#3 Probably would; for a while the US business plan has been built around borrowing money from China to buy oil from Venezuela and places like it.

Imagine him doing this the same week some events in the Middle East cut off oil from there. And, of course, us waking up to all of that _and_ finding out that lots of the Canadian oil that wasn't good enough for us earlier is under long-term contract to countries like China.

I think all of this is coming, and it's going to be coordinated; for lack of a better term, I'm calling it "the dogpile."

They're probably postponing it until all the rigs are finally gone from the Gulf, which is a goal that's suddenly within sight.
