so far the oil market is not responding.
i think that the REACTION of the US is probably more troublesome than the actual attack.

"Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!" I would prefer there be solid evidence rather a "reason to believe" we know. |

The President of the United States well, good. he is not echoing Pompeio (sic). the rest of the world already knows who is at fault, incidentally. they took credit for the attacks, and this is known behavior from them. I see Zero reason to doubt them. but Pompeio does.

The globalists are getting desperate. They're likely to stage more destabilizing "events" like this one. ARAMCO is NOT open to this kind of attack-- unless they want to be...

So much for the proposed Saudi Aramoco proposed stock issue to the world ........wondering how this affects the Saudi Nationalists who have backed Al Queada over the decades....money might dry up.
There are about five different major international stories that are affected by this and world economies are number one.
Getting off the oil industrial complex to renewables just got enother majpr boost.

who are you quoting there, bills? The President of the United States POTUS keeps waffling, as usual.
Now he is claiming he never said he would negotiate with Iran, when actually he said three times in the recent past, on video, that he would negotiate with them without preconditions - and this was repeated by two of his senior staff members.
So good to know, in these troubled times, that there is a steady, thoughtful hand on the rudder of our nation.

Is it that President Trump is going to destroy them if they don't stop him? If that is the case, wouldn't it be easier to just take him out? Granted we would all know that they caused the "heart attack" but what could we do after the fact. |

I’m sorry. Good? yeah. Pompeo is insisting it is Iran. Trump is expressing doubts about that (apparently).
I should have said GREAT.

President Donald Trump said Monday he’s in no rush to respond to a coordinated attack that hit Saudi Arabia’s oil industry over the weekend.
...
The most recent comment from Trump contrasts his attitude expressed on Sunday when he said in a tweet the U.S. is “locked and loaded” after the attacks on Saudi’s oil supply. link I like that: "contrasts". Why couldn't he have just come out on Sunday saying he wasn't going to do anything? Or just not said anything at all?
FWIW, I have no problem with the US saying it isn't our problem and we're not attacking anyone. |

Do they have news related price gouging in your area, actual cost, lag time, being what it is ? I paid $2.11 last week for regular I paid $2.11 this morning for regular. Don't believe it ? Look up the pump price of regular, for Casey's, in Mountain Home, Arkansas. If I was going to the far side of town, Wal-Mart is at $2.06 I have to ask, what's with the high prices of retail gas in your area ? RBOB futures have been hovering in the $1.50 to $1.60 range, for weeks now. |

During an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said it was "important" that Donald Trump is not the kind of president who studies evidence that could impact key decisions like launching military strikes. She made her comment while discussing the possibility of military strikes against Iran.
"It's so important to have a president who isn't a typical politician," Conway said. "Because he and his team don't sit around and say, 'Well, let's study it. Let's have a commission about it.' Secretary Pompeo went right out there and pointed the finger at the aggressor here, the Iranian regime."
One of the dumbest things I have ever heard to come out of the White House. "Shoot first, study the issue later."
What can possibly go wrong?

She's promoting Trump as a take action kind of guy, not someone to get a problem studied for years and then do nothing about it. She doesn't mean to say that he isn't informed at all (though he isn't). |
