The term for a traditional factory would be fabbrica.

So these are more like facilities, but Halliburton and KBR are of course oil companies - these facilities are located in and associated with the Basra oil fields.

I'll change the term in the OP to avoid confusion.

And American companies. That's like death, taxes, and the speed of light in a vacuum. A universal constant.

I said, ha ha

Great! This was the plan all along, we go back to proxy war with us arming the Iraqi.

The more things change…….

Are they still under contract to the U.S. govt?

f**ckers (Halluburton AND those who allow them to steal from the taxpayers)

Soon you're talking about real money

(as the saying goes)

That they'll pressure the orange goon to stop. It's been proven time and again that the thing he understands is money.

Not likely, but one can hope.

Double karma.

Fill up now if you can. Even periphery GCC ( Gulf Cooperation Council) countries are getting hit.

I see "oil" at $91.27/barrel at this moment, $61/barrel last week. A generic oil. That's up $10.26/barrel from the market close Friday, a 12.67% rise. Gallon for an average of $3.19 around here. $2.50 last week.

I'm sure glad I have a PHEV car. The electric motor will only go 30 miles on a charge, but that's enough to get me just about anywhere and back in this town.

It is being reported that a thousand Americans died in an Iranian attack on a base in Saudi Arabia. Silence from the White House.

There are elements of truth to it but doesn't claim that 1000 soldiers are dead and uses some fake imagery. It is also very pro-Iran

And their people have largely been unconquerable since the dawn of history. Akexander basically passed through and they altered Islam before adopting it. And they have been arming and training for 45 years now.

The 36,574 dead GI's in Korea & 58,220 dead in Vietnam support that.

Also if Iran was "unconquerable" they would still be practicing Zoroastrianism, not Islam.

Iran has been fully conquered by external powers roughly 3 to 5 major times in its ~3,000-year history, despite its rugged, defensible terrain. Major conquests included Alexander the Great (330 BC), the Arab/Islamic conquest (7th century), the Mongols (13th century), and temporary conquests by Turkic peoples and the Safavids.
