Country 9 in global oil reserves has invaded country 1 and arrested its president. Country 7 is under sanctions and its refineries are being destroyed. Country 2 is facing off with country 6. And there are riots in country 3. But oil is only $60/bbl. Maybe oil is not as critical as it used to be?

is it a coincidence that 2 key countries in Trump’s crosshairs are Venezuela, with the world’s largest known oil reserves, and Nigeria, the top oil producer in Africa?
Trump says he ordered strikes on ISIS targets in Nigeria
The president said numerous strikes were conducted against alleged Islamic State terrorists whom he accused of targeting Christians in northwest Nigeria.

For 2026, I hope Europe gets a spokesperson who will talk like this to the Russians, pre-empting these type of threats.
Such as if Russia does not step forward towards peace, Europe has the right to defend Ukraine airspace and shoot down anything that crosses its borders. Step up the rethoric!

Putin mentioned the possibility of a large-scale war when answering a question about a possible blockade of the Kaliningrad region:
I hope that won't happen.If such threats are made against us,weʼll eliminate them.Everyone must understand ...will lead to an unprecedented escalation of the conflict

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.
