Indeed, like OPEC raising prices, demand, etc.
War and riots in the Middle East, The BRIC countries economic growth, OPEC being greedy and so on.

Gas Prices will only rise (long term). Green Tech is the future. Just a question on when the future arrives.

There is no reason to address you these days, is there?:D
:D

He is basically ignoring them now in regards to Iran.
Who cares about Iran? I'm talking about Palestine.

And even if we are talking about Iran, if Israel is ready to hit Iran, Obama will be their slave that obeys whatever they want, as usual. It is all about Israel's not being ready to fight, not because Obama's forbidding them...

You mean like supporting Palestine's 1967 border demands last year?? :confused:
Has that changed anything on ground? Settlements have grown in his era more than ever, and to be clear here for those who don't know the region, the settlements are inside the 1967 border you mentioned...

    Perhaps his bulldozer license has expired? Or maybe you were expecting him to send in attack drones?

    Realistically?

    If you want material examples, how about him lifting the US Congress freeze on a $192 million aid package to the Palestinian Authority in April. I am sure the Israelis were dancing in the streets over that one.

    The problem with being so unilateral in opinion is that it diminishes anything into nothing. It trivializes everything into meaninglessness. When you call everyone Hitler, Hitler is everyone.

    So do we, us danes, not by Norwegian standards tho (still hate Hækkerup for loosing it).

    Oil Sands is a mess, isn't it? Takes a lot of effort to get the oil split from the sand and other stuff in the underground.

    Just to clarify, I only mean on that particular issue.:D
    I don't post anything else these days on the forum, so no need for specifying your doubts :D

    Believe it or not, but Israelis were really dancing in the streets over that step you mentioned. You know that the Palestinian authority was just made to protect Israel. Not paying money to that authority may affect Palestinians, but it will affect Israelis more as that will mean the fake authoirty will collapse and Israelis will have to defend themselves with bare hands, not by their spies headed by Abbas

    I wish he did not pay that amount. But he was recommended by Israel to pay that amount because Israelis make use of them more than Palestinians...

    And thus we have the crux of why Palestine is fucked and nobody is willing to help them. Anything short of dropping nukes on the Mossad is considered blatant Israeli favoritism by default. :pado:

    Good luck there trying to build any support.

    I would say that from my time following the crude market, the releases from OPEC had little effect over price movement compared to Federal Reserve policy, geopolitical current events, and even natural disasters. Now that the FED has essentially added QEinfinity to their clownish mandate, those prices will definitely go higher. The FED serves the big banks; the biggest joke and lie I have heard from Washington is that they "regulate" them. The FED will loan to the large banks with their zero interest rate policy, and then they will turn around and speculate in commodities or interest rate derivatives to earn their massive profits -- which are usually conducted by high frequency trading scams. Yeah, maybe some of that cash will be put into other types of bonds, but who cares. There will always be higher pressure on commodity prices with the FED in charge, along with a government that is unable to curtail spending.

    And even if they incur massive losses in derivatives, they will still be upheld by the "regulatory" FED.

    This is the biggest issue we face today as a nation. But unfortunately, these policies are supported by the Republicans and ALL Democrats, which is why your vote truly does not matter and probably never will.
