They really screwed up when they threatened Putin with terrorist blackmail of the Olympics if he did not go along with the Syrian "Arab Spring".   They are going to fool around and get Mecca and Medina blown up.  Then, there will be absolutely no reason for their existence.

The OPEC agreement in the 1970s requires oil producing members (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc) to sell oil in US dollars only. Countries who refuse to sell oil in dollars only have been hit with sanctions and worse: hussein in 2000, gadaffi, iran

The idea that we are replacing Saudi oil with shale oil is fantasy.

We still import 2/3 rds of the oil we consume.

Finally, America is no longer beholden to the Arabs for energy.  This is the perfect time to sell as much as we can to the Europeans (y'know, instead of actually dealing with the Ukraine thing) so, in ten years, we can go back to kissing Saudi ass.

Yep, all short term money gains. I'm afraid of losing the petrol dollar as inflation will be incredibly insane.

Good. Fuck them. It's far better that we get oil from Canada where we both have DEEP shared interests and culturally identical. Not having to worry about Canada using oil money to promote extremism.

When was the US ever dependent on Saudi oil?  We don't use high sulfur content crude oil.  Europe and Asia were dependent on Saudi oil.  We secured their interest for them.

Check out the Saudi's arms purchases in the last couple years.

Yeah, it's safe to say they're nervous.

Isn't this the reason for the gulf war, not to steal the oil but the opposite, to insure the price remains a certain level by regulating it out? They wouldn't want them turning on full flow and driving the price down if it all fell into the hands of some other nation.
