LOL, you think Trump gives a fuck? America is already energy independent. The Venezuelan oil allows us to stack the reserves as a hedge against the market. My point, as before, is that we're insulated from any "immense global economic" anything.
We're immune from the oil issue now. That's why we hijacked Venezuela. Good luck to Europe with their wind farms! 🤣
That's a pretty naive take. The US is energy independent, but financially intertwined. GCC countries hold some of the largest investment capitals in the world, and they have highly invested in the AI bubble and the US stock market in general. If Iran keeps blockading the strait of Hormuz and targeting their oil infrastructure, they will remove hundreds of billions of dollars from the US economy both as a pressure towards the US and as a way to eventually recover.
I don't think he gives a fuck. I don't think I give a fuck either. But us not caring doesn't mean those effects disappear. Personally I'm rooting for the collapse of the EU.
What happens when you run out of energy after importing a bajillion violent, low-IQ rapefugees?
