this reminds me of how opec also did this in the 80s.
dropping the price of oil so drastically and so suddenly, the half of oil russians refused to trade for USD were of no value. basically fast tracking the crash.
forcing the soviets to either make their big move at war, or fail. and we lucked out that they collapsed.
and now the price of oil suddenly drops again so quickly (for no reason... lol)
its like no one remembers or something? its not like we are trying to force them into a war or something right? XD
