...and that is the bottom line, right there. It ain’t “our gas” that is at stake here. China’s gas and India’s gas maybe but we don’t use it. Unless we are willing to kill every single Iranian we should not even be talking about “War” with them. It’s retarded.
His Twitter feed seems overwhelmed by lefties looking to give him a hard time.
Freepers have been saying all of this for years. Utilize our domestic resources and let the sponsors of terrorism (Saudi Arabia is #1) go broke. Hence, cut off funding for world wide terrorism.
MSM is pushing the war hard.
It will take an attack on Israel I would think to make this WWIII.
The price of gas is continuing to drop here in KY. It was 2.19, then 2.17 and this morning it’s $2.15.
If this attack was real then it’s pretty bold. I hope that all of our forces in the area are on high alert. Sure is strange that right after Bolton “resigned” that this attack took place. What could that mean? Did the Iranians overplay their card and think that with him gone that there would be no appetite for a conflict? I think the Iranians are crazy and they have a history of taking hostages and subverting Iraq and Lebanon. They have worked through their proxies to wreck havoc everywhere from Hamas to Yemen and Hezbollah killing our Marines. I wouldn’t care if a few of their cities got smoked off the map. The only problem is that they have the new anti aircraft missiles from Russia. Better to use cruise missiles and drones.
It’s a world market, Mr. President.
I’m convinced there are elements within Iran that could guide the country towards a modern civil society but they may never see the opportunity. I think a confrontation is coming soon with the Islamist.

WHY? Our so called “allies” have been dancing with our enemies for a long time. Let them freeze and go without gasoline and diesel for their cars, so they will know the lesson of relying on SA and Russia for their energy.
Then why are we getting ready to fight for it? Let Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states and China and India fight for it.
Trump has made us energy independent
The 9/11 Saudis despite their wealth and enormous cache of modern , sophisticated military weaponry cannot defend themselves or even defeat starving Yemini rebels. Time to ditch these Arab terrorists. Whoever eventually controls the oil will need to sell it. Don’t want a useless war with Iran but it should be noted that the mullahs and their goons have yet to suffer for the 1979 hostage taking and humiliation of America. A great power does not let insults go unpunished. Keep up the sanctions on Iran until they provoke Israel, see their nuclear infrastructure and personnel destroyed and the medieval regime collapse.
This whole thing brought back to my mind the scene of John Wick in the desert finally talking to the one truly in charge.
Keep increasing production and refining capacity.
Then the in very few more years, step away from the Middle East. If China and the Yurps want oil and gas, they’ll just have to start dealing with that mess. It won’t be our problem any more.
Of course, Jefferson messed things up with his Embargo. And that is a lesson learned.
We're back to "in the beginning".
We want Free and FAIR Trade as expressed by President Trump. We're getting there....step by step.
Tell the Dems to get off their butts and approve USMCA.
Ahh much better - This is the president I know. Take your old and shove it up your ...
Oil is a worldwide market with high transportability and few direct substitutes.
While the U.S. has enough of our own, we are not immune to price shocks.
Well, let’s be honest here, the oil market is global. While “we” don’t need to import oil, the price of privately owned oil is going to rise during global shortages.
And, as I posted over in that other post, Trump seems to think so also.
