Dear prince MBS, do you require any f35s and cluster bombs to attack civilians with? Can we help you dismantle journalist's corpses? Please give us some money

    The world needs 100 million barrels of oil a day. Let’s stop blaming presidents, oil companies, countries with poor human rights. The OPEC oil crisis was 50 years ago, and Americans still drive big cars and want cheap gas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisis It seems just like yesterday when Carter warned Americans that we would run out of oil. https://youtu.be/-tPePpMxJaA https://youtu.be/-tPePpMxJaA

      I remember studying oil production 25 years ago in college and distinctly remember how oil production would peak in couple decades. Hilarious. It was right about one thing. Peak oil peaked.

      Don't blame the pushers and producers and profiteers and corrupt politicians who inhibit alternatives, and instead blame the 7.8 billion people who depend on petroleum products? No thanks I think I'll keep laying the blame where it's due. Same as illegal drugs.

Of course he does. Yemen is to Saudi as Ukraine is to Russia. All with our heartfelt support.
