Nat 20: Currently Iran seams to be the culprit and shits about to get really scary.



Saudi Arabia has cut oil and gas production following drone attacks on two major oil facilities run by state-owned company Aramco.

Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said the strikes had reduced crude oil production by 5.7m barrels a day - about half the kingdom's output.

Neat, should be interesting to see what happens from here.

Probably bad stuff, but whatever, bad stuff always happens, we're doomed anyway, might as well ramp the doom up.

The CIA was trying to claim Iran shot down a drone and literally nobody believed their bullshit. Now that they lost Bolton their inside man they're afraid of who Trump is going to make peace with next

I'd like to think that the us gov allowing domestic gas prices to get jacked would be counter intuitive to Trump's agenda (keeping blue collar pickup truck owners in his collection of supporters, despite loving them constantly), but lol, ya know

Trump does not control the US government. In fact, much of the US government hates his agenda and actively works against him
