First part
Think: the gas crisis in the early and the late 70's
I'm thinking its more about petro dollars and sinking the economy to prevent Trump from getting re-elected.
Ask yourself what happens when gas prices are too high? Think about: manufacturing and transportation of all goods and how high priced gas effects the price of goods and who pays those increases in cost when they make purchases.
People always change their willingness to spend when prices go up and that SLOWS the economy too.
Second part:
If we should go after Iran's oil fields as part of a war .....ask yourself WHO gets their oil from Iran?....China is a big one. How does that help a Trade deal? It doesn't. It just makes it even harder to get them back to the table. Finally, which oil supplying country is left untouched? My first thought is Russia.
Sorry no sauce...just MHO.
I think you might be on to something there. The economy tanked the last timer gas prices went up suddenly....Hmmm.
