To me it is like giving crack to a crack feind. Takes care of the problem short term but still stuck in the same spot. Basically the US is an oil fiend and will do anything and I mean anything to get our hands on it. For the long term prupose I have no idea …do you?

    They are not trying to wean off oil… the Orange pedophile regime is actually looking at paying a BILLION dollar to cancel existing wind farms so that the USA depends harder on fossil fuels

    That is the equivalent of a terminal alcoholic deciding coffee is woke and switching it with bourbon for breakfast

    This isn’t about oil. This is about “Greater Israel”, zionism and the most powerful blackmail ring in the world run by Mossad and the CIA.

    The US have been a net exporter of oil since 2020 something due to domestic shale oil. The meme about US starting wars to get more oil was probably valid in 2003 but not in 2026.

    What they can do is try to cause a 1970s oil crisis in China, who is a net importer. China can and does invest massively in EV, solar and wind to reduce this vulnerability.

      We export it because it’s harder to refine, not because of a domestic oil surplus. We’ve already depleted our reserves.

    What are you talking about? In what reality is supplying an addict with their addiction “taking care of the problem”, either short, medium, or long-term?? Obviously there’s parallels to America’s oil addiction, but that sentence doesn’t make any sense…
