What I mean is; market exchange is something, and "robbing" is something else.
Do you seriously believe, that Al-Saud & U.S corrupted officials, would let out the numbers of barrels exchanged for free ?
If you're insinuating those numbers are false, you'll need evidence.

It's more destructive to the environment than regular oil extraction.
Irrelevant, in economic terms, and our discussion is about economics. Stick to the discussion at hand and quit trying to throw sand in the eyes of the readers.

I've already pointed out to you that this is a strawman you're building. If you're going to argue against facts, could you at least do so honestly?

The techniques used to extract Canadian oil cannot be used when the oil is deposited in a different manner. This "let's assume" horseshit is just that, horseshit, because liquid deposits cannot be processed like tarsands.
Rather than "let's assume", why don't you stop assuming that you are right, and instead start reading about the topic you're opining on? Because it's clear to me that you don't know your ass from third base about it.

Define "shaken". Oil was at $120/bbl in August of 08 ... the world still turned.

You have to excuse me. Before 2008, speaking -or even citing- the possibility of an economical collapse, was enough to make you "labeled" as a conspiracy theory maniac.
No, I don't have to excuse you. I expect you to treat me as an individual person, rather than a stereotypical this-or-that. I am giving you that courtesy, and I expect it in return.

You mean "was converted" into fiat, in 1971 by Nixon. Or as I like to call it "the big one".
Wait. You said in your last post that it was pegged to oil. Now you're agreeing with me that it's a fiat currency.
You need to get your facts straight before you post, so that I don't have to point out these self-contradictions of yours.

I didn't mean to offend you.
You should probably stop making assumptions about things and people you don't know, then.

No, they didn't. Lying men did.
These numbers, however, are of a different stripe. Your attempt to assert their dishonesty without providing any support for your accusation is empty argumentation emanating from a person who seems to be afraid to admit error.
Very unimpressive.

Nothing is coming out from this region nowadays, because we are mere slaves.
Answer my questions, please. There's a point to them, I assure you.
As for Arabs being slaves, you get what you settle for. If you don't like the regimes which are selling out your interests, turn them out of office.

Oh, the melodrama! If you're dead, how the hell are you posting?That's right, you carry your fight forward courageously ... online. Forgive the rolling of my eyes.
