#4 Moreover, Saudi Arabia seems to differ over whether Obama is using the new nuclear deal with Tehran to deliberately try to shift the United States from the Saudi side to the Iranian side in the grand, regional struggle or if he is allowing it to happen unintentionally. The more charitable Saudi position is the former, because that suggests that Obama at least understands what he is doing, even if they think it a mistake and a betrayal. The latter view, for Saudis, sees him as a virtual imbecile who is destroying the Middle East without any understanding or recognition.

no reason it can't be both

#5 ...Let them EAT their oil. They've had this coming for a very, very long time, and I have no compassion for them whatsoever.

#6 This is all another Germany v. USSR or Iraq v, Iran.

All sides suck and we should only get involved enough to keep the fur flying and away from us.

#9 Still wondering what Russia's grand plan is here.

Is it gas pipelines or $200/B oil as Saudi burns.

Interesting times.
