IEA members decide to release emergency reserves, even as the White House has declared the war against Iran to "be largely over". It seems all IEA members are being conscripted into ensuring Trump doesn't fall further in his approval ratings as price increases hit home. www.bbc.com/news/live/cd...

If the United States succeeds in its efforts regarding regime change in Iran (without soldiers on the ground), it will more or less indirectly or directly control 40% of Chinaโs oil imports. Until now, Beijing has remained passive even as one ally after another falls. (Image: OpenAI GPT)
The Trump administrationโs lack of understanding of Anthropicโs concerns about mass surveillance and autonomous weapons reveals everything about the White House. www.ft.com/content/7bbc...
The USA (& EU) have not exercised due diligence, but China has. And no, it is not โJoe Bidenโs faultโ. It is decades of both Rep. and Democ. presidents who have not had long-term plans.
