The Saudis are CUNTS!

"Global benchmark oil prices took their biggest single day plunge in 30 years on Monday after Saudi Arabia said it would increase oil production even as global demand has slumped in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

The outbreak had already hit oil prices as the circulation of people and goods around the world has slowed dramatically amid curbs imposed in an effort to slow the spread of the virus

With demand already falling like crazy, the timing of this is horrible,” said Jim Krane, fellow at Rice University’s Baker Institute of Public Policy in Houston. “It’s a lot of oil with no place to go.”

Bad for stockholders, good for motorists

What's the point of cheap gas when half of the population are too obese to move their fat asses?

sounds good to me!

I'm a bit puzzled by this move; the Saudis are tight with Dump after - among other things, letting them dismember a journalist on US soil - so the fact that the did something to help disrupt the US economy when their Beloved Leader is on the ropes is a bit confusing.

MBS is too young and inexperienced, impulsive, and erratic.

Flex to show whose top dog now?

Idk maybe just to move the stuff?

Saudis are barbaric tribesmen whose monarchy goes back only to the 1930s. The rest of the Arab Islamic world consider them boors who struck oil. .

It's bad for Pooty so it's fine with me.

Saudi Arabia, like every other country on Planet Earth, has domestic and foreign policy considerations beyond what the US. The world does not actually revolve around the US. In this case, Saudi Arabia is sending a message to Russia over an OPEC squabble.

I still think that MBS will be assassinated when his dad dies. What he's doing is bad for the world and bad for the US, yes, but it also bad for the Saudi royals and they are ruthless.

Good for the Saudis! These are Trumps very close friends, let him sort this out and let the oil men of Texas lose some cash while they wait!

The Saudis are a bunch of low lifes walking around on the sand.

The US discovered the oil, OP, not the Saudis

The Saudis are also responsible for 9/11. I hope they all die.

Saudis are Mr. Trump's good friends, and Jared Kushner's too. Jared can sort it all out now.

Anyone who has worked with people from Saudi Arabia knows that the thread title applies.

We should have invaded Saudi not Iraq, put all the top royalty (males) in Guantanamo, and established a puppet state led by women.

Jared and Ivanka love Bin Douche Bag. Let them eat cake together.

R5, much as I hate the Saudis and what they did, they didn’t do it on America soil if you’re talking about Jamal Khashoggi. They did it in the Saudi consulate in Turkey.

[quote]they didn’t do it on America soil

No, that was just the 3000 people they killed.

This is designed by the Saudis to hurt Russia. Everyone on this board has spent the last four years wanting to hurt Russia. Therefore, shouldn't this be a situation of the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

Your friends don't execute you because you have a dick and like dick.

R21 Yeah but Russia is no better.

Where is Jared K. to explain this all to us?

Yes, technically speaking, the Saudis didn't kill on American soil so as not to involve law enforcement & kindly did in the confines of an embassy, but there seems to be ample evidence that the Dump Admin & evil wax doll Jared gave the whole thing a greenlight - and yes, countries act on their own self interest that are not necessarily consistent with those of the US, HOWEVER, it's hard to argue that the Saudis will ever find a more friendly administration than Dump & Co. (I think even W might've put his foot down about brutally murdering journalists), so it just seems contrary to their interests to jeopardize the US economy, thereby undermining the election chances of the Big Orange Turd, since gas prices are central to the US economy.

Strategically - not shit-stirring, really - what do you suppose Obama would have done if he was President at the time Khashoggi was murdered?

I realize Trump helped the Saudis get the reporter and Obama would never have done that, but what would he have done?

Drones? Embargoes?

It was a gruesome murder and a fuck you to the US honoring journalists.

I just paid 1.76 gal and I'm liking it.

Buy a Tesla.

Two huge cunts, Saudis and Putin. Tramp's best friends....or Gerard's best friends. Doesn't matter.

r22 I think you're thinking of Chechnya specifically

Fair point R25 - and an honest answer to your question is that Obama - or any other president - wouldn't do much so long as the US economy is tied to the availability of (relatively) cheap oil.

R29 Chechnya is horrible but really the entire nation of Russia is anti-gay.
