Many major governments are operating a budget deficit.

They've been running a very large surplus for many years which I believe now means cash in the bank. Obviously it relies heavily on the price of oil being above the breakeven point. Which seems to be around $74 for them.

Not just SA in the middle of many wars, but it does seem very involved in a lot of conflict at the moment.

Depends on what you mean by "break even", their production costs are ~$10 a barrel presumably the rest is to underwrite the princely lifestyle

Looks like the characters "short-term illusion of" have done a Tory from your image.
