Market Manipulation

[gab13by13]

2. Oh that fairy tale

the invisible hand of the market.

The #1 economic number that Krasnov is concerned about, is the price of crude oil. He can't lie about that, Magats need to fill up their pickup trucks.

I agree with what you are saying. I believe that Big Oil is keeping gasoline and diesel prices lower than they should be. Krasnov gave away the store to the fossil fuel industry and now he wants them to take care of him.

If gasoline and diesel were $6.00 and $8.00/gal the market would crater. Boots on the ground in Iran should get us close to the market crashing, but who knows, maybe just a calming word from Krasnov will keep it from falling.

Also, the wild card is the Houthis, if they start disrupting ships at the Bab-al-Mandeb strait many economies will crash.
