Well, duh. The most under-reported story of Trump's Presidency was the revelation last week that the US is exporting oil to the Middle East.

I think oil is Russia's number one revenue generator so, yeah, that has to worry them.

Which reminds me, the best reason to dismiss any suggestion that Russia was working to get Trump elected is the fact that Trump was pushing for the Keystone XL Pipeline and to open up offshore drilling in the US.

Why would they want to help someone get elected that would cost them money?

Also, the Middle East is being hammered financially because the opening of vast new natural gas fields (thanks to “fracking”) means the USA becomes less dependent on the Middle East. And all that surplus natural gas explains why coal is falling out of favor for power plant fuel.

Texas Eagle, I just saw your profile. And Psalm 37. So apt and applicable to many situations and examples, but for this very topic as well. Thank you.
