GE sold ball bearings to Nazi Germany. We sold grain to communist Russia through most of the Cold War. Welcome to the real world.

What would happen if we lost the oil isn't "some economic pain" it's a complete and total collapse of America, it would be turning us into a 3rd world country. Nothing in this country, absolutely NOTHING at any level, happens without oil. We move our people with it, we move our product with it, we power Free Republic with it. No energy means no America. Oil is by far our biggest source of energy and won't be replacable with any other at level sufficient to keep America working for decades.

Krushev said he'd bury us. Don't EVER think that ANYBODY is stronger than America. We've taken on all comers and these sandrat terrorists will lose too. Betting against America is stupid, as the previous incarnation of your own country proved quite thuroughly.

Ummm, maybe you not notice, one: Saudi Arabia not only oil source in world, plenty others, two: you sit on enough oil to run own country instead of being Arab whores.
