We will need to see an escalation of conflict, globally would be price beneficial, but specifically in the Middle East. All I'm reading both in the mainstream, and alternative media suggests that a Middle Eastern conflagration is not out of the question at all. As early as just after the US election. It would be foolhardy of a lame-duck President to start a war just before Hilliary is taken to the polls.

The Saudis are killing themselves slowly by increasing production. Their foreign reserves are being depleted by having to support their social spending. When that stops, do you think the Saudi Royal family is going to last long? Another (Saudi) Arab Spring is right around the corner. They're also covertly bombing Yemen...

Turkey, as an arm of NATO, and hence a vassal of the US, is directly provoking Russia. Erdogan's son is up to his eyeballs in contra-oil from Syria/Iraq via Daesh.

The US has Russia essentially surrounded with military bases in Eastern Europe and the Near East. All with missiles pointed at Moscow.

If* we hit conventional in that setting, $1 will be giving it away

*Extraordinarily massive IF, by the way.

Edit: feel free to tell me if my tin foil hat is on crooked....
