streets? helicopters fly very high over the streets:mjlol:

1. as if you gave a fukk:comeon:
You're right. I don't give THAT much of a fukk. The average saudi probably believe some shyt that is fundamentally incompatible with the West, but the fact remains, we're discussing macroeconomics and I know, personally, where I stand.

You're free to moralize this shyt away to feel better about yourself, but ultimately, no one who actually has any influence or power gives a fukk about what your mind-state is.

I enjoy the dollar hegemony, I enjoy the benefits of western democracies, and I enjoy the benefits of philosophy that organize this society.

The many must suffer for the few :manny:

You act like Russian sanctions don't affect the innocent either
When have I ever philosophically OK'd sanctions?

And would you be willing to suffer for the greater good? :yadontsay:

Ukraine is infinitely more important to geopolitical stability than the 40 year decline of Detroit.

Deal with it.
There's more to a country's stability than geopolitics. This KSA shyt LITERALLY speaks to that :pachaha:

I don't know if or when you ever have. What I DO know is that soft-power exists and its very useful.

No, there isn't.

The only people who say this shyt are people who live in powerful countries who don't realize what its like to be someone else's bytch.

This is precisely why I wonder if some of you ever travel around the world or have any family outside of the USA to get real perspectives from.

Majority of the oil fields are in Shiite territory. If the budget worsens and economic situation deteriorates I definitely see an uprising, where the Shiites supported by Iran finally makes their move. Within 15 years, Iran and their Shiite brothers could control Iran Oil/Gas fields, Iraq Oil/Gas fields, Bahrain Oil/Gas fields and even Saudi Oil/Gas fields. The Saudis should be worried.

No more of this I think in the coming years, Britain's flashiest tourist flies £1m gold supercars to London

Yea its kind of funny that dude is laughing at them but will probably rationalize the hollowing out of the American middle class.

Again we are talking about a dude who prioritizes Ukraine over Detroit (though now he is fishing for daps with these "American highway" stories). The cognitive dissonance is off the chain w/the lil homie
the mind fukking boggles:mjlol:

(though now he is fishing for daps with these "American highway" stories)

yeah he's got everyone fooled:beli:..........:sas1:.........:pachaha:

I have mixed feelings

Based on current tax rates and GDP they will need to generate $500B from foreigners.... or just levy a ~10% tax on Saudis

shyt will be :sadcam: for citizens but it is what it is. Plus oil WILL rebound. I dont really see this deficit shyt being a big deal in the short term

No doubt shyt is gonna suck for the saudi citizens... but fukk them:skip:

and yeah oil will rebound... eventually:manny:


Right now I don't think anything is working in oils favor, to shoot back up in price.
Hell I can see oil going lower and staying there for awhile... with decreasing global demand and Iran coming online to pump.




Shiiiiit I really think oil only goes back up through some attack hitting the saudi fields/refineries... and doing serious damage. Price would fukking explode back up to $100 a barrel instantly probably :skip:

I am from NYC and traveled out of the country twice last year and am traveling for a month this year u clown. I went to Peru last fall.... when's the last time u traveled???? Stop assuming u are the smartest dude in the room, this always leads to your downfall in these discussions.

The collapse of a major manufacturing and cultural hub in the US is definitely a bigger deal for the US than fukking Ukraine :rolleyes: Just like the collapse of revenue and stability from the implosion of KSA's only industry is a way bigger deal for it than any geopolitical concerns. KSA itself is a prime example of how domestic issues >>>>>>>>>> geopolitical games. KSA would be NOTHING without oil & stability. They would be fukking Yemen status. Like I said all those Wahabbi mosques and proxy wars will come to a CEASE if that oil $$$ dries up :pachaha: Similarly the US would be nothing without $17T a year in GDP, a stable govt that recognizes human and civil rights, and a strong n diverse economy. Guns n butter little nikka. Broke countries can't wage wars. U got the shyt backwards.

That won't make a difference. The shiities currently do not benefit from and have never benefitted from the oil bonanza. They are typically the poorest Saudi ''citizens''.

They have already had multiple uprisings over the year. Saudis govt just cracked down.

Also they are a minority surrounded by a Sunni majority who have been fed a steady diet of anti-shia material for decades.
