Wretchard over at the Belmont Club writes a very detailed analysis of the fact that it isn’t just us who depends on the oil coming from the Middle East...but the whole world!
I agree with the proposed solution, but unfortunately it isn’t going to happen like that. Rather, the opposite will be likely because 1) We’re the United States, and 2) The full impact of UNSCAM still hasn’t hit yet...but that’s coming too.
Like it or not, the US IS the world’s police force.
