Author implies a major geopolitical escalation (ground troops) is possible, which historically creates oil market volatility. Fear of a broader "bloodbath" in markets tomorrow suggests avoiding or exiting oil positions due to unpredictable price action driven by war news. The post advises caution ("Hold or run") regarding oil holdings ahead of the speech, framing it as a high-risk event. Speech may contain no escalation (as top comments argue), instead declaring victory (TACO). Market could rally on de-escalation. Oil might spike on conflict news, contrary to the author's implied fear.
