It is close to my bedtime. Gotta work the next few days, early shifts. But just to add a pinch to your statements which I agree in full with. I for one always include the geopolitical issues regarding, we basically have dislodged the Russians from their former influence in the ME significantly. It is an important part of the whole equation. Sure they still have hold on Syria and Iran, but the area for so long has been extremly important regarding energy resources.
One irony regarding your statement on the chinks moving into Cuban waters to drill. They announced well over a year ago their intent to do so. And I for one made a similar statement as you just did. They could really f*** up the Keys with a few bad spills. And within the geo affect the east coast much more drastically then what was predicted from this spill. As of today it was announced a Spanish drilling company will be soon setting up shop in the Cuban waters. Forget now where I read it.
I'll be on FR for a little while longer then have to hit the sack. If I don't hear from ya, do have a great upcoming day.

Agree with all that.

Skandi 2 has a good view of the bottom of the BOP stack. There is an ROV there right now that no one can identify. Never shows a feed. No name. I am guessing it is the Gmans Squiddy. Might be trying to collect the gas sample.

See ya.
