    But all the so-called smart people are telling me that Putin prefers Trump who loves fracking over some dem green gaia religionist that promises to shut down fracking and jail US oil executives.

    It's obvious we need to ban fracking and get oil back to $130 a barrel and phu*ck over the American working man and stuff the pockets of Putin and the Saudis.

    We can't drill our way to lower oil prices.
    Apparently the Saudi's can.

    So did we. Despite Obama’s declaration.

    One other conspiracy take on it...with Iran economy a wreck and Coronavirus running rampant there the Saudis are trying this in an effort to tip over the govt there.

    Not sure I buy that one, but this is going to make life rough on them, esp with their main benefactors in Russia and China also impacted with events.

    I don't think that's a conspiracy theory. That's a given strategy.

    Now, the conspiracy question is whether US money is behind that Putin ball squeeze operation.

    I think Putin is old and desperate and worried about being usurped.

    Putin is a lot of bad things, but he’s been financially sound with Russia. I guess if you have Aspergers and are nailing a 20-some Russian ballerina you don’t feel the need to spend like a rapper like most dictators and Middle Eastern nutjobs do...
