I think they just want to resuscitate the oil industry (or at least save some of their investments) so they’re trying to force oil to gain back value by building gas AI centers. This strategy requires hyping both AI data centers and oil as desirable. Distracting from Epstein files is just a fringe benefit.

    To put some more context there, those US wars are always started by some Republican government when the oil price is falling. They almost always succeed in stopping the fall or making them rebound.

    But correlation isn't causation. I don't think the US has fought any resources war since the 2 world wars. And they weren't in those for the resources either, even though both had an important resource sub-plot going on.
