But I surprised to see another headline.
"Israel prepares to send tanks and troops into Gaza".
Israel is the oldest terrorist organization on the planet and the genocide of Palestinians by the hands of this organization have been going on for 75 years. So the headlines about it are bound to always be present in the mainstream media specially in countries that support this terrorist organization, in this case UK trying to cover up the genocide.
I don't discuss geopolitics here. I only wonder will this war causes the inflation worse?
In short not unless it expands.
This time it is different because this time nobody in West Asia is tolerating Western support of this terrorist organization so they have been declaring war on US specially after POTUS visited the organization's headquarters and increased the supply of bombs used to kill Palestinian children.
Over the past two week all US military bases that are illegally occupying Iraq and Syria have been getting attacked regularly and US casualties are already in 3 digits.
Last night other groups in different countries joined in and declared that other US bases in West Asia such as in Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait are legitimate targets as long as US continues supporting the Israeli terrorists. I haven't seen any news regarding attacks on these targets but if those bases start getting attacked it could significantly affect oil price which in turn affects the inflation.
Additionally these attacks have been "light" so far, using loitering munitions, rockets and shells taking small number of casualties from US military. More importantly US CENTCOM has not dared respond to any of these attacks.
If CENTCOM decides to retaliate against any of them, the attacks will change in nature and become "heavier" using missiles with heavier warheads and deadlier loitering munitions and using much larger number. Which would also expand the conflict to the seas, namely Red Sea (Suez Canal, Bab al-Mandab Strait), Persian Gulf (Strait of Hurmuz), etc. that would not only affect oil and gas supply of the entire world but also affects the international trade by shutting down the trade route through Suez Canal. This can cause hyper inflation very quickly.
