Oil Prices Jump Most on Record After Saudi Strike

I said "almost" inevitable. And if you are arguing that the US should not prevent annihilation of the Jewish state, or other allies, well, you are arguing a lost cause...

Israel is not going to accept a nuclear power that wants to destroy them, especially not if it can do something about that. The US (and I hope most of Europe) is not going to let Iran destroy Israel, either. The Iran is not going to stop meddling in the middle east, nor are they going to just accept economic starvation.

So what gives?

It seems to me that we have been conditioned into accepting certain theories as facts/truths. Most of the above is non-sequitur to me: how does bombing of oil production facilities in Saudi Arabia have anything to do with the "annihilation of the Jewish state", and how does this supposed anihilation automatically follow from anything? How did we get to Iran and Israel from Saudi Arabia? And why did you say "a lost cause"?

There are so many jumps here that they would be really hard to follow for someone who hasn't been soaked in official messaging for the last years.
