I was thinking of buying a new car soon. Maybe I better reconsider a 5.7 litre v8 in favour of a for Ka....

Seems like the Russian bear is growling again. It's all a phoney war, mind.

But DC lives in a (genuine) democracy.

Putin is currently unhappy with the price of oil hence his rhetoric !

It wouldn't just be the USA who suck up to the Saudis. It would be the UK, NZ and all the weak western politicians and their cultural marxist agenda.

If Trump gets into power the US might join in.

That's one ball. Which Hitler had.

Saudi has CAUSED the fall in oil prices, their aim is to bankrupt the shale gas/oil producers in the US by making it prohibitively expensive to extract the gas and oil, they are the ones who have continuued pumping unwanted barrels of oil causing massive oversupply.

Took the words out of my mouth. Some people haven't a clue about word politics it appears.

Even if Putin was to go ahead I'm sure FIFA wouldn't even consider removing the 2018 world cup from Russia.

They're still broke as a result. $98Bn deficit last year.

This. No wonder Putin is mad, it's destroying the Russian economy.

Exactly, Would leave Russia as the 2nd largest producer by far, pushing the price through the roof and forcing the rest of the World to buy from them again. He's only looking after his own Countries interests and economy.

Yes they're broke. They have no investments, property, gold, assets, they are small players in the world market. I mean they've only been receiving billions in revenue for the last two decades but I'm sure they spent it all on fast cars and jets right?

I'm sure I saw something in the paper the other day that the Saudi's wealth has dropped about 10 % in a year, but still plenty in the tank, excuse the pun.

bomb Saudi and Russia would be cut off economically the next day, which would piss off alot of wealthy Russians, and Putin's days would be numbered. this is about Saudi's screwing with the oil market and putting Russia into economic problems while trying to deal with sanctions - it means they are working (because of Ukraine, remember?) Saudi's can cope with the low oil price for as long as they want, because they are responsible for suppressing prices themselves. they'll reduce the supply and bring up the price eventually, though days of $100+ have gone thanks to shale. Russia doesnt give a shit about Syria other than their military base there and a sence o still being a global geo-political player.

Nothing wrong with making the Saudi's think a little bit more about their disruptive influence in Syria. It doesn't matter to Saudi what may or may not happen to Russia if their country and monarchy is destroyed and it ends up like Iraq, Libya and Syria.

Been rather a lot of 'investments' in properties and securities that have also had the arse fall out of them due to the price drop. They're not the most competently run economy and the idea that they can just turn the taps off and see oil prices rise when they want to is naive - particularly with Iran back in the game. Saudi no longer sets the floor on price, but their last stab at trying to do so has lowered it - a lot.

This isn't major news. Not even featured on most mainstream press when even Hartlepool are getting a mention this weekend.

One and the same, so yes.

What the Saudis are doing in the Yemen is disgusting. The West is trying to oust Assad for less. Will they call for regime change in Saudi Arabia too?

Will they f***.

Maybe we should all be asking ourselves why?
