I don’t think war would help anyone

“I don’t think war would help anyone”
Killing creditors and seizing others’ wealth is a recurring solution throughout history. Rarely works out well for most people involved, but is often the only available option.
You can’t taunt a cornered bull or BEAR forever. Eventually they will come out swinging against their adversary.
This is what I am concerned about.
The Saudis can keep doing this “not a price” war for a lot longer than it will be prudent to do so.... about 5 years. Before that time is up, if they persist, something will blow up.
But then, you don't have the mentality of a Russian peasant. "It does not matter how poor we are, as long as no one is rich".
This can definitely lead to trouble.
