The Mideast supplies Asia and Europe, we have our own oil.
You do realize the US imports 9ish million barrels/day?
We burn 20, produce 9.5ish, and about 2 is refinery gain and reshipped products.
We burn 9 that didn’t come from the US.
Get used to this math. It defies propaganda, conservative or otherwise.
Oil is fungible; until recently we relied on imported oil the price of which was set by SA and bought in dollars.
