It's more obvious now than ever, that a massive, -massive, psychological study operation was conducted on just about every drop, man, woman, and child in the US, its books, history, libraries, media, and computer infrastructure like the WWW.

Where does the balance of the amount and style of aggression need to be, with talking rhetorical, so that bombing the major airport in Riyadh (that people use to get back and forth from Hajj and Umra, among other positive uses), can be gotten away with?, and diesel gets imported, despite the discomfort and political awkwardness of turmoil with Ukraine?

Let's go over this again; Ukraine's Zelinsky has asked, and been given, so much money from the US, it started to suck some of the life out of the US. Kids weren't eating, lights weren't on, dangerous streets remained dark, schools short of schoolbooks. Politicians all over the land were complaining. This wasn't decades ago, this was months ago.

The price of oil, the correlation, the price of fuel, was impacted by both chaos in the Middle East and chaos in the Ukraine Russia conundrum.

The vibe, without adding a PhD study to this post, looks like Russia can do the nah nah nah nah nah dance with their diesel plan, while the US didn't go as far with fuel method.

Alternative fuels, solar power, electric vehicles, along with mainstream gasoline, may have put the idea that diesel doesn't need to reign supreme, in the US.

Prices on diesel got high, real high.

One penny may not be the much, but when it happens billions of times an hour, it adds up. Extreme illustration. What about millions of pennies, the second string? Millions add up to, which might be the diesel boat.

Despite the ugliness of the events in Ukraine, women conjecturably being seized in the dark, men being shot by weapons designed to obliterate indestructible tanks at close range, buildings falling, families torn, kids being removed from one side of the border and being repatronized by the other, and well, it's time to cut a diesel deal because the cost is too high for truckers that need diesel to make the methodology for those industries involved, to work. 

Off.

As far as Riyadh, and Saudi, in terms of the recent attacks, what happened recently was so far off the established boundaries of what is a acceptable, simply apply the analog.

At this point, there is serious doubt, (SERIOUS DOUBT), Houthis are bring backed by Iran. Any analyst that knows their stuff might agree. 

Here are some basic reasons why:
If Iran got involved with the Palestine/Israel situation, if holy or holy land principles are involved, it's because of a bottom line concept of protection of major holy sites in Islam. Saudi has some of the holy sites on the top priority list, while Palestine/Israel has the other/s. So, how and why in the world would Iran, or anyone upholding the referent concept, facilitate or allow a bomb strike on Riyadh?

Anyone, whether cousin, Shadow, enemy under your nose, that strikes not only once but twice, a location like Riyadh, in consideration of what's discussed, is bound to be seriously questioned.

Where's it all headed?
The worst of the worst, is Russia feels taking Alaska, might also have carryovers that settlements in California by the Russians might be fair, so there might be an effort to try to take control of as much of the US as they can get. Diesel sales is (said nicely, might be) a part of that process or effort.

As far as the Middle East, unfortunately there are people that do nothing but dwell on seeking to destroy, aspects of the holy land/s. Thousands of years since it began, the gambits to try to move toward success is bound to be more sophisticated than Battleship the game or a line up of little toy soldiers.
