The only country Israel cares about is Israel, and they care about us only insofar as how much support they can get from us and how much we will defend them when they commit human rights violations against Arabs living in Israel.TexasScientist said:Nor is anyone else in the Middle East, save Israel, our friend. Our way of life is counter to their fanatical religious beliefs.J.R. said:What I meant referring to humanity was that we as a nation have to have a much higher moral compass and cannot standby and look the other way when a foreign leader orders that brutal murder of journalist from a US newspaper. Our/Trumps looking the other way continues to erode our moral leadership under Trumps. The oil price comment has to do Trump placating a thug and a Royal Family so that they will keep the price down by over producing, so not to get on Trumps bad side. Trumps want the oil price down to placate his "bubba base". Yes, that is one one of my businesses. Trump is not a free market guy. He likes to pick economic winners and losers based on nothing more than what is good for him. Same with tariffs. We are starting to see the wrong headiness of those show up in earnings and guidance and the lovely bear market we now have in equities and Oil. And BTW, Saudi ain't our friends.contrario said:Screw humanity? I understand you are in the oil business and you'd like oil prices to be higher so you can make more profit, but how does lowering prices of a commodity "screw humanity"? Again, I understand your personal reasons for disagreeing with this result and I could even understand the negative impact it could have on the Texas economy and the US economy as a whole, but "screw humanity"?J.R. said:
I like to say unbelievable, but it's not. Let's get that oil price down and screw humanity.
