I am already hearing the same old argument that if Trump goes to war it is all about oil.

WRONG!

Reality is, if Iran is successful in shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, America gets richer, because everyone will be forced to buy our oil. So using that tired old argument is dead. If we do nothing we get richer, because the world would have to come to us.

Especially since one of the largest producers of oil is Venezuela, and their Socialist government has collapsed and cannot get their own oil out of the ground. As usual Socialism breeds poverty and destruction.

So If Trump does nothing, we get richer. Sorry Charlie, but that old argument is baseless.

Time for the leftists to get educated.

It is not about their oil.

Still winning, and not tired of it.

Well, the oil companies get rich, but since oil is an internationall traded commodity everyone else would have to pay higher prices so the only people who win are the the oil companies operating in places other than the middle east.
