Continuing conflict in Middle East

[Keith_Indy]

Drone attacks against Saudi oil fields.
President Trump just announced he's releasing some of our strategic oil reserves.
Lot's of saber rattling...

Opening gambit of the next stage of war in the Middle East?

Don't know why he wants to do this when we are exporting oil. Just gives the Dems another chance to trash him.

With all the money the Arabs have why should we spend time and treasure in their defense. I don’t believe Saudi Arabia is even part of NATO unless I’m mistaken.

We are supposedly net exporters of oil and gas now. We don’t NEED Saudi oil. What do we gain in furthering the conflict with Iran ? If we don’t like them or their policies just say so, nuk’em and be done with it.

There people,there religion, there problem. We supplied them with the equipment to deal with this kind of nonsense already. Let them deal with there own problems they created this mess by letting these nut cases run rampant. If we are going to be the worlds police force we should be paid well for it and none of the PC rules every one likes to impose. Go in and put it down hard and fast make people think long and hard before they start this nonsense again.

I would imagine that there's probably a great deal of money moving quietly around after this last mess. Arabs, Europe, Chinese, and US all have a stake in Saudi energy production. Saudi air defense will get tightened up. Maybe "Saudi" cruise missiles will hit some places in Iran.

When Iran tests it's first nuke the Saudi's will buy one from somebody and maybe the next chapter is this 1000 year old family squabble will be written by the death of millions who never had a stake in it. Leadership sucks all over the world.

Maybe Iran has figured out that Saudi Arabia is a softer target than their hated Israel.

Sell you glass animals now while demand is high and supply is low. Soon the sandbox will become a glass menagerie with an overabundance of glassware.
