Oh sure, the oil war could be the end of both Putin and Russia. But there's not a lot he can do about it. The Saudis are doing this to squeeze US oil producers. Russia isn't in the equation. Putin will just have to live with it.

How do you suggest that the government get involved in the oil price war? In other words, how would a conservative handle this?

OK, here -> IF our government is colluding with Saudi Arabia to alter what is a Capitalistic Oriented Oil Market in an effort to harm another country then I would recommend that this collusion stop. If they are not and Saudi Arabia is pushing up output for their own reasons then I have no say in the matter. I, for one, am enjoying this respite in the cost of gas.
You see, I feel that the best policy is to walk softly and carry a big stick, our government is the arrogant and obnoxious bully that avoids accountability by acting in such a fashion as if they are above accountability.
To sum it up, I feel that the collusion is in fact occurring and that this fact is something that Russia is aware of, hence my Hornet's Nest observation.

............Saudia Arabia , Producing at almost max output , 12Million BPD !
................Bad for American oil producers and their subcontractors....
................Bad for Russia ,40% drop in monthly revenue , financing wars ..
................Bad for Iran , same 40% drop in revenue , financing Hamas and Syrian war...
................Good(s) for Obama............
................Motivates Castro to open relations with US......
................Motivates Iran to reach deal on Nucleur(sp) material production...preempt Israel from direct attack on bomb making facilitaties.
................Syria moves to enter diplomatic talks to end war.....
................Russia encourages Syria to end war , reduce Syrian need for hard currency to finance war.....
................Foreign aid to Egypt will produce greater diplomatic gains as oil revenue to Egypt has droped by 40% as well ....
................Syrian peace talks , if productive , means Syrian citizens can eventually return home and start rebuilding their country... , fordy

Iran will not give up it's nuclear ambitions . Low oil prices might slow them down some but nothing short of war is going to get them to give it up .

I didn't say we should go to war , I said that's the only thing that will stop them . If you think they can be talked out of their nuclear ambitions I'll sell you a bridge or two .
