I have my own little conspiracy theory that Trump’s lead up obsession with the black gold being more domestically drilled and churned had to do with disrupting the Middle East’s supply to Europe on the back of Russia being sanctioned.

Other places in the world will be impacted, but not as much as Europe. He has also been pushing this whole narrative of “We don’t need the EU. The EU needs us!” and what better way to initiate all that build up by throwing a match onto the Middle East, for reasons yet to be explained.

If I’m right, it’s very important that the Middle East doesn’t get baited into regional conflict. If that happens, the guy that started it will walk away, “We want to keep America safe. In the meantime, we’re happy to sell our oil to Europe…for a price… Even though we got South America reserves now too…”

I think the failed leasing of reserves off Alaska is intentional too. It’s letting the industry know it’s there, despite expect ing no buyer for now.

Europe should’ve started dependency years earlier, but hindsight. No one would ever know this would happen just a few years ago.

Hopefull I’m wrong lol. Most conspiracy theories always are, by a lot.
