Saudi Arabia holds a Royal Flush over America.

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Saudi could quite easily drive our economy straight into the shitter with their control over oil.

How the hell do we avoid the inevitable disaster that may well result from any consequences we try to impose on them?
And why does every Americans financial well being have to be tied to a solitary individual who is not even an American citizen and did not die on American soil?

Are you all willing to goto war over a single individual?

 

[Oddball]

It's not the oil, it's that the USD is the currency for trading in oil....The Saudis have a shit ton of them.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

They could more than double the price of oil. Are we willing to pay 7 to 9 bucks a gallon at the pump just to make a stand that ultimately would me nothing to Saudi leaders?

We will tell them no more WWE and they will crumble

They have lass power over us now than at any other time in the last few decades. They are no longer our primary import supplier and we could restart the stalled fracking industry and drive prices down if they tried to drive them up.

Stop playing their game, make them play ours.

/----/ The USA is the #1 producer of oil. And NG is quickly taking over. Saudis need us more than we need them.

 

[ThoughtCrimes]

It's nothing to be concerned about!

It's just more of that Trump winning shit!

Later this week, the Shitball-in-Chief will order a tariff on Saudi steel and aluminum greater than that he put on China. That'll show them!!!!

NO MORE COKE-A-COLA FOR THEM EITHER...Trump will teach 'em!

K thanks for that pointless narrow minded post but you need to THINK. Their oil counts for about 15% of the world market. So what happens to prices if they decide to play games and cause a shortage?

Or.......

We could ground their Air Force with the stroke of a pen by withholding parts until they behave.

Which would likely net us the same result.

why isn't this in the Middle East forum?

Yeah... sorry.

I'm just really disgusted with the relationship our two nations have had over the years. It's been smarmy at best and corrupt at worst.

Since WW2, America has had a habit of supporting the Dick-taters instead of the Freedom Fighters.




You get what you pay for, I suppose....

 

[AVG-JOE]

why isn't this in the Middle East forum?

Because it's relevant political discussion.

For every question of destination, multiple answers can be right.

They seem to have our President by the balls

They could double theirs... And then we would buy from others, the supply would tighten a bit, maybe $5 a gallon and the Saudi income drops to zero. I'll bet a dollar that they wouldn't double for long.

The sooner humanity understands the true power of the market the building and consolidating of wealth, the better.

Weird, eh?

They need us a whole lot more than we need them.

Fuck you.

Take OUR SIDE for a change.

Trump is not on OUR SIDE here.

True in 2016 and holds true today, it's an empty threat.

We use our own oil?
