Is there any reason to think that dump didnt start the war against Iran to pay back the oil companies that donated

[Eko]

So much to him? Seems very conspiracy theoryish but
He just gave him, his family and his criminal supporters $1.776 billion, I'm not sure that I would put the war in Iran for his Oil donors past him considering that.

1. He's done his best to destroy any projects that were alternative energy

I have thought that was to take care of the oil companies for supporting him

[Eko]

3. Cant argue against that.

[Walleye]

6. He doesn't know the first thing about oil markets

He thinks there’s such a thing as “our oil“ is he going take over the oil business, I don’t think so

[Wounded Bear]

2. Probably, but I suspect we'll get a massive surge in EV orders this fall/winter...

so it may backfire in the long run.

4. It is exactly why he did it

It will backfire on U.S. oil and natural gas producers because the rest of the world is going to renewables at light speed.

The U.S. is one of the highest cost producers, so even a modest decline from the pre-Iran price would crush domestic production.

5. This

His motives here are glaring even though in many of his other endeavors transparency is not a feature. Some more of watch the clown in the center ring while we (Republicans and their owners) loot the treasury for their benefactors. We the taxpaying public are not the benefactors of any of their malfeasance.

7. Oil companies have better morals than trump

[Eko]

8. I dont know about that.

They have been knowingly polluting our air and water for decades and lying to the American people about it, wait, you might be right, dump may be worse. Still, I wouldn't put it past them either.
