LTC Orlando Illi - most of the oil workers here in Texas are waiting for the other shoe to drop and repeat what carter did to us. Driving Cadillacs and food shopping with food stamps

LTC (Join to see) - OPEC is as afraid of American and Canadian oil reserves; as well they should be. OPEC politicized oil production and when they drove the price per barrel high enough to make shale oil profitable - the bottom fell out. Law of unintended consequences and the U.S. Oil industry is very grateful for the assistance

That is why, when oil prices tanked and all the OPEC countries all called for reduction, Saudi Arabia would not cut, they were hoping that if oil hit low enough U.S. companies would fold and stop producing. But it did not work, plus it hurt Iran, and Saudi Arabia was willing to take the hit if Iran suffered.

And Russia... post-Soviet Russia is essentially an oil-based economy... explains the restiveness around Ukraine/Crimea and (eastern) Syria

It's called supply and demand; every oil producing country has done this at one point or another.
