A conspiracy theory comes to mind: The "Tax Kingpin" isn't exactly a respectable person. He calls for everyone to participate in escort missions in the Taiwan Strait, and you all refuse. What if he restricts US oil exports someday? Currently, the US contributes 4 trillion US dollars in exports daily; what will happen to China, Europe, and Japan then? His thinking is simple: just two points, one line. He'll order WTI and Brent crude to decouple, regardless of whether it's heavy sour or light sweet. We just need to keep winning, winning until we're exhausted.
