e past four months. US policy is wrecking the Russian economy as we prepare for continued war in Syria and Iraq. China, Russia, and Iran continue to support Assad.

in zelda games if u smash jars inside them are rubles. hth

those are ruppees, I believe. Not to be confused with the currency that Russia has used for hundreds of years. Also copecks lost half their value, givng even more meaning to the phrase: I don't give two copecks.

you have it wrong, redshirt. this is also going to gently caress up mookface's job. opec is keeping oil prices low to put tar sands out of business too. oil has to be expensive for that inefficient process to be profitable. i pray for mookface every night

OPEC has high tech oil producers by the balls, they could literally drop the price to 10 cents/gallon and make a profit still.

Don't think so. Once you've built the infrastructure for extraction and delivery, you don't just give it up.

Also, as mentioned, US oil production is a literal weapon in a war against petro states and pseudo petro states like Russia.

It's a double-edged sword, you idiot.

then Russia gets owned by the west because they wasted all their nukes on loving eastern europe, then gets owned again when all the radiation blows back into Russia.

I'm pretty sure they have enough to destroy the entire world.

like how much simpler does market economics get than corporations which see a drastic fall in profit will also see a drastic fall in what they can invest for output - a fall in supply, or even going bankrupt if they have too much debt to revenue. its not like fracking is a nationalized business. if energy prices fall further, yes, it will become less profitable to frack and extract oil from tar sands, and so less of it will happen. this happened in the 80s. god drat i hate liberals

They will also lie about costs and profits.

Maybe you can invest in their nuclear weapons program.

remember when people were saying we'd hit hubbert's peak in like 2008 and oil would be $400 a barrel by now and industrial society would be collapsing

I wish that had happened

People don't need oil as much as they thought they did. Turns out we need clean air, clean water, and healthy food more. New technologies are changing other countries while the US is being left behind.
