Dispite my nationality. I want nothing to do with the saudis. Detest them. So good riddance
@Hammond_of_Texas, this has nothing to do with your sentiments, as this is an OPEC orchestrated attack, likely with the backing of the Russian Federation.
This wreaks of Russian rat.
Whoever did it is a good boy.
Saudi Arabia is part of OPEC
A non-compliant member of OPEC.
One who doesn't stop pumping at the request of the Federation, unlike all the other members.
Ok
So, the oil war marches onward.
I'm also from a country that can happily pump its own sludge so. Meh
Sure, but this means recovery for various countries with nationalized oil industries, Venezuela for example, along with the Federation.
Ok
Rather buy russian oil than Saudi
The value of their exports will be artificially inflated, a result of the artificially created supply shortage.
Sabotage Venezuela's ops, too.
Venezuela is a joke
You're not the one buying, and we're not buying Saudi oil.
The US, my man.
Just where do you believe I reside?
I'm in FL.
A literal Florida man
Which headline was you?
We don't need to sabotage Venezuela's platforms, as they seem to be doing quite the job themselves.
They're not even doing that very well, though.
Just speed up the process a little.
What do you mean? They've eliminated incentives to work, facing mass-starvation and economic collapse, while replacing executives with politicians who fire the scentists specializing in their preoccupation. No resource is allocated efficiently, and they don't have enough revenue to reinvest into their platforms.
They're destroying their industries, themselves.
Lol.
Their infrastructure is literally blowing up and falling apart.
Yeah, but it's taking ages.
Fucking collapse already, will you.
Lol.
I hear ya, but it was rather quick all things considered. Honestly, I expected a more protracted period of time.
Conversely, this supply shortage is going to delay the regime's collapse.
Not if you use that massive military budget to actually do something well for a change.
I'd prefer us not to be entangled in a conflict with a non-near peer actor, when near-peer threats are waging an all out non-linear conflict with our country. What we need to be doing is sending a naval fleet out to the so-called South "China" Sea, the South Korean Ocean if you will, to dismantle those artificial islands with a regional coalition.
Besides, the regime change is guaranteed. It'll happen, if we're patient. No point in exhausting ourselves over something that'll happen anyway.
Thats optimistic
