We should just go take the oil...
The OPEC Monopoly must remember that gas prices are up & they are doing little to help. If anything, they are driving prices higher as the United States defends many of their members for very little $’s. This must be a two way street. REDUCE PRICING NOW!

Too bad these oil-producing countries aren't the tiny size of Grenada, then maybe, just maybe, the US military might succeed in "taking the oil" :(

We don't have enough money, and I hear Franko has a pile. We should just go take it from him.
Matt doesn't realise that the US already has the oil! He's living in this fantasy world in which the evil Arabs are selling oil rather than giving it away. The reality is that the evil Arab regimes the US supports are essentially giving their resources to the US for nothing: the US keeps the regimes in place and they recycle the money back to US aerospace and Wall Street. Everyone knows this except Matt, who prefers fantasy to reality. Even when the state department, military and intelligence agencies say X, Matt says Y.
Noah, I'll meet you at Baltimore airport. We'll pick up some guns on the way to Matt's house. For poetic justice to be done, we should pick up some cans of petrol too. Guns and petrol, Matt's favourite things in life and the last things he'll see before he meets the great oil man and weapons engineer in the sky! I can't wait to find out if he has a silly flag lapel and bumper stickers proclaiming Jesus. We'll find out soon enough. 'Murica. Fuck. Yeah!
“he US keeps the regimes in place and they recycle the money back to US aerospace and Wall Street.”
But at what terms?
“bumper stickers ”
The only bumper sticker I have on the back of my Prius says “up yours OPEC”....
Great to see China now lending USDs to Venezuela... I’d like to see these loan terms....

Wonder what happens if Venezuela reneges????
It's been said "A man can fail many times but he isn't a failure until he blames someone else."
So how is it that a country as blessed as the US in countless ways (The God of the Bible is faithful even when we are not) should ever need to steal?
“should ever need to steal?”
It’s not stealing it’s “getting even!” as in “eye for an eye” in your OT....
Trump has said this is his favorite directive from the Hebrew Sciptures...
If only you did have a Prius rather than that gas guzzling behemoth! That way you really would be a patriot rather than an anti-American automaton controlled by Washington, demanding endless war, an economy centred on the military-industrial complex and Wall Street criminals. A bumper sticker that says "up yours OPEC" means "up yours Washington/Empire".
"But at what terms?" The terms are set by Washington, the capo dei capi. Where do you think all those Abrams tanks and fighter-bombers come from? What are all those US intelligence agents doing helping Salafi regimes and training jihadis? They come from Washington in oder to keep hated Salafi jihadi regimes from being overthrown, to spread Salafi jihadi terrorism and overthrow nationalist regimes like Libya, Syria and Yemen to name but a few. Congratulations on this Salafi jihadi promotion. Truly evil. It always amazes me that the most "patriotic" Americans are the ones who hate their country the most, are gung-ho in aiding the terrorists who murdered 3000 of their own citizens and keep a financial and military complex going that fleeces their own country. But US nationalist propaganda is pretty amazing. Watching C-Span on Sunday's, I've realised that even the most "liberal democrat" is a deranged warmonger: Bernie's record was little different to John McCain; and the typical liberal NYT devotee is far more dangerous than the typical reader of the American Conservative, which I've found to be rather good.
Given that the weapons and intelligence to keep the regimes in place only come from Washington, it is clear that Washington sets the terms, as can be gauged from reading White House, State Department, Pentagon, NSA, CIA and other agencies declassified documents, as well as the on-the-record interviews of high ranking officials. No matter what they say, Matt doesn't accept it because it interferes with his "shining city on a hill" mythos that he is so deeply into. Rather than accepting that Washington is as depraved an entity as the European empires of yesteryear were, and far worse in its spheres of influence than the Soviets were in theirs, it is necessary, lest the nationalist brain implodes, that the fairytale and kindergarten civics class recounting of history and American exceptionalism continue unmolested. Amen.
Matt: "It’s not stealing it’s “getting even!” as in “eye for an eye” in your OT.... "
There's always a justification, isn't there? By definition, there is no such thing as stealing, just getting even. Anyway, what exactly would the US "getting even" for by taking the natural resources under someone else's territory? And surely other countries would have a far greater justification in stealing/appropriating the resources of the US?
Matt: "Trump has said this is his favorite directive from the Hebrew Sciptures.."
Like he knows any others! The man would have been stoned a thousand times had he truly respected the moral directives of the Old Testament. But then that is the way of the hypocrites.
“he US keeps the regimes in place and they recycle the money back to US aerospace and Wall Street.”
But at what terms?
Gunpoint?
"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" is not exactly about "getting even", actually.
This was the time of the introduction of the rule of law. The ancient scriptures imposed penalties that appear harsh but in the context of our time, they were often imposed in order to moderate the conventional behavior of that time. Retribution was uneven, and punishment was much worse than the offense. It was also introduced to end socially disruptive feuding that could go on literally for centuries.
“Retribution was uneven, and punishment was much worse than the offense.”
Don’t tell Trump!!!!
US policy has been, Kill one of us and we'll kill ten thousand of you for every one.
Of, if we want it, we will take it, and if you resist, we will kill you.
Not exactly even.
Wonder what happens if Venezuela reneges????
From what I can see from China's behavior, it depends on the conditions. They restructure debt and forgive some of it, if it suits their long term interests.
They aim at replacing the US as the dominant power over the long term and they bide their time.
"China aims at replacing the US as the dominant power over the long term and they bide their time."
Yes. China just needs to survive while the Western Empire continues its accelerating collapse.
The Empire is collapsing from internal greed and corruption. Bankers and financiers are using debt to suck so much human energy from society that there is less-and-less human energy to sustain the U.S. economy, and to sustain the USA as a nation. The more Americans the bankers suck dry, the more Americans are reduced living in tents by a riverside, with their minds focused on sheer survival. Eventually the house of cards must collapse.
Anybody who denies this is living in a dream word, and is helping to accelerate the collapse.
“Americans are reduced living in tents by a riverside”
Lol those are the illegals and it’s an upgrade for them...
About 554,000 people in the U.S. were homeless on any given night in 2017 — including nearly 58,000 families with children — meaning they didn't have a safe, permanent place to sleep.

Franko: we all know you're an idiot, you don't have to keep proving it every day.
