    That isn't how oil pricing works. What would you have this Western Oil Group do? I presume Venezuela and Mexico are members? Meanwhile, when the oil coming out of the ME and Russia costs a fraction of what it does in the US, are American companies not allowed to buy it?

    Considering it was an off the top of my head thought process, I haven't worked through the particulars yet. And yeah, that makes sense in terms of cost, though I would think that producing domestically and suppling domestically would reduce the costs, as transportation from outside of North America must add to that price.

    Trump really just needs to go ahead and deal with Iran and quit backing SA.

    Oil is priced internationally. Transportation costs exist, but are minor. Refining costs are more important, but fairly universal.

    The deceased is not even a US citizen, so I'm not sure what a proper response would be.

    The Saudis are an immoral group, as is the group inside the Beltway.

    If we could find our morality, we should stop aiding and abetting their slaughter in Yemen, but we can't find a way out of the gutter.

    Sadly you are correct. Still the hypocrisy is disgusting. We have become what we prosecuted in Nuremberg.
