The Price of Gas and the Iranian War? [View all]
How are they connected? People with a lot of oil stocks are making truckloads of money. Perhaps better framed as a "shitload"?
Putin and Trump are friends. Putin supports Iran. Iran stops much of the oil going thru the Strait of Hormuz. Or as someone called it, the Strait of Trump.
Putin and Trump just recently had a 90-minute phone call.
In my opinion, Putin, Trump, and the leaders in Iran have conspired in some manner to drive up the price of oil. Nothing like a little war.
Putin needed the influx of cash into his war effort in Ukraine. He has benefited more than anyone else in this war, thus far. Oil is their main commodity.
Iran could also profit from the high fuel prices and the price of oil.
What sort of cut does Donald get?
