Trump: We Don’t Need Middle Eastern Oil And Gas
Twitter ^ | Sep 16, 2019

Posted on 09/16/2019 4:50:58 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Because we have done so well with Energy over the last few years (thank you, Mr. President!), we are a net Energy Exporter, & now the Number One Energy Producer in the World. We don’t need Middle Eastern Oil & Gas, & in fact have very few tankers there, but will help our Allies!

I think it would be a mistake to think that. Perhaps not to say it.

Then the Saudis and ARAMCO should do something about it.

How long do you think it would take to get the oil into the pipeline? Maybe 20 years after all of the environmental impact statements.

There is probably more money to be made in the Permian as a water supplier than as an oil producer. And less risk.

The Saudis don’t want to get their fighter jets dusty...

The price of gas is continuing to drop here in KY. It was 2.19, then 2.17 and this morning it’s $2.15.

And tomorrow it will be close to $2.50.

I know right... They have literally some of the nicest top end equipment in the world (straight from boeing and lockheed). They could probably smack Iran all by themselves.

Many of those regulations have been rolled back

The problem with that is that absolutely insane regulation and taxation on the part of the US government makes it almost impossible for a company to have a competitive US-flagged merchant fleet. The Democrats crushed our merchant marine 50-plus years ago and nobody noticed.

Yeah, it’s a world market. And of the whole middle east falls into the sea... our oil is more valuable than ever.

It’s a world market, Mr. President.

Well then the "world's army" can go to war with iran if it wants.

His Twitter feed seems overwhelmed by lefties looking to give him a hard time.

It always is.

Just remember, it's that same couple of hundred losers that are always there, and most of them are probably bots.

You can tell they're bots when they're replying generically only seconds after the President tweets.

I really hope the media and the democrats keep relying on Twitter for their news and political beliefs. By trying to appease the extreme Communist Left on Twitter, they're digging a hole with normal and moderate Americans.

Keep America Great 2020!

I’d not be surprised. We’re certainly being set up to expect it.

I have a 150 mile round trip commute. I fill up every two days. I just take it in stride. When I started this job, gas was at $3.69 a gallon.

The Iranians rose up just before Trump got elected and Obama, best bud of the mullahs, did nothing to help them and even sided with the mullahs.

Trump is a genius. We are now the largest oil exporter on Earth.

He got us out of the Middle East. The ONLY reason now is Israel.

BTW, I read the same book, and I’m thinking the USA won’t mean much when that comes to pass.

If all Israel needs is the Lord, why would we be necessary?

This is where opening up the Bakken Formation (the Dakotas), the Permian Basin (western Texas) and the Marcellus Shale (eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania and West Virginia parts) with “fracking” has made Americans close to 100% independent from Middle Eastern oil. Indeed, it has revived the petrochemical industry because we now have such a huge excess of natural gas available.

Unless we are willing to kill every single Iranian we should not even be talking about “War” with them. ****
The Iranian people yearn to be free.

During the Arab Spring they were in the streets protesting the brutal regime run by the Father of Lies.

Obama “rescued” protesters in other countries to turn them over to ValJar’s Muz Brohood.

The evil leadership needs to be removed by allies of the Iranian people in the area and the people themselves.
