Karl W. Miller, Saudi Arabia: The Breaking Point (12 October 2026) --

The Gulf’s energy system will take far longer and cost far more to rebuild than anyone in Washington is admitting, and Saudi Arabia can no longer be counted on to cover the gap.
Rebuilding the damaged Gulf energy complex will take 7-10 years for the most severely damaged, interconnected systems, meaning recovery could be expected between roughly October 2033 and October 2036. Partial output will return sooner, but full, reliable operation will not.
Meanwhile the fuel must still be bought somewhere: each year that 1 million barrels a day of fuel supply stays offline means 365 million barrels to replace, about $55 billion at price of $150 a barrel. Leaving full 3 million barrel-a-day gap unrepaired for three more years implies nearly $500 billion in replacement purchases.

My feelings exactly!

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
