and that the increased gas prices are the primary reason why, but will Israel under Bibi (most Israelis are wonderful people but not BIBI) have the OK now to bomb Iran?

(3,750 posts)I do think that the main driver in all of this is the oil money, though. You remember that Huuuuuuuge deposit of oil and gas and whatever up in Russian waters? Well, it will be much easier to deal with if there is no more nasty ol' ice up there. Well on the way to that.....Amurica needs to ramp up its fossil fuel use to warm us all up and, probably we will need some of that Russian oil when the MPG figures go back down. Well on the way. Iran is a competitor by selling its oil. An unstable area drives up oil prices. Done and Done. Putin needs that oil money to keep playing. He has sown up most of his goals through Trump and the Republicans. Causing a civil war in America is just the cherry on top. Wake Up America! Eat the Rich!
