Putin is in trouble because of falling oil prices.
Oil prices are falling because the Saudi’s want to shut down US fracking.
Obama was against US fracking from the beginning and if he had gotten his way completely, there would be no reason for the Saudi’s to lower the price of oil.
The whole game was played so far over Obama’s head that he’s like a toddler on the sidelines of an NFL game thinking the crowd is cheering for him.
Of course, since he is the recipient of an affirmative action nobel peace prize, he can, to a certain extent, be forgiven his colossal ignorance of the forces involved.
The Saudis are bringing the price down to hurt Iran, which like Russia needs the higher prices. It’s also dinging up the Venezuelans too... which is a country which has embraced Iran and Hezbollah.
