Wish that word-spewers would stop pretending that there is anything fundamentally connected between global oil prices and Iranian nuclear bomb making. (It IS correlated with blocking the Hormuz Straits). Lord, for once could we just say real reasons for doing things? One can artificially power-force there to be connections between anything one wants for any deranged reason, but world economic history does not connect these two things. The current pseudo-connectivity is obviously entirely caused by reactionary response to War with oil threats being a rare useable card in the game of hit-me-hit-you after-the-fact. One could search world statistics and come up with baseless correlations between damm near anything. We can I'm sure find that higher diabetes in the country correlates to increased French Pie Makers (obvious causal correlate.) Bomb those bastards. I once found a correlation between eating ROUND pies and becoming ROUNDER. Roundness was obviously directly transferable.
