Doesn't the result of small businessmen in the USA, fracking, and driving world oil prices down below $50, breaking the back of OPEC oil price rigging, mean something?
Doesn't it mean the US is not behind secret deals and politics in the Middle East?
The previous American government encouraged fracking, in order to bring down the crude oil prices, and thereby bankrupting Russia. They thought that Russia will not last for more than one or two years. But even after more than three years, Russia is going strong.
Even though they encouraged fracking, its been of great benefit for the entire world, crude related products are very low and consumers are happy about that, Though not a fan of the previous US government i laud that initiative.
