Here we go...

Drones attacked the world’s largest oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia and a major oilfield operated by Saudi Aramco early on Saturday, the kingdom’s interior ministry said, sparking a huge fire at a processor vital to global energy supplies.

He said the rebels had sent 10 drones to attack the Abqaiq oil processing facility and the Khurais oil field. He said attacks against the kingdom would get worse if the war in Yemen continued.

This is strange. My buddy told me yesterday morning that he has taken a new job in VA with a company that detects and destroys drones. He said oil refineries and the like are huge targets for drone attacks. Guess he was right.

The Saudis would false flag their own damn oil fields if it would jumpstart the price of oil.

Iranians demanding their houthi friends to cause instability again. Iran is on verge of collapse with the maximum pressure sanction campaign taking place. They are either going to show up to the table or ignite a sh*tstorm like you’ve never seen.

Aren’t they responsible for 9/11? Maybe we’ll go help them out

Iran is not on the verge of collapse. They’ve been sanctioned constantly since the Islamic revolution and have survived. They are hurting for sure and have been for some time. But to say they are on the verge of collapse is inaccurate.

You must not of heard 17 of 18 of their government pension funds are in the red. The sanctions in place now are the worst they’ve ever had. Different levers have been pulled specifically around the ayatollahs black market financial slush fund the trump admin found and cutoff.

I don’t doubt that they are hurting but correlating declining pension funds to collapse is a bit of a reach. Get back to me when massive protests in Tehran start due to the declining pension funds and a violent crackdown on dissent begins like Syria.

Not to go Poli board but it is hilarious to those of us old enough to remember the late 70’ and early 80’s when the Saudis and big oil told everyone we would run out of oil in 20 years. Now we are producing more domestically than in the ME and they are fighting to up production as prices fall. The “shortage” was almost as big a hoax / marketing exercise as Global Warming / Climate Change.
