Saudi Aramco is clearly seeking to offload a highly depleted oil business. Even if I were investing I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. It will not be MBS's salvation unless uninformed retail investors get in big, which I wouldn't count on. The majority of the stake on offer is likely to be snapped up by Big Bankster, which will just further drag it's balance sheet down. Since it can't actually sink, it's the only player that can take that hit.
Gharwar and Marwar are nearly depleted, and KSA is about to not be in the oil business. Globally the world has plenty of oil. KSA doesn't anymore. Iran has plenty of oil left. All of the West's fake dagger waving at Iran conceals that taking down Iraq and Syria have left Iran the power broker in the ME, and I am pretty sure all the memery will give way to the West and Iran becoming best buddies as soon as KSA's oil is tapped out, because that's the only way to keep them out of bed with China. I would actually be stunned if Iran and the US weren't covert allies, given how the US is beating the hell out of the ME all around Iran and leaving immense power vacuums for Iran to fill from Pakistan to Algeria.
I ignore rhetoric and look at results. The result of pitting Iraq against Iran in the 80s and all the destruction of Iraq by the US since has practically handed over Iraq to Iran. That's the result on the ground of US military adventurism in the ME, and I do not believe these results are accidental. It's impossible to believe the covert agencies are so retarded, rather than criminally deceptive.
Thanks!
