The idiot crew around Donald Trump may have been so focused on personal enrichment schemes that they didn’t bother to examine the medium- to long-term effects of waging war on Iran. Patrick Boyle makes a key point (8:56) when he talks about “…the hole in the global energy supply that no amount of diplomatic pressure can fill…”

Unfortunately, the financial markets have morphed into the largest casino on the planet. Trading no longer is connected to the underlying economy. Currently, the financial markets are valued at approx $500 trillion while the value of global GDP is only $100 trillion.
