Aviation will always involve politics. The OP started the thread because he was concerned that war involving a major producer of crude oil and natural gas that is needed to produce energy for the economy which aviation is very sensitive to, would have a negative effect on aviation. The ensuing discussion/debate is about the reasons why. It's very relevant.

For those who "don't know/care about politics because it doesn't affect me and I don't understand any of that stuff" the simple explanation is: If the policies our political leaders pursue today make it so that energy prices are so high that your customers can't afford to buy a seat in the back of the airplane, your company starts parking planes again, and the pilot hiring boom/shortage/whatever you want to call it becomes another pilot hiring bust, and before long, leads to another lost decade. We're closer to that point than many are willing to accept.
