Yeah, yeah, look, I think this is his advisors telling him, well, you know, uh oil prices could go up if the uh, you know, Iranians decide to shut the Straits of Hormuz, which is where twenty percent of global oil comes through.
Uh, you know, I think that's probably what's going on.
And uh by the way, I can confirm for him, not that I not that he listens to me, but I can confirm for him that Medvedev put up some sort of social media post.
So I can at least make get that done for him today.
Uh Medvedev did in fact say that he may, you know, Russia may provide nukes.
But, you know, I I I I don't believe that that's going to happen.
I don't believe that individually we've got the ability to keep oil prices down.
And I also don't believe that the Department of Energy has anything to do with oil drilling.
Now that said, what's really going on here, of course, is uh, you know, maybe the man's a little nervous.
You know.
Because he's uh he's he's gotten himself and us into a massive, massive gamble that involves gasoline prices and nuclear weapons and all sorts of serious things.
Um but you know, look, it's the classic Trump thing, right?
It's the game of chicken.
Or I think this goes back to the Nixon administration.
You know, uh what if you're the craziest guy in the room?
If you're the craziest guy in the room and you've got nuclear weapons and don't really understand what's going on, which is
certainly all of those posts suggest to be true, people are likely to give you a wide berth and a big margin.
So I I think that's what's going on.
Yeah, fair enough.
Fair enough.
