Sitting ducks.

I actually think the current stalemate could go on for awhile, maybe a month or two, IF oil prices settle from the initial shock to around $90 a barrel, 10% below where they are now. We've had gas at about $4 before. Unpleasant, but not $6-7.

We are totally alone. The world will ignore Trump if they can, but he will make a lot of noise, posturing, hedging, and his public relations clan will back it up.
