    Reason #45684 to move our energy infrastructure to American manufactured renewables to break our dependency from foreign oil.

    a blessing in disguise, the idiot Bin Salaman is determined to sell Aramco, this incident helps to slow the IPO's process

    Probably a bump but nothing that drags out unless there’s more attacks.

    Drone attacks are the next big thing. Seriously.

    Russia is jamming GPS over most of the Middle East as a result of drone attacks by DAESH on a Russian airbase in Syria. The insurgent types have bee building up the skill set for five or six years.

    For a few hundred dollars investment you can do millions of dollars of damage to the enemy without loss of life. It is turning out to be a super effective tactic.

    Trump has been too passive with Iran. USA needs to give them a hard slap to keep them in check.

    Crude prices jumped 18%. It feels like yesterday when regular gasoline was $4/gallon. Then the global economy crashed. Where do you see it peaking this time?

    Trump is living in the past. Iran would be a better ally as they are more secular and we aren't dependent on Saudi oil anymore

    Don't want any fighting with Iran. I don't care if they did do it. No war.

    Trump seeks to commemorate the 18th Anniversary of September 11 by
    1) inviting the Taliban for a vacation weekend at Camp David
    2) putting the US Military at the disposal of the Saud family

    The America Last policy is tired of winning, yet...
