I think Trump is lying publicly to reduce the oil price. He just said he is negotiating with Iran, which Iran is publicly refuting. The oil price took a nose dive shortly after.
The price of commodities is determined by gigantic financial institutions that sell fake futures contracts not backed by any physical good.
The prices will continue to be manipulated until the physical goods are no longer able to be delivered or to have their delayed deliveries hand-waved away.
Actually, in this not-a-war you saw a disparity between the physical and paper price of oil, the former of which sometimes had a 50% premium over the latter. The same thing happened in corona when oil was selling for -30 dollars, simply because selling it at a loss was cheaper than shutting down.

This talking point is going over like a lead balloon on T_D. The removal of downvotes means "dissenting" posters can point these things out without being downvoted into oblivion, however that just means various users are going full copium and trying to dismiss such posts as shills, propaganda, bots, and the like.
It's ironic that in an attempt to hide just how many aren't on board with the current Iran situation all the site did in the end was stop them being brigaded for jumping on the bandwagon blindly.
We might need our greatest Ally to conscript citizens.
Iraq needed ~150k troops just to invade
Iran is:~3× the population, Much tougher geography, More capable militarily.

Trump has been lying nonstop since this mess began. Actually he's been lying nonstop since 2016.
