[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I didn’t say protecting our interests. I said protecting our investments, in countries where me made enormous sacrifices in blood and treasure to protect our allies. I speak of Western Europe, Eastern Europe and South Korea specifically.

But protecting oil, the lifeblood of the global economy that sustains our way of life, is a worthy pursuit as well.

I agree with you to some extent, just not 100%. Isolationism is just as reckless as unchecked interventionism. That’s just the way I see it.

How many died in south Vietnam for nothing? As far as oil goes we have more oil in the continental US than all of Saudi Arabia it just coast more than 10 cents a barrel to extract.

A very good book to read is Big Oil & Their Bankers In The Persian Gulf: Four Horsemen, Eight Families & Their Global Intelligence, Narcotics & Terror Network Dean Henderson (Author). This book will show you who is truly running our foreign policy.
