      With Iran already being economically isolated for years before this war, there’s not enough new risk of further economic damage to cause a market crash.

          Thats what i think would affect the market

          Trump (and Putin) want oil and gas prices to rise. It’s Russia’s only significant source of foreign currency earnings.

      Well you see that’s where Trump’s level of genius shines. Don’t shoot the archers, shoot the arrows (it looks way cooler and people think you’re so badass).

      Sure you might lose a naval vessel or twelve when US capacity to build more ships is really low, but that’s a sacrifice this level of genius is willing to make (totally unawares, probably).
