This is why in other times, America oil producers were pumping oil out of the ground, cleaning the saltwater out of it, and pumping in back into a different salt dome. Because they knew it would be worth more later. And why companies like Exxon have had record profits for years. And now there is yet another player…

Once they have kept oil prices low, they will stop fracking. It will become more expensive to do, than buy and tanker oil to America. The Saudi's are still making billions off their sales, so a little less cash, is not going to hurt them. And this has happened before. The Arab world, now knows how to bring America…

Yep, when it was us and them with the "BOMB", we could expect sanity. Now there are some nine nations that possess such destructive weapons. And others trying hard to obtain them for themselves.

I used the full name, because I wanted to emphasize the international flavor of it. Now we are being held-up because of our stand against their…

start with a standard flight envelope, and expand it, until it falls out of the sky, then back it off a bit, and there you go. I remember a T-38 -1 having the notation in the envelope page, to not even think about afterburner initiation in some areas of the envelope. That would be a warning that I would remember for…
