It’s probably just me in my own ‘forecast’ but I can see ISIS or ISIL if you want to call it that is quite capable of cutting off the production of oil everywhere they go as a means of forcing the various middle east nations to capitulate to them.
But who in their right mind is going to rebuild their petroleum infrastructure for them? They don’t honor their contracts and businesses as well as governments are loath to operate without at least minimal chances of making a profit off of their ‘investments’.
It is truly disgusting that animals can still threaten the economy with the US awash in gas, oil and coal. 1973 didn’t wake us up. 1993 didn’t wake us up. And the worst attack since Pearl Harbor failed to snap us out of what now amounts to pure stupidity.
We are mere months away from conflagration or I don’t know anything.
Hopefully I don’t know anything.
No more American lives/blood and $’s wasted on the Opecker Princes.
Let them solve their Isis problem.
Might be time to start thinking about oil.
I think civilised countries can make it through a middle eastern supply cut without too much damage, but the middle east will be destroyed. And there would actually be a lot of benefits since a war there would collect jihadis there insteading of infiltrating us, and the Saudis would not have the cash to build mosques all over. I’d put up with inconvenience to see them sent back to the 7th century.
L stands for Levant.
The French, German, British and Dutch interests in the ME during and just after WWI essentially were divvied up among the 4 powers there, roughly falling around their concentrations of work. We know and use at least one company from that time now, with name recognition: Royal Dutch SHELL gasoline.
Notice that this setup predates the nation State of Israel.
Thus, we conclude that EVERYONE WHO USES ISIL instead of ISIS is physically and spiritually DENYING the State of Isreal’s existence.
Likewise, to use Daeish permits the enemy to name himself and so give him power.
