Oil will rocket to 80 and the market will crash 1000 points Monday, that why we are there.
What was the first foreign country Trump visited?
Holy shit if it's Alwaleed bin Talal
The market reaction heard among oil observers about the attacks on the Saudi facilities come down to one statement: this one is different.
It’s different because it was carried out by as many as 15 drones–estimated cost per drone, about $15,000, total, about $225,000 to send prices soaring–and because this relatively cheap investment in equipment resulted in Saudi Arabia being forced to cut its production in half.
In the wake of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks, the West has again asked itself what it can do to stop Islamic extremism -- while it is actively supporting Saudi Arabia, the world's principal proselytizer of Islamic extremism.
If it is truly interested in stopping terrorism, then, the U.S. and the rest of the West will heed Chomsky's advice. The U.S. will realize that there really is an easy way to stop terrorism: It will stop participating in it, and end its alliance with Saudi Arabia.
Soon Pygmies will be able to nuke us from orbit.
Sad to say, he is in the Saudis' pocket for sure.
Now Houthis send 10 and potentially disrupt a good part of global energy
But that would seem really stupid. The Iranians are not stupid.
And the worst thing is that his supporters don't have the balls to hold him accountable for anything. They just lie on their backs and get reamed with a big smile on their sad faces. It's pathetic
And who could have possibly foreseen that?
Now the claims are the drones were launched from Iran, not Yemen.

Yup, a vote for Trump is a vote in support for the same people who carried out 9/11
The other measure that Saudi is taking - which it has vehemently denied but OilPrice.com can confirm from various oil trading sources and from sources in the Iraq Oil Ministry – is looking to buy Iraq oil grades, which are close to the key export grades that Saudi ships to various destinations, including Asia. ...
“A number of the Iraqi grades are close in specifications to their Saudi counterparts, and part of this activity by Saudi to fill customer supply quotas for these grades is to make sure that the demand we are still seeing for such Iranian grades from Asia, but mainly China, is not boosted to make up for the shortfall from Saudi.,” a senior source who works closely with Iraq’s Oil Ministry told OilPrice.com.
The supreme irony, of course - as OilPrice.com has repeatedly underlined, and as many in the oil markets now know, although apparently not the Saudis - is that a cornerstone strategy used by Iran to circumvent current U.S. sanctions against it (as was also the case in the previous period of sanctions) is to rebrand its oil into Iraqi oil, which is extremely easily done, both at the massive and porous border between the two or via various pipeline and shipping routes.
It may well be, then, that Saudi Arabia ends up boosting the bank accounts of the very people that it thinks was behind the attacks on its own oil infrastructure, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps – a staunch and active supporter of Yemen’s Houthis - through its various oil-industry associated businesses by buying Iranian oil, albeit with the stickers changed on the barrels.
The Houthis’ military spokesman said in a statement that three “enemy military brigades had fallen” in the attack, which he said was launched 72 hours ago and supported by the group’s drone, missile and air defense units.
Houthi-run Al Masirah TV quoted the spokesman as saying the Iran-aligned movement had captured “thousands” of enemy troops, including many officers and soldiers of the Saudi army, as well as hundreds of armored vehicles.
The spokesman for a Saudi-led military coalition that has been battling the Houthi group for over four years in Yemen did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Reuters could not independently verify the claim.
Yemen's Houthi rebels on Sunday broadcast footage they said was of a major attack on Saudi Arabia in August that killed or wounded 500 soldiers with thousands of others surrendering.
Yahya Saree, a Houthi military spokesman, described an ambush on the Saudi forces that then developed into an "all-out" cross-border offensive that trapped the troops inside Saudi Arabia.
"More than 200 were killed in dozens of [missile and drone] strikes while trying to escape or surrender," Saree said.
The fighting took place in the southern region of Najran with video images aired showing armoured vehicles hit by blasts and surrendering soldiers.
Lol, a "terrorist attack"?
No. A terrorist attack is when random innocent people are deliberately murdered, like 18 Saudis and 1 Egyptian did on 9/11.
Missiles hitting the source of most terror funding is pretty much the opposite of terrorism.
