Trump is unsettled by blood. For all his faults, he’s a thief, not a killer.

because the U.S is bitch to the Saudi Crown

Trump should just push the button and nuke everything

Us should just say you guys go in to Iran and we will protect your assets.

According to my sources, tomorrow morning.

Not all of us are as keen on dying as you. If you want to die, nobody’s stopping you from taking proactive measures.

from what i know trump gives help to saudis to undermine iran

sends help to israel to undermine Palestinians

Trump authorizes release of oil from strategic petroleum reserve after Saudi attacks.

Everyone should be asking why we are flooding the market with cheap oil when there is already a glut of oil and low prices. West Texas Crude is only 60 dollars a barrel and the whole industry in USA has been hemorrhaging jobs since 2015.

When it best helps dumpy's flagging re-election campaign.

oilandgas360.com/opec-slides-closer-to-collapse-as-an-oil-glut-overpowers-the-oil-price/

Oil prices around their current level are already testing the finances of most Opec members who need a price close to $70 a barrel just to balance their budgets.

But to get back to $70/bbl from the current $55/bbl one of two things needs to happen. Either there is a surge in demand, which is unlikely, or a meaningful cut in supply from Opec members who are already under financial pressure.

So what the fuck is up, why is Trump trying to screw the industry?

No. He turned a 1 million dollar loan after spending 15 years working for daddy and losing his dad money fairly consistently, a situation which, had he been your average person working with his own money, would have left him a penniless hobo, into a few million, then started haemorrhaging money from his own businesses, got billions of investment from daddy and finally hired some people who could run his businesses better than he could.

or so the haters keep saying without proof.

Let me play with someone else's money for 15 years, lose most of it, still get a million dollar load from him because he's my dad, start losing money from my businesses and get propped up by him to the tune tens of millions.

It’s not hard to do when you inherit 500 million. You act like he created all his wealth from nothing. He didn’t. You fucking moron. Gates did though. And so did Buffett. Neither of whom like Trump.

What I think, because you want the opinion of some non-expert random.

I think Russian agents paid Houthis to claim responsibility, and this is an international plot to A ) fix some of Russia's economy by raising oil futures and B ) force Iran vs "the West" conflict to a breaking point so Russia can swoop in and look like Iran's savior.

Who benefits the most from higher priced oil? Russia is close to the top of that list. Who benefits the most if the USA clobbers Iran. Again, Russia.

It's so cut and dry in my mind, I have trouble seeing it any other way.

Agreed. Theres 4 or 5 countries tightly packed over there just ready to be glassed

I know Trump is not as rich as he would like people to believe because he doesn't have a mega yacht. That is the gold standard for the ultra wealthy. He had a yacht years ago and it was fairly small, and he sold it during a financial meltdown - probably his casino debacle - and never got another one. His yacht at the time was bought from a Saudi and extremely undervalued, and is now the 80th in size in size rankings. Those rankings are extremely important to Trump, and he quickly realized how expensive it is to own and maintain a yacht, so he sold it in 1991 (his first bankruptcy) and never bought another.

Why does anyone care or follow orders from little boys with too much power fighting each other. Let them go there and fight for their precious oil themselves. People from other nations are not our enemies. Our leaders are.

The big problem with the oil argument is, we don't need it. We have tons and tons of oil. We keep fucking over our allies (especially in this administration) but keep doing the dirty work of foreign powers. We are not part of OPEC, and it should not matter to us how expensive OPEC oil is. Let them sell it to Africa and China for whatever the market says it's worth. If they can't sell it for a profit, then I guess their one-horse economy is fucked.

How much oil does America produce annually?

More than we need. We're a net surplus producer. America is considered potentially energy independent, but we import it to maintain strategic reserves. The national reserves are not in big containers out in Texas somewhere, they're tapped and capped and left in the ground. Plus, we have the big controversial pipelines running from Canada to the gulf, which we could buy unlimited oil from. We export LNG. The problem we have is, the big honchos that move in and out of government positions, like Dick Cheney and Rex Tillerson are the heads of multinational corporations, and those corporations operate in ways that are not US-centric.

>More than we need.
A number please, and a source. I didn't ask for your analysis of whether what we produce is enough, I asked how much we produce. No value judgements please.

Just looked this up, US hit a peak in April of 12 million barrels per day production.

Meanwhile last estimate for barrels per day consumed in the US is over 19 million.

So you are HILARIOUSLY misinformed.

Key word is net. Go back to school.

Here's another lesson in capitalism (no charge)

Drain the ME dry of oil (while keeping shale reserves) and it returns to dust.

Thanks for playing.

Also, see
It would be short-sighted and idiotic to not buy oil on global markets while it is still cheap and plentiful while maintaining reserves.

Are you this obtuse on every issue?

>US is NOT producing more than it needs.
>He never said it was.
Wrong
>More than we need

Which we are not.

Stop defending a dead argument.

If I buy 10 oranges and produce 8 oranges while consuming 14 oranges and selling 2 oranges. What am I?

A net producer. Free lesson.

Stop pretending you understand language and economics. Shouldn't you be in school? Most 8 years olds are.

If you produce (self generate) less than you consume, you are NOT a 'net producer', you are a 'net exporter', yes, but not a producer. Free lesson.

Wow, this makes my source 100% accurate. They too said tomorrow morning and that you’re a faggot

You do realize that the U.S. puts production into the strategic reserve, right?

Actually net producer means the value of production exceeds the value of imports. It has NOTHING to do with actual volume.

Another free lesson.

Net (again) is the operative word. (not total)

I do. That changes nothing. You make 12 of something, and you consume 29 of that something, you are not self sufficient, you do not make 'more than you need', you will if you sit back and let them bomb the shit out of each other, not last indefinitely on strategic reserves, which is why, going back to the question that this retard asked right at the beginning, we care about those
>little boys with too much power fighting each other
and elect to get involved rather than
>Let them go there and fight for their precious oil themselves.

Which is why when this other retard claimed we don't need it, and that we should let them do what they like and not involve ourselves, I had to ask the question
>How much oil does America produce annually?

The answer?

Less than we consume.

Which is why they are retards, I was right all along, and you guys are backing a dead argument.

So no, , net is not the operative word in this topic, total is.

I feel like this is a perfect time to post spider-man pointing to himself who is also pointing to to other spider-man.

But oil is the only major source of revenue for the OPEC, whereas the US doesn't rely on oil sales for financing the government.

>Actually net producer means
Lol please, show me your source for that definition because as far as I can tell you are pulling that out your ass.

Sincerely
A bystander who wants to watch as you refuse to back your bullshit up and spiral into kekworthy backtracking.

Go look it up. I said we're a net surplus producer.

He did. The us does not produce a surplus, it purchases a surplus. In spite of you retards claiming they are one and the same thing, there are clear differences to the meaning of the two phrases. You were incorrect. US does not produce more than it needs.

Go look that up brainlet.

Right, because we import. We are a net surplus producer. We have the capability of being completely self-sufficient. This is why everyone was screaming bloody murder when gas hit $4 a few years back, because it didn't have to be. But we keep the Strategic Oil Reserves because if we go to war, we might need it. So it's more strategic to import it. Look up the barrels of oil that geologists have determined untapped. Its many billions under the Colorado shale, the gulf, Alaska. We tap and cap way more wells than we activate.

>The us does not produce a surplus, it purchases a surplus.
We are tapping and capping wells all the time. Other countries don't really do that. Those capped wells are considered "production capable". We can stop importing any time we want, and have been able to since the 90s. This is all the result of the gas crunch of the 70s, and the lesson we leaned of the intervention of Japan's oil pre-ww2. In case you don't know, thats why Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. We fucked with their oil supply.

Holy shit.

There are two of us.

Thank you.

>We have the capability of being completely self-sufficient.
No we do not.

37 minutes timestamp this!

>We can stop importing any time we want
And after a while we would be forced to use the capped wells, but the issue here is that we won't have the infrastructure to produce more than we already do because the consumption is after refinement and refinement is a bottleneck in the US. We will never be able to increase refinement to meet demand without making the cost skyrocket, which is why we involve ourselves with OPEC; it is THAT MUCH more cost effective to get involved in wars than it is to try and become self reliant.

And so, you fucking idiots can stop defending the idiotic notion that we can afford to just leave the desert nigs to play who can blow each other up hardest in their sandpit.

>No we do not.
We certainly do. Especially when you add all energy production together. We produce all sorts of energy, not just oil. We produce Nat Gas, make it into LNG, plus our wind and solar potential. When you measure everything in BTU's we create so much energy, it's fucking crazy. But forget that for a minute.
> As of January 2015, estimates varied on the break-even oil price for drilling Bakken wells. The North Dakota Department of Natural Resources estimated overall break-even to be just below US$40 per barrel. An analyst for Wood McKenzie said that the overall break-even price was US$62/barrel, but in high-productivity areas such as Sanish Field and Parshall Oil Field, the break-even price was US$38-US$40 per barrel.[14]
Just the Bakken fields have enough to keep us rolling in oil for fifty years. The break even price mentioned means every penny above $40 per barrel is profit. Right now it's $55 for imported crude. Explain that one. Because the profit is not high enough for the investors, they're planning on either emergency situations, or Peak Oil being way higher. (which it will be)

Hope you learned something today.

The drop in Saudi production is temporary. Trump is doing the right thing by selling oil reserves now when the price is high and refilling in a few months when price goes back down.

We refine imported oil, you fucking dunce. Of course refinement is a bottleneck. It doesn't matter where you get it, we still have to refine it. Every juncture is a bottleneck. The distance it travels on ships and trucks is a bottleneck, too. Thats why the price is different in various parts of the country. Distance from the refinery.

You're a real retard, you know that? Saying war is easier than building a fucking extra refinery. Who the fuck do you think built the foreign refineries? We fucking did. You think those fucking morons can build refineries better than Haliburton? They cost billions, war costs trillions. We don't build them *here* because refineries have an expected life, and everyone knows they'll never reach that lifespan, because technology will make them obsolete sooner than most people in the biz want to admit. If oil was the real future, we'd be building more domestic refineries right now. Investors know this, and because of that, won't invest.

This would all be perfectly valid however were we to tap the Bakken fields with the fury of a thousand suns we would not be able to harness it because refinement is still a bottleneck just as said.

Given that you have failed to cite any source for your whacko definition of 'net producer', I've learned that you like avoiding backing up your bullshit.

You're actually deluded. Most refineries in the middle East were built by the Saudis and the UAE, not us. They cost billions, yes, but saying that war costs trillions is retarded. The war in Iraq lasted 8 years and didn't even coat 1 trillion. Our involvement with OPEC nations does not cost us close to that budget.
