Middle East Remains Biggest Risk for Oil: Total CEO

[Marina Schwarz + 1,576]

Total’s CEO names his top risk for oil markets – and it’s not what you think

Setting aside the clickbait headline, I think the Middle East as a whole is getting ignored recently in favour of Venezuela, etc. And it is still -- and always will be -- a powder keg.

All the more reason for the U.S. military to slowly extract itself from the sand morass of the Middle East.

Agreed. Alas, presence means influence,  I guess, so it's not that easy.
