National Security? Pffht.
Everything must pass the political test.
The Muslim Obama loves Iran, so no.
didn’t have to. already shot up 50 cents overnight here.
“”What’s the administration’s problem with going in and taking out some of their oil infrastructure?””
Obama claims their exports of oil to us are extremely important. Gotta giggle at that one. According to the EIA the top 5 countries that import petroleum to the US measured in their last full year, 2022, are:
Canada - 60%
Mexico - 10%
Saudi Arabia - 7%
Iraq - 4%
Colombia - 4%
Totals to 85% of our oil imports

Tht means that Iran shares 15% of all the other countries that send us petroleum and less than 4%. I somehow don’t think some other little country would be very happy to send a little to us to make a little hard earned cash.
As usual, either Obama is lying trying to use fear as a weapon agaisnt the American people or he’s a damed fool (or both).

Why don’t we just make Iran State 51?
Blue haired people are putting a price tag on American service people
Is 1$ more a gallon worth 3 dead ? 300 dead ? 3000?
How much per gallon will the United States allow before attacking the oil fields ?
Liberals and the liberal media are at fault.
Something needs to give
If we’re going to retaliate take out their nuke capability
Sounds like a democrat accidentally told the truth. That’s weird - - doesn’t happen often.
Strictly speaking, it’d make more sense to take out refined products production, storage, and import terminals. No fuel and...
The LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) part of the story:
The federal government has responded by trying to destroy Texas’s LNG industry, a major part of its economy.
And that move against LNG is a whole other story that’s just as important as the war on the border itself.
Destroying America’s and American companies’ hold on LNG has always been a core part of the Obama-Biden administration.
The O’Bidens were going to enter into an LNG partnership with China and Ukraine.
Biden’s goal was personal enrichment.
Obama’s goal — which Biden continues to put into effect, most notably now against Texas—was to “create reservoirs of economic power over the direction of industry, held by regulators and their privileged cronies.”
Part of why Democrats were so desperate to get Trump out of the White House was that his habit of enforcing the law and looking out for American interests disrupted this plan to control part of the world’s energy supply. (The linked article is extremely complex, although thankfully well-written, so I urge you to find the time to read it.)
In other words, even as he (or the brains behind him) is creating a crisis at the border, Biden is using that crisis to leverage the Obama policy regarding controlling LNG in a way that benefits China and other global players. (For now, Ukraine is no longer a player.)
