Somebody explain again why we didnt auction off Saudi oil fields to U.S. owned business.

The group said the decision was based on the “uncertainty that surrounds the global economic and oil market outlooks.” Saudi Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman stressed the cartel’s stated role as a guardian of stable energy markets.

Wouldn't pump oil from them even if we did take them. This is self inflicted.

Lowest reserve level since the '80s with WWII a possibility!
And Schumer & his Fellow Travellers STOPPED Trump from resupplying when oil was at a LOW.

Almost like there's a plan...

I imagine this is their way of trying to affect our election and not towards the Liberals/Democrats.

We are doing this to ourselves. I won't blame the Saudis for making money offer our stupidity. Most of us would do the same if it means a big pay day. Not their fault.

Oh for the days of mean tweets!! Trump nearly filled the SOR at $23/barrel after driving the global price down by making us an energy independent/net exporter of energy. He told Venezuela, Russia and Saudi to keep their oil. Oil filed workers were busting their butts working and making good money. Keystone was almost online and nordstream 2 was not. Then joey gets elected by the media and we now have what we have.

Yet there are still ABSOLUTE MORONS on this site that think it will be a bad idea to get rid of joey at the victory of Trump.

Gas jumped from 3.21 to 3.49 yesterday.

Don't know about y'all but my monthly expendable income has dried up. Christmas is gonna be small this year.

But remember, orange man bad!!

I wish I understood the Petrodollar system and OPEC better. A friend of mine that worked for Saudi Aramco told me that the US has to import oil from the middle east because nearly all of our refineries here in the US can only refine middle east oil into products, and Not west Texas Brent crude or many other oils found here in the US. Said that if we wanted to refine our own oil, then most of our refineries would have to be totally overhauled. So we have all this oil and natural gas here in Texas and most of it is piped across the state to the Gulf of Mexico and put on a boat for who knows where?

I don't know if this is true or not, but if it is it makes sense why we are so in bed with Saudi Arabia. They promised to sale their oil in only dollars and we promised to buy their oil for most of our refined products. Again, I don't know if this is true, but makes sense to me. Henry Kissinger, an evil genius he was.

Lets look at this we stopped drilling our own oil and we protect a country that hates us and tells us to bend over every time we fill up. And more than likely is into it up to there eye balls over 9 11 and yet WE keep THEIR enemies at bay? WHY?

No, Biden and the Dems are "gouging us".

We have plenty of oil, your environmentalist/Democrat friends don't want us to drill and pump it.

Don’t forget Joe’s intended insult to the Saudi prince by way of a fist bump instead of a hand shake. They haven’t and just got some revenge.

“Nobody #@&*$ with a Biden.” Apparently the Saudi’s didn’t get the memo. LOL.
