With the arrival of Peak Oil, the curtain has closed on Act 1 of the drama Petroleum Man. What will happen in Act 2? Chekhov said, "If there's a gun on the wall at the beginning of the play, by the end it must go off." In the world's nuclear arsenal are many guns on the wall.

Hi Jenna:
ReplyDeleteHave you looked at the Jarad Kushner & Qatar thing closely.
Looks to me that this is the USA attempting to muscle in on the UK's sphere of influence & force business Trumps cronies way.
The 'trouble' could just be the USA stirring up fairly trivial tribal rivalries to try & suggest to Qatar, that only the USA can protect them from the Saudis.
No one likes 'Bif' tactics, no chance of a velvet glove.
Also: Former US Defense Secretary Robert Gates stated in May 2017 that he doesn't "know instances in which Qatar aggressively goes after (terror finance) networks of Hamas, Taliban, Al-Qaeda," and that "My attitudes toward Al-Udeid and any other facility is that the United States military doesn’t have any irreplaceable facility.
