Crude Drops despite Pipeline Targeting

[Jimbeaux]

News reports that the Russians are targeting a major pipeline, yet crude falls to $114/barrel. Tell me speculators have not played a part in recent rises.

[pugwash4x4]

when the pipeline was built the risk to it from Russia was factored into the price of oil coming from it! it's not a market "shock" as it were.

That makes sense; however, it seems that Saturn shooting off a gaseous flare these days would raise crude prices. A measley excuse of "it was factored in" is mere logic against unfettered emotion....logic doesn't stand a chance.

Maybe he would think Europe, being one of the biggest economies in the world, should shoulder the load. Why should the USA have to do everything?

Team America is a bit stretched right now. It seems a bit of a cheek to expect the Yanks to step in when Europe, with all its money, does nothing.

A good test for Europe i would say- we have more than enough political/military/economic clout to sort the Russians out if we choose- just to have wait and see if we chooose to do so or not.

think a Euro Sceptic (which i definitely am) could make a political field day of having the US step in to fix an EU problem! hopefully it would be the end of the EU as a serious political power and we can go back and shelter with our US friends.

Europe doesn't have the balls anymore to even come close to being aggressive against Russia, it certainly doesn't have the political clout.

Dunno why any other countries would be especially eager to jump into the scrap...as far as I can see Georgia prodded the sleeping bear too many times.

Yet it doesn't?

Why on earth would Europe want to detach itself from the self appointed world police (fk yeah)?

We're so ungrateful after the Second World War (which I laughingly saw as "1942-45" in an American bookshop) aren't we?

you can't fight the Market - supply and demand always wins. The fact is supply was always plentiful, so it was just a matter of time!

It was irony, clown. After all of the abuse heaped on us from snobby Europhiles, why should they expect anything from us? (Although, in reality, we will help if they were threatened).

No, you'll help if your supply of black gold is threatened...

Ever wonder why the yanks get so much abuse?

After all, you're always right aren't you?

You know i sort of agree with you when it comes to certain members of the EU. It's just that in returning the favour they paid you the countries which have been helping out with your strtigic interests (and that is not to say that they are theirs to a degree too)end up with their forces spread thin and no help in protecting their interests.
