DW NOTE
This is a multi-topic roundup with no unified analytical thread — diesel shortages, Greenland diplomacy, and AI war scares belong in separate stories. The only substantive thread is diesel: U.S. stockpiles hit 25-day lows in May 2022 and never recovered; now ExxonMobil's Joliet refinery is offline, the Hormuz closure has cut global oil supply by 5.7 million barrels per day, and diesel just crossed $6.45. Truckers threatening an October 1 strike aren't making a political statement — they're responding to input costs that have doubled in nine months while freight rates stayed flat.
