1. They have nearly reached the endgame of their coup.

Mobsters win!!

Saudi, Assad, Vlad, Bibi & Trump are within a hair width of having what they came for.

O.I.L
It has always been about the control of Oil.

2. Iran does not have more oil than Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi's produce 10,461,000 barrels a day and Iran produces 3,9991,000 barrels a day. Saudi oil reserves are 266,600 million barrels and Iran has 157,800 million barrels.

6. Production yes. Oil in the ground......questionable

Saudi Arabia is moving its economy away from oil.

Over at Reuters, John Kemp uses the data to take a look at Saudi Arabia, long thought to have a vast and seemingly endless pool of oil upon which to draw. He notes that the Saudi government suddenly upgraded its oil reserve estimates from 170 billion barrels in 1987 to 260 billion barrels in 1989.

Since then, Saudi oil reserves have been unchanged for more than 25 years at 260 billion barrels. As Kemp wryly puts it, "If the government data is accurate, the kingdom has managed the remarkable feat of exactly replacing each produced barrel with new discoveries or increased e

stimates of the amount recoverable from existing fields."

There is a volcano of threatened authoritarian powers about to blow up, or so it feels like.

Too much tension in the air, tension being an authoritarian tool.

3. The jump in Crude Price

is starting to show up in our local economy. If it is showing here,can not imagine the effects in Rural Areas. Not many households can afford a $50 dollar or more hit to their budgets,just for fuel costs.

4. Been a bit over $3 gal here for a couple of weeks. Housing costs skyrocketed

5. We have had $3 dollar plus fuel

since December.

The Landlords here in the Valley that have Properties on the outer edges are seeing the 2007 effect taking hold. Rents spiked last fall,now the Brokers are nervous .

8. They've been six months from a bomb since 1992

It's a load.
A distraction.

11. I agree. One of the link d articles shows Iran's nuclear history

Nety..... wants US to bomb Iran. Didn't McCain sing the same tu e?

9. If you group the Arab shi'a provinces of Iraq and Iran together, it's damn close to the KSA.

Basra province of Iraq and the Khuzestan province of Iran together are a good chunk of the world’s proven reserves.

The oil rich Eastern province of the KSA is majority Arab Shi’a as well.

It has always been a wet dream of the neocons to break Khuzestan away from Iran. The MEK has been the vehicle for that gambit.

10. That's the take away I got from the dkos articles.

Thank you
