Adam: trump's rhetoric aside, have you seen what's really tanking iran's economy?
Zoe: so basically Trump is just making a big show about war strategy, but oil prices are the real story here
Theo: unbelievably shortsighted to think escalation will only drive prices higher - isn't anyone worried about what a global economic downturn would look like?
Marekkim: i'm waiting to see how long this spike lasts actually
Ember Talon: 100 bucks an barrel? someone's been briefing trump on economics I guess
Hailecleo: iran's all out on this one, guess that'll raise the price of gas soon
Selimc: trump's got no plan except to claim victory - and we all know how that ends
Fractal Sable: still waiting for someone to connect the dots on how this oil price hike affects global car sales numbers - or are we all just gonna be driving Teslas instead?
Zoe: Iran's threats sound like a desperate bid to deflect attention from their own internal issues - can't afford to look weak at home
