Saudi Arabia holds a Royal Flush over America.

[LoneLaugher]

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?

Parrot Trump much? jebus christo.... think for yourself for a change gramps!

money isn't everything.... the love of it, is the root of all evil, if one is to believe the Bible....

Are we better human beings than the royal family in Saudi Arabia... or you want to lower ourselves in to supporting MURDERERS just for money?

Trump is bringing all of his supporters down to the lake of fire with him.... BRAVO!

Can't parrot that which I have not heard. Not everything in life is binary twit.

Fucking liar.

We have been telling the ORANGE idiots all along, america is tangled in the international web....and we don't need a clown that jeopardize our lives by his stupid outings and idiotic moves. I'm from the region and the Saudi royal family are POS ***** that need to go, but the US didn't care and now they wanna show they have a say....Trump threatened the royal family that they can't last 2 weeks in power without american protection....I say the US economy can collapse in one week period if the Saudis are pissed at us.
America first my ass, we depend on lot of countries and there is no way out for now.

How do you figure World War I started bud ? All it takes is a trigger. Archduke Franz Ferdinand ring a bell ?
This time the guy's name is Jamal Khashoggi. With his execution he lands in the middle of a moral principles vs CASH debate which will define the future of post-WWII democracies and whether America will still be viewed as a shining city upon a hill. Now wear your Trump glasses and ask yourself if you'll take the cash?
Britain, France, Ireland and Russia were part of an alliance called the Triple Entente, while Germany aligned itself with Austria-Hungary – known as the Central Powers. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on 28th June 1914, it triggered a chain of events that resulted in World War 1.

Knowing when to pick your battles is vital.
Just ask Eisenhower

LOL sometimes the battle is not yours to pick. Like a virus, it comes to you if you let it spread long enough.

There is a danger if Saudi's and Iran ditch the USD$ in favor of the EURO for example. Looks like the US was starting to buy more Saudi oil.

However, the U.S. announced the return of sanctions on Iran, including on its oil, Venezuela’s production continued to plunge by around 40,000 bpd-50,000 bpd every month, outages in Libya and Nigeria continued, and Brent Crude prices hit $80 a barrel in May.

$100 bil here, $100 bil there....Yeah, it's just chump change.

Yeah, like 1% of the Treasury market.....scary!!

 

[caddo kid]

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.

I agree BUT WHY are some threads ending up in the Middle East forum that are originally posted in the Political, or Current Events forums, that are the same exact subject matter?

The US has the largest oil reserves in the world shit like this shouldn't even be possible.

 

[Wyatt earp]

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?

You do know we are an exporter of oil right? You do know the reason why gas was so low was because one of the reasons was to shut down American fracking right????

The Saudis won't. They need the US as an ally over Iran, and lately (with Trump) they've become rather more aggressive on Iran because they think Trump won't hold them to account. (Which he won't).

Fuck you.

Take OUR SIDE for a change.

Trump is not on OUR SIDE here.

Our side?

He wasn't a US citizen.
If wasn't on American soil.
It involved no US personel.


How the fuck Is this OUR PROBLEM to deal with? And exactly how is it "our side"

Until January of 2017 we were the good guys and freedom was our job.

 

[Care4all]

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.

Nah. Less than $200 billion.

$166 billion to be precise and you are right, that;s not that much!

We stop exporting the oil we're pumping here at home. Problem solved, end of discussion.

It's not 1972 anymore. America exports more crude oil than Saudi Arabia does.

True but it is. The left ensured that we were dependent on other nations for oil.
Sadly we are where we are RIGHT NOW and no amount of new drilling would prevent our economy from nose diving if this situation is handled poorly.

 

[Care4all]

too bad the president didn't cozy up to Mexico and Canada, we sure could use more of their oil right about now.... but no... the orange clown chose Saudi Arabia to play tootsies with first....


plus the clown pulled out of the Iran deal....

the clown is a lowlife coward and our enemies, KNOW IT, or this crap would NOT be happening imo...

Oil prices are not dictated by our production. We don't live in a bubble people. Our oil is added to the pool and the price is a result of that combined pool. We do not have the capacity to counter balance any sudden changes to another nations production.

Once again that's why gas prices were so damn low, the Saudis were trying to hurt the Iranians and the US fracking industry, do you know how many of them had to shut down because the barrel of oil was so low??? Raise it up and you will have Walmarts and McDonalds paying $17 bucks an hour again in the fracking towns.
