There goes Ukraine

Action already in the Russian separatist area, it’s all just a matter of how far and how fast Russia will go.

Nice piece on 60 minutes tonight.

Rumor has it that gas may be $7 a gallon if Russia invades. The market has already been jumping with the threat. Supply is already short with OPEC slowing
production to artificially lower the supply inflating demand and then cost. Take 20% of the planets oil supply it is going to get ugly.

How much oil is North Dakota pumping these days? I thought they had enough to prop us up for decades?

I think they really slowed pumping when the prices were low. It wasnt cost effective, but with the prices skyrocketing I would bet they ratchet it up again.

US production is the highest it has ever been – not sure specifically about ND, but the most production is coming out of the Permian (west Texas).

A brief look at energy forecasts. If gas goes to $7/gal Ill personally go liberate an oilfield. Thank god for my Suzuki.

United States is the worlds largest energy producer, crude oil and natural gas combined. It is owned by private companies and not the government. 50% is exported mostly to Southeast Asia. You might want to invest in petroleum stocks hoping the dividends offset the higher price you’ll pay at the pump.

I read today that there is some good news on the oil front. Tensions have eased in Iran with the nuclear thing and they will be adding supply to the global market soon.

That’s some good news, Saudi Arabia is still refusing to up production. Biden has to get a little tough on them to rethink their production output.

Ha, like that is going to happen.

You would be surprised at how much we keep the Houthi rebels at bay in Yemen with military assistance to the Saudis.

Is Biden going to use his shouting voice? Otherwise I don’t think anything is going to happen with his whispering.

Saudi’s are lucky Mzzzzz Harris is busy keeping the Russians at bay in the Ukraine.

It’s global politics, I’m certain and have been for years there is nothing authentic in the news about the real issues these cronies are talking about behind closed doors. Nothing.

As far as I’m concerned you’re all arguing about chess pieces in a fake game they want you to see. Have fun with that.

Yes I’m sure the House of Saud is so grateful that tough guy former President is no longer in office. Don’t think any leader ever has been so tough on them.

Why does everything have to go back to orange man? Never even mentioned him. This is about our current president.

^If I were to grade the foreign relations component of the job of Presidency between Orange Creep and Senile Uncle Joe…I’d hand out x2 F’s. They both had/have plenty of issues that they couldn’t handle. Quit comparing them. Two turds no matter the size – both stink.

Neither of the two of them would walk across the street to help any IDO posters with a damn thing unprovoked either. People need to quit acting like they (and all politicians) give a $hit about people like us.

And I was simply comparing what the alternative would be had the election not been stolen….

I agree 10000%…I guess I’m just of the belief that if no one challenges a person’s opinions or position on an issue they have zero reason to reflect on that opinion or position.

Now having the intestinal fortitude to actually engage in such self reflection is probably hoping for to much I’m sure.

I disagree.
