It's not going to do much for the price of oil, or the chance for "world peace" in '16 - more likely it leads to a world in flames before this year is out. I'm losing count of number of hotspots in the world.

I'm pretty sure we're gonna need to keep Obama in office just to sort things out. /s

“the chance for “world peace” in ‘16 - more likely it leads to a world in flames before this year is out.”

It is like Jimmy Carter’s last year in office - the bad guys have to get as much as they can before the the opportunity passes.

In 1979, the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, and islamists overthrew the Shah in Iran.

This year the Russians and islamists are on the march again, but China is grabbing at the South China Sea as well.

The enemy gets a vote in what happens. I also expect flames this year.
