The 'Washington-Tehran Ceasefire' is here, and the timing couldn't be better for the Hamptons season. Oil prices have plummeted back below $100 a barrel, ensuring that private jet fuel surcharges won't ruin your summer travel plans. It’s a classic case of 'Imperial Triage.' Washington has effectively traded Ukrainian air defense for cheaper crude.

To keep the tankers moving, the U.S. has launched a $40 billion maritime insurance facility. It turns out the state is more than happy to gamble public money to make sure the champagne keeps flowing in Dubai. While the 'Engineered Thirst' campaign in Bahrain has turned off the taps for the locals, the ceasefire ensures the desalination plants at the luxury resorts stay operational.

Ukraine is reportedly rationing power, but that’s a world away from the cooling systems in the Persian Gulf. In the grand theater of geopolitics, some allies are simply more expensive than others. For the next 14 days, the world is pretending to be at peace so the global elite can fill their tanks without flinching. It’s not about diplomacy; it’s about logistics. Peace is just a temporary subsidy for the travel class.
