Not bad, but check these moves:

>Saudi and USA want to crush Russia and Iran to maintain global supremacy
>OPEC falls apart over oil pricing
>Saudi decides to flood market with cheap oil
>This hurts USA, but far less than Russia and Iran, Venezuela, whose economies are completely dependent upon energy exports.
>US can print money to support economy, everyone else gets weaker.
>Virus comes out, forces people to stay inside, screeches economy to a halt.
>Virus is real, but intentionally overblown to scare as many people as possible from going out and buying too much stuff.
>China gets fucked because it's exports ground to a halt
>But China also benefits because Russia is getting cucked.
>Maybe the US, Saudi and China are all in this to cuck Russia. China gets more regional clout, but USA can now justify a shift to domestic production which was politically impossible before virus.
>Saudi gets to starve out its arch-rival Iran by flooding the market with cheap oil

tl;dr virus is real but intentionally overblown to create hysteria to slow down the global economy so US, Saudi and China can reach certain geo-strategic goals.
