So the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia -MBS is pretty much Saddam-lite?

I think if his pops is alive the next president might make him consider another prince to run the show..... which mean this prince is gonna start killing his brothers again.

One of the main reasons I am not against fracking 100% is because it keeps us away from having to compromise to the Saudi’s will.

Trump giving them so much sway is because they bribed him. In a year or two there problems are going to start up again.

If America invades SA, I'd expect that to trigger WWIII. I'd imagine most warong muslim nations would scrap their beefs and direct their anger towards America.

Without looking it up I think the majority of fracking production is exported. And I dont really see the connection to be honest

I did see it in reverse though. Whenever the Saudis flooded the market a brought gas down from $4 maybe in 2015 a bunch of fracking wells shut down around me. My well water also stopped having oil in it

you are partially right though. Higher oil prices makes fracking and oil sands production more viable - ie north america. Its approx $30-50 per barrel to break even, while ~$5 cost to pull a barrel of oil out of the ground if you in Saudi/Middle east. Even remember reading a while ago some fields in Libya had production costs of ~$2 per barrel :ehh:

At the end of the day you the consumer eat the cost of rising prices but on the other hand more jobs are created in house. Pick your poison.

There's a lot of negative propaganda about the Saudis that you have to carefully swift through. Obviously the other middle eastern countries aren't too happy that they basically have USA and Britain by the balls at their mercy feeding off their oil because these billionaire capitalists can't help themselves. In turn the Saudis have developed their country and are literally building infrastructure from the desert at a rate in which we have only seen China be able to do. Now that the other middle eastern countries are attacking them they want to go public with Saudi Aramco worth an estimated 2 trillion that's a perfect strategy to have other countries get a piece of the pie and pretty much be forced to protect their investment.
