    5% of global supply taken out in strike.

    Abu Dhabi (CNN)Drone strikes on Saudi Arabian oil facilities have disrupted about half of the kingdom's oil capacity, or 5% of the daily global oil supply, people with knowledge of Saudi's oil operations told CNN Business.

    Yemen's Houthi rebels on Saturday took responsibility for the attacks, saying 10 drones targeted state-owned Saudi Aramco oil facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais, according to the Houthi-run Al-Masirah news agency.
    Five million barrels per day of crude production have been impacted after fires raged at the sites, one of them the world's largest oil production facility, people with knowledge of the kingdom's operations said. The latest OPEC figures from August 2019 put the total Saudi production at 9.8 million barrels per day.

    Inverted yield curve + falling business investment + soaring energy prices +trade war= recession

    The only thing keeping the economy moving has been consumer sentiment.

    Care to guess where that goes when gas prices double?

    Trump: US 'locked and loaded depending on verification' of attack on Saudi oil field

    Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump on Sunday evening tweeted that the US has "reason to believe that we know" who is responsible for an attack on a Saudi Arabian oil field and the country is "locked and loaded depending on verification" following the crippling strike.

    "Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!" Trump said.
    Trump's tweet, which appeared to raise the specter of a US military response, served to ratchet up tensions in a region already on edge after Saturday's audacious attack on the Saudi oil field.
    Trump used similar language in June when he announced he had called off an attack on Iran just as the US was " ed & loaded" to strike because he decided it would cause too many deaths for a proportionate response to Tehran's downing of a US drone.

    Saudi Arabia Says Iranian Weapons Were Used in Strikes on Oil Facilities
    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/16/w...saudi-oil.html

    ------------------------------------------------

    We have a lot of evidence that Saudi money has been part and parcel of Trump family business financing.

    American foreign policy has been unusually friendly to the Saudis, at Trumps behest, even going so far as to ignore bipartisan Congressional actions limiting support for their war in the wake of our "friends" murdering and dismembering a journalist in their embassy.

    You have ignored the implications of the mountains of conflicts of interest from Trump family business dealings, and now we stand on the precipice of a massive regional war on the Saudi's behalf.

    So Trash is compromised by his failed cash-starved, heavily indebted life, beholden to, AT LEAST, Pootin and the Saudis.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunnin...3Kruger_effect

    he Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence.[1]
    Where on the pyramid would you place your response here?

    I would not go to war with Iran on Saudi Arabia's behalf.

    Trump in his incompetence, ignorance, and outright corruption may do just that. My guess though is that his advisors are telling him what that would do to oil prices, which would hurt his re-election chances due to the pending recession.

    A re-election he must win to stay out of jail, as the statute of limitations for the obstruction of justice acts outlined in the Mueller report will not have run out when he leaves office in January 2021.

    What will be hit is much more likely to be Houthi targets, rather than Iran, regardless of what Trump has said. His only real concern is re-election.

    Before he was elected, President Donald Trump went on Twitter tirades against Saudi Arabia.

    In 2014, he was enraged that the oil-rich monarchy could not protect itself—and that America was defending the kingdom.

    “Have you been watching how Saudi Arabia has been taunting our VERY dumb political leaders to protect them from isis. Why aren’t they paying?” he tweeted.

    A few minutes later, he added,

    “Saudi Arabia should fight their own wars, which they won’t,

    or pay us an absolute fortune to protect them and their great wealth—$ trillion!”

    In 2015, three months before announcing his candidacy, Trump tweeted,

    “If Saudi Arabia, which has been making one billion dollars a day from oil,

    wants our help and protection,

    they must pay dearly! NO FREEBIES.”

    Like the "coalition of the billing" after the Gulf War, maybe Trash intends to charge the Saudis?

    Will The Best Ever Artful Deal Maker "make that deal" before shooting?

    Iranian cruise missiles are a lot different than "Houthi drones".

    Looks like we are faced with a massive escalation.
