There's a troll in every channel
They're Socialist.
In practice and theory.

Socialism is a matter of economics. Communism is a total societal thing. We're not comparing the same things.
Iran attacking the Saudis is a possibility, but I'm 90% sure Iran wasn't responsible.
fine and well, its still splitting hairs
Who do we think it is ?
Do we know?
Ik Yemen rebel’s claimed responsibility
Personally, I think it was an internal strike.
Iran has been surrounding Saudi Arabia since the 1980s by way of infiltrating areas, and providing weapons, strategies, and cash. Even if they didn't do it, they supplied the means to carry out the attack.
Saudis doing it.
It isn't in the Saudi's interest to do it. The repairs to infrastructure far exceed the upward movement in oil prices.
It is in the Saudis interest because of the casus belli against Iran
I know where you're going, but it doesn't make financial sense. I lived in Bahrain for 3 years, and trust me, I don't trust Saudis. They're professional speakers from both sides of their mouths.
*I'm not sure about this* but it could provide the Saudis internal justification to do something domestically
I can too..
They think with money first.
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
