America has as much petro and natural gas reserves in it's own territory as Russia, so paying any price the Russians may impose is purely voluntary on our part for putting the progressive leftist traitors in charge of the US government.
However, Russia does have the power to punish Europe's Socialists, Fascists, Aristocrats, and Ruling Elite. How many Americans and how much of their tax money should we send to Islamicize Europe?
...or when an Islamoterrorist organization launches a Russian nuke at America.
Good thing we don't need to worry about Pakistani nukes.
The trouble is that for all the shale oil, boom talk, US recources have not created a supply/demand effect on market energy prices. That may be a result of US policy, but it is moot to the American worker who pays close to $80.00 now for a fill up. The Pakistani army is supplied by China, why would American Interest not be worried about that? Do you believe China is America’s ally?
