"If he's a Republican, then he may address the American people and explain that our country has been attacked economically and this attack has done more damage to our country than the attacks of 9/11. He will be right. We were willing to pay a fair price for Middle Eastern oil but we can no longer allow the American people to be held hostage to unreasonably inflated oil prices. He will explain that he has no other choice but to send military forces into Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the Mideast to secure the oil fields that we discovered and developed. But it's more likely that he will promote other reasons to launch an attack that doesn't mention oil.
This will not be ignored by other Islamic countries which will join forces with the Saudis in retaliation against America. Iran and Syria will find reason to become involved if they aren't already. This will be real war with Islam over oil, and yes, winner takes all. Our survival as a nation will depend on it."
With articles like this click here, why worry about Seyyeds' war against Israel. There are plenty of mad comments from US, but this one takes the biscuit. People blame OPEC, but the oil cartel has actually failed, as its ministers have regularly said the price is too high. Iran actually is not selling its meagre 2.5 mln b/d sour oil, and is desperately looking for large storage vessels or VLCs. The problem is purely based on speculative trading on the oil contracts. In fact if there was a war, the price would crash, as the Seyyeds would be defeated, and the Straits of Hormuz would be safe. False fear pricing is a lot worse, than the actual reality.
