South coast OR
national Saudi oil company looking to go IPO. it's IPO price is heavily dependent on the price of oil, which is low right now. limited supply like that after an attack on one of it's site would drive the price of oil up. the Houthi's nor the Iranians did do this. 100% MBS's plan co-sponsored by Jared & Cheeto

Saudis are really annoying.

I met some cool ones but as a people . . . .kuh!

Lots of kaphas.

The oil money really messesed them up.

They are like the ugly rich girl who acts like she's hot.

No, you're not hot.

What we have so far.

............Saudi oil facilities attacked

Houthi rebels: "we did it and we'll do it again"

US: "Iran did it"

Iran: "no, we didn't do it"

Houthis: "Guys.....we're over here. We did it."

Iran: "Wasn't me"

US: "We're locked and loaded"

Houthis: "Dudes!"

Couple thoughts and observations, some may be conflicting...

- I have to admit that I do find it questionable that a rebel group has the hardware and training to fly armed drones into Saudi Air Space and precisely target an oil facility without the support of a larger nation.

- Isn't all of the evidence that Trump/Pompeo are using to point their fingers at Iran sourced from the same intelligence community that couldn't be trusted when they said Russia hacked the election? Why are we to believe them now?

There's definitely some support of a larger nation. Could feasibly be the US or Saudi Arabia itself
