It absolutely had something to do with it
Maybe I should state it a little differently.
Imagine if every weather forecasting expert on the planet started predicting back in April that North America will have an exceptionally cold winter in '26-'27 with extended weeks of subzero temperatures as far south as the Florida Keys and Brownsville TX. Then they doubled-down over the summer saying over and over again it was actually going to be worse than first thought.
What do you think would happen to the price of orange juice?
Is is reasonable to say that by August, September, October the price of OJ would be exceptionally high?
Now was it the weather that caused it?

Yep, we have a lot of dependents who just can not let go of the government teat and can only afford to watch MSM!!

Thanks for that explanation. Now what if I told you that historically oil prices tend to peak throughout the summer and then fall in November? What if I also told you that a major military action adversely affecting a major international petroleum shipping channel would also adversely affect petroleum prices? What would your reaction be?

I’ve been thinking a lot about this the last few days, and really do think it was a part of the Democrats game plan to invest in pushing oil prices up.
What Jones came out about their plan was having a propaganda machine pushing “affordability” on social media definitely wouldn’t put it pass them to take money to jump it up. Also, taking advantage of the political betting apps too. Essentially if you are betting one way, you are going to at least vote that way.
Our elections are jacked up.

Someone was saying they'd resume bombing Iran after the midterm, for quite a while. Dude got his shite pushed in and proceded to TACO, so prices have gone down. He really alley ooped this to his former party, flawlessly.

Being a threat to globalists increases fuel prices?
Is this where you pretend globalists don't manipulate global markets?

Seriously?
Oil prices have been manipulated for centuries, this is not new.
Just wonder why the average folks keep buying into it after all this time.

How were they manipulated here?

I would say oil futures would jump until the extent of said adverse effects became known. I would also say that fuel wholesalers would immediately raise prices no differently than they do when a hurricane forms in the Gulf. Once conditions stabilize, AS THEY DID MONTHS AGO, markets return to normal conditions of supply and demand.

This is the poliboard I’ve missed.

That doesn’t explain the 40-50 cent per gallon increase in gas prices not attributable to crude oil prices from May to October this year.
That has already shrunk by 30 cents in November.

The Iranians aren't globalists
They're the opposite of globalists. And they were the ones disrupting trade.
This isn't even that difficult to comprehend yet here you are

So the usual market fluctuations that have always applied wouldn’t apply this year? Why not? Also, when did conditions stabilize months ago?

Do gas prices not attributable to oil prices not historically rise throughout the summer and then fall in autumn?

Doesn’t matter. Globalist are doing globalist things in Iran for the sole purpose of preventing an 80 year old man from fighting FOR you…
The only thing standing between you and the globalist is Trump.
You should be thankful, not critical.

So you think the disruption of international trade had nothing to do with crude prices and it was just a bunch of commodity traders out to get Trump?
Why did so many nations release record amounts of reserves to try to mitigate the price increases if it was just globalist commodity traders out to get Trump anyway?
I swear some of you don't think about anything at all. No wonder people think all you weirdos are in a cult.

Oil prices obviously weren't high because of Iran.
This is obvious, because if they were then oil would still be high right now. Nothing has changed about Iran since the elections and a Dem Congress won't be able to do anything about it either.

Who manipulated the oil prices and how?
London by refusing to insure oil tankers in the strait of Hormuz even when we guaranteed naval escorts

So for Iran to have been a factor in high oil prices, you’re saying that typical seasonal effects on high oil prices cannot be a factor? I’m not going to lie, that’s weird.
