Iran War's Global Ripples Expose Strategic Chaos
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
The war is reshaping alliances and energy markets faster than official narratives can track, with China quietly decarbonising while Washington publicly picks fights with London.
💡 Why it matters
A strained US-UK relationship and China's falling emissions could redefine post-war geopolitics and accelerate the global shift away from oil.
China's CO2 emissions fell 1% as oil use dropped after the Strait of Hormuz crisis, while Trump suggested the UK would lose US support over the Falklands for not backing the Iran war. The US also admitted Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick falsely claimed no American deaths
