but your point about SA will only stand for so long, like i said , the problem with a country that relies on oil for its wealth is destined to have problems sooner or later. Non-renewable ftl
OK by that reasoning then how would the US fair if the entire middle east said "fuck you get your own damn oil"?
Not very well really since we would be forced to use our "100 year reserves" when the country in question has something like a 400+ year reserve once they cut out the largest purchaser of oil.
I don't think you quite understand how reliant we are on oil as a nation...I mean I am sure you know it but I don't think the extent of dependency is something you really grasp. Something of this nature would stand the chance to financially destroy this country especially at this point and time in history. As it stands the US is hurting and it would only take a few more crippling blows to drop the country to it's knees in a manner of speaking.
