The most obvious spin would surely be the Saudis saying they are deliberately dropping the price of their oil. It’s like something the current FG mob would come up with.

2312

The market decides the price. The Saudis (to a large degree) decide how much is produced, which is what affects the price.

2313

lol

2314

“oil prices are low because Saudi a has so decided” is your direct quote.

2315

l’Equipe reporting that the stadium in Hanover is being evacuated and the Germany v Holland game is called off.

2316

The king of whataboutery has spoken.

2317

Saudi dictates how much oil is produced which dictates the price, what is not clear about that?

2318

That’s what the Saudis would like you to believe. This is a more plausible statement than the yanks giving a flying fuck one way or the other is it not?
If your business may be failing due to falling profits, and you are effectively a dictatorship, surely it is in the interests of the ruling family to have people believe they are doing it as part of a grand plan far more than it is that the yanks are mithered.

2319

Ps both are factors.

2320

Since the yanks are the biggest consumers of energy, let’s assume they give a flying fuck. And if you’re a dictatorship, you probably have less cause to try to spin the story, it’s not like the electorate is going to turf them out. And, you know, oil production, prices, and consumption are measurable, and the largest producers and consumers have been competing with each other across all three for decades.

You’re missing a big point pal, the majority of the isis terrorists aren’t actually Syrian. They are just fighting against Assad in Syria, and some were backed militarily by the West not so long ago when it suited.

They are a mixed bag of nationals from all over the middle east and are heavily financed by the Gulf States who incidently don’t take any Syrians. You’re targeting of Syrian refugees coming into Europe is way off, they have a sizable christian community.

2322

the Saudis have a far more vested interest in this than the yanks.

2323

Confirmed on the BBC Site.
