🧵Paul Krugman: «Over the weekend…Trump…announced that the US would begin bombing power plants…that supply electricity to Iran’s civilian population—unless the Strait was cleared.
At 7:05 AM Monday Trump called the whole thing off…
Who could have seen this coming?
The…person or people who bought large quantities of stock market futures and sold large quantities of oil futures around 15 minutes before Trump’s announcement.»

That word is “treason.”»
