And forn ask the talk about no blood for oil during Iraq and Afghanistan, we've done very little to improve our access to foreign oil. If anything we just doubled down on drilling and fracking at home to make up the difference.

It doesn’t mean the regular citizens get access to the oil supply to lower prices. It just means that rich ass people from wherever are going to continue hoarding the wealth selling that oil wherever. Any threat to the current power structure that would put any of the wealth attained from energy exports incites violent American military intervention. ****ing ISIS and Al Qaida my ass. All they are is a threat to control energy wealth. ****ing 9/11 and we invade Iraq. That’s like invading Indonesia after Pearl Harbor. It’s about selling the war machine and oil and keeping the super elite unchallenged. The rest is bull**** propaganda. Be for ****ing real. There’s not a drop of sincerity or concern for humanity in our foreign policy.
