View because I am versed in it. I don’t want to share too much on my background but I’m not googling answers.

You can take it or leave it. I’m absolutely not using this post to advocate, I’m educating.

We are seeing a global shift in the world right now. That is my larger picture. At the end of the day I also see things as an American. I’ve been to these areas and negotiated in China. They aren’t friends of ours.

I don’t want any American to die. But I see panic in some area of our side on oil prices etc which I’m trying to explain. If you were an expert in rubber ducks and there was a large rubber duck attack, I’d appreciate your insight.
