My comments :
7 million barrels of oil processing capacity PER DAY has been shut down.
Oil prices are going to go berserk.
Oil prices are going to go berserk.
Rule No. 1 Dont put all your eggs in one basket, especially in shithole countries like Saudi Arabia. They should have spread out their oil processing facilities into smaller plants around the place.
This gigantic plant can process 7 MILLION barrels per day!!

Bomb this one plant and the Saudis are toast.
The Saudis say the fires were under control. I dont think so. Look at those videos. That entire mile long plant is burning to the sky. Those fires look like volcanic eruptions. I dont think they could control the flames at all. Meaning the flames must have just burned themselves out. And burned everything with them. After the fires burnt out the Saudis claimed they got them under control.
The Houthis have used cheap and home made drones - 10 of them in a simple swarm attack. They have cost billions of dollars in losses. This is a fantastic example of cost effective, assymetrical warfare. What happened to the billion dollar Patriot missile systems?
The al Saudi are toast. After this I believe there will be another palace coup and the Crown Prince will lose his head.
The al Saudi family is simply not capable of suffering any type of situation where they have to work, think or fight for their wealth.
They will not settle with the Houthis for peace.
The Houthis will rightly demand billions of US Dollars as damages for those FIVE years of Saudi genocide against Yemen.
The Houthis will also demand recognition of a separate North Yemen state ruled by the Houthis. Plus they will demand to keep the border provinces of Asir, Najran and Jizan - annexed by Saudi Arabia in the 1930s.
That alone will cost Mohamed bin Salman his head.
My advice is he better get on his private jet and fly off to Detroit in the United States and disappear into the Arab shisha clubs.
Dont make the same mistake Najib did. Leave now - while you still can.
