Forums - Politics - Gas is 1.89 in my area, what are the ripple effects of this era of cheap gas in America?

I'm hoping we can have cheaper air travel again, as they hiked up prices a lot when oil got expensive. More likely the airlines will just pocket a lot of the difference.

in the UK at least, a big chunk of the increase in air fare is taxation. More than half the cost of a long haul flight ticket is taxes.

Russia is the one hurting the most from this and it is their own faults for invading another country. These sanctions are working apparently.


They invaded Crimea because NATO was going to create a naval base there, Russia knows the Globalists wants them destroyed. This will be solved in 2015, America and UK will pay the price for they arrogancy.


No one in the west has any intention of invading or destroying Russia that I can tell. I think the West has realized over the past half thousand years that no body invades Russia and wins. I don't understand where you get your fear from.


I have never said "invade" brother, I said destroy. They want Russia destroyed. Not only Russia, but this artificial drop on gas is anihilating also my country, Brazil, which, sadly, have no means to defend itself, all we got is sticks and stones really...

Russia however will not go out quietly: kicking and screaming is my guess.

Most americans have no idea why the US created this ilusion, the objective is to harm the BRIC countries.

By the way, in the long run America will suffer for this idiotic magic trick, Wall Street is going to crash 1929 style in the next 3 or 4 months.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Gas went down food went up.



Octane is 99 taka ($1.26) / liter in my country. But government is giving huge subsidies in it to help general people. After the price drop government is expecting to make some profit in years.

The OPEP just announed they can go as low as 20 dollars if America ask them to.
US just send 70 nuclear missiles to launch-ready sites in Turkey today.
3 days ago Russia tested 10 nuke warheads to "improve accuracy".

Mark my words, we will be in bitter tears before the end of the year.
Here in Brazil, Petrobras is sinking pretty fast, a lot of people are losing all money they ever had. The press is supressing it the best they can, but it is leaking all over.

America just destroyed 10% of Brazil´s Economy in less than ten days. Russia lost almost 40% of everything they had in exportations and income.

They are desesperate, we will also get desesperate (brazilians are stupid, it will take months till they realize what is going on).


We can not retaliate against USA, but, mark my words, Russia will. The thing is: Russia do not have a military strong enough to fae NATO, they will have to go for their nukes.

LOL you do realize that Russia still makes a mega ton of money from natual gas which didn't drop nearly as much as oil and for which most European coutries still depent on to gererate their heat during the bitter cold European winters.

I find it disturbing that you can think this is a "LOL" kind of deal.

It is a nuclear attack would lead to the end of the world and its not going to happen.
