Possibly, do we know how much the attack would have cost them?

More than a spike in the price of oil is going to pay them.

"Donald Trump has said the US is “locked and loaded” and ready to respond to attacks on a petroleum processing facility in Saudi Arabia, as US officials said the evidence pointed to Iranian involvement."

Internally, they need the price of oil to go up over the long term.

The moment I read about the attack, I KNEW the Americans would say something like this.

meh. Says the man who called off an earlier attack. When will people realize that Trump works in propaganda.

everyone did. the saudis are our pimps, its not a secret

I don't trust a damn thing Trump says, until he actually does something, it's just bloviated dog whistling.

Iran and SA have been fighting a proxy war for years in the region. Of course oil infrastructure is going to be a target *on both sides.*

Yes they have. I've been in the navy watching it for years.

we've already illegally forced their oil exports to nearly zero

we want it to be zero proper, but europe and china aren't putting up with the Fed's horseshit

Hmm, the two facilities that were hit account for HALF of the kingdoms oil output

I'd say it was rather legal. 30 years of military action in the Middle East didn't cause oil to drop, but 5 years of fracking shut them down.

You may be right @allgoodguy

Sure SA has been product dumping because they know Iran has higher lifting costs.

@allgoodguy no, dude, it was a sanction order

recently

I really don't believe that.

As with everything from the middle east, it's just covered in conspiracy backed with two levels of back-consiracy.

These are the same people who started the 9-11 conspiracies.

>ending sanctions wavers
is the end of that headline, fuckin discord

ah, pardon me, this appears out of date, seeing waivers were renewed as of july

Yeah, I seen that when I clicked the link. We haven't looked to see if it was perhaps an American strike on Saudi Arabia to justify an increase arms sales, while simultaneously justifying an increased level of sanctions against Iran.

although its not specifying if said waivers were for export of oil or excess nuclear materials

I spent entirely too much time over there. I know exactly how their minds work.

plausible, we certainly have enough ordnance over there

Well...time to shower and go spend some of that GI Bill.

Thank you America.

oh, the debt forgiveness one?

No, the post 9-11 one.

Ah

well thank you, too

Have a great day you fucking Mad Lads

Honestly I still hold the view of fuck saudi arabia, they are not our friends, they are our drug dealers for a substance we already have in abundance.
