Falcon + 222 SK May 24, 2019 (edited) How much does US spend every year to assure Mideast oil flows to China, Asia, India, Europe ? * Have we forgotten how OPEC (Saudi, UAE) threatened to destroy US shale 2014 ? Went after US production 1970's , 1984-1985 , 1998-1999 ? * Have we forgotten how Saudi Arabia cut off all heavy oil shipments to US as part of recent production cuts to spite US refinery margins and US gasoline consumers ? * Have we forgotten how Saudi Arabia threatened to abandon the petrodollar ? * Have we forgotten how Saudi?UAE/OPEC threatened to destroy US Shale at CERRA WEEK dinner in Houston this year ? * Have we forgotten about the $200 Billion purchase agreement Trump signed with Saudis , that we have not seen a penny ? * Have we forgotten MBS ordered the butchering of Washington Post Journalist Khashoggi ?

BigJets + 87 JB May 24, 2019 Agreed. China and Europe need to pay; or figure it out their own damn self. USA could easily disrupt, as assist with this trade. Perhaps, we have been too generous with the latter..? Failing infrastructure is a real domestic problem. China and Europe should pay for secure shipping lanes... China especially, since they have become more adversary than, ‘true’, trading “partner”. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
