You can make an argument everything is economics, but I don’t think Trump got into this war for economic reasons (other actors may have, but not Trump)
Trump’s a useful idiot with motivations like “being near gold”, “not shitting himself”, and “getting away with fucking kids”. I guarantee the guys at raytheon, palantir, haliburton et al ran the numbers before they let him start dropping bombs
Assuming human civilization lasts this long, in a hundred years they’re going to call this period the Resource Wars.
The scary thing is, it hasn’t even really started yet.
A lot of wars are over resources. The Gulf War and Iraq War were fairly recent wars that were also specifically over oil on the middle east.
