The bonkers thing is: if you wanted to attack Iran, as the US, you’d need to be willing to cut ties to the GCC.
That means investing in renewables, having a way to stabilize USD without the petrodollar (global free trade with big trade deficits is a good way), and keeping energy demand fairly predictable.
Instead we got: repealing investments in renewables, tariffs, and spiking energy demands due to reckless data center build-outs.

Yeah, Trump behaves as if the national interest of the United States is not his top priority.

Ironically the exchange rate between the Euro and USD has improved in favor of the dollar after the war began.
My guess is issues in the straight leads to more American fossil.fuels.being purchased by Europe, strengthening the dollar.

No duh. We go through this every four years. Then people return to importing natural gas and buying gas guzzling SUVs. Memories seem to be quite short.
