Saudi Arabia holds a Royal Flush over America.

[Remodeling Maidiac]

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...

Sigh.....

You people are so stupid. Everyone sells their oil on the same market. A barrel of oil doesn't cost 79.00 because Saudi Arabia set that price. It is the market value based on overall supply and demand. You remove or constrict 15% of the worlds oil and the overall supply goes down which drives up the price NO MATTER THE SOURCE

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?

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

DERP

Oblivious to world markets too?

Trump has been grabbed by his pussy by the Saudis; He will never go to war because Trump's 'bone spurs' are still an issue for Der Fuhrer.

This exact situation is why Palin was right. Drill baby, drill.

There is no situation. This is going to get swept under the rug.

That is what Trump was thinking when he was on top of Stormy Daniels: 'drill baby drill'

Even if it is, it is the reason we need to become self sufficient. If we were we could avoid this kind of threat.

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

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?

We make up the supply shortage and drive them on down. I don't recall ever worrying about these things before Carter. Gas/Diesel/Oil were all cheap and plentiful before then.

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.

The fact that we're depend on a lot of countries can't be pinned on TRUMP.

I'd start with Carter on that.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

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.

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!

$166 billion in July.....and the total has been rising.

So what happens when we say fuck you we dont need your oil and the military hardware you're buying just went up 50%?

We get another dozen terrorists blowing up shit in the US?

We are playing with fire.

Like the 19 we got FROM SAUDI ARABIA in Sept. 2001?

Fire indeed. Smarmy AND Corrupt.

Chumps. Every Fucking one of us.

 

[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.

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?

Because some decisions around here are still being made by humans.

Now, let's get back to the topic of this thread, 'k?

He can't do shir about it...the orange himself depends on other countries....he invited the Russians to trump tower, went dancing with the Saudis, reignited the middle east crisis by ducking israels balls and the list is long.

Had we made the decision to LEAD the world in developing alternatives to fossil fuels, we’d not have any issues with oil prices at all.

We didn’t. That’s on “conservatives”. Period.

If we could turn liberal tears into power, we'd be carbon free already.

I'd say the saudis are the ones playing with fire.
Bush let em slide,I'm not so sure Trump will.

Wanna bet? He will do next to nothing or nothing at all. Maybe he will make up a cute lil nickname for them. Then tell them he loves them.
