Just for info....Saudi Arabia has threatened to raise oil to $200 a barrel if the U.S. sanctions Saudi Arabia over the murder of the American Journalist in the Saudi Embassy in Turkey..........IF that happens gas will hit about $8.00 or more a gallon....it could easily crash the economy, markets, and dollar......We all know that at some point these things will happen.....this could be the hinge pin.....key word.....IF.......just saying wise men see evil coming and they prepare for it....

Note....Congress has said they WILL ACT if Saudi Arabia is guilty...

I have never thought that the US was hostage to Arab oil prices. We have our own oil, yet choose to import oil. In the long run, what does this mean? We are using up others oil and always have our oil to use when push comes to shove.

It all depends on if this situation merits going there.

The house of cards (US and world economy) is so fragile that it will not take much for it to crash.
Only a foolish man will not see this and be prepared.

The question is ---
Can our oil be put into the pipe line fast enough to stop a crash?
I doubt it.

S.A. doesnt control oil prices. OPEC can cut production if it chooses (SA is only one member of OPEC), but the price rise or drop is in the hands of the oil futures traders. A sharp cut in production would mean higher oil prices in the market but then they are helping the US oil industry because they will be raising US oil companies profits! That is why OPEC tried to lower the price of oil by not cutting production for a few years when they were trying to bankrupt the US oil industry. That strategy failed.

Most people do not know that most of our oil is exported to places like China to cover our debt that is owned by countries like China....it blows my mind that we can be one of the biggest producer of oil now and yet our fuel prices keep rising.......speaks volumes hey..

The real question i have is why is the USA and the leader of the USA consuming their time and efforts with the disappearance and probable death of one Saudi journalist... ???

Do people have any idea how many journalists in this world have been "disappeared" over recent history? Thousands..

So whats going on here ?

Why is it justifiable to send your foreign minister Pompao ( not sure at the moment what title call your foreign minister) across the globe taking days to get there have discussions and to return when there are so many other international issues of far greater importance then the disappearance of one journalist..

Things I am reading is that the guy was a Muslim Brotherhood member, so I gotta ask, "Isn't that a good thing he gone?"

I was puzzled and had to google 'why kill Kashoogi?' - seems he's just a bit player in the opposition field of the Saudi leader. Looks like an abduction gone wrong...to be taken back to S.A. for a bit of 're-education'. Overkill to say the least - no pun intended.

The 'clean up' crew a la Pulp Fiction is a real mind bender tho.

Maybe he was about to spill on the Huma Abedin/Muslim Brotherhood connection and had to be silenced. Maybe Hillary got him. Just another of a long line of Arkancides.

They used to, but now the US is the biggest oil producer. The price of a barrel is dependent on inventory levels vs. production levels. OPEC used to be the biggest factor in oil prices but now US inventory and production is a big factor to commodities traders who invest in oil futures. I've been following oil and the stock market for over a decade.

Well no ... Not a good thing for an enemy of God to die as an enemy of God...

If a Christian dies then it is a blessing to them.. They are from then on with the LORD..
Where is the muslim of the muslim brotherhood after he dies??? That's right in Hell...

They are also an enemy of America . . . secret combatives. Too bad that a person's choices cause them an eternity in hell, but it IS their choice. They think that their Allah is bigger than the God of the Bible. They're wrong.

If we had these concerns on the battlefield we would all be wiped out because we don't want our enemies to go to hell, so we hesitate firing on them until we can give them a Gospel tract. Not good.
