Our nations impending energy independence was but a fantasy. As if to challenge us for daring to think this country was finally approaching the day when we could sever any OIC influence on our national security.

Kindly insert extensive string of uncivilized expletives here...

We need to start or blog or something to track all of these purchases in great detail.

American energy independence is impossible


Oh, yeah? Is Saudi Arabia going to take the refinery to the Middle East? And not only are we already independent, but we are becoming an exporter.

We could justifiably declare war on Saudi Arabia for waging war against us, and then seize all Saudi assets in the United States. Problem solved.

I say to ARAMCO “BRING IT”.

The proven reserves of the Bakken fields alone have more than 15X the proven and potential reserves of Saudi Arabia. And that’s not counting the Permian Basin and a number of other large proven fields in the USA.

The oil fields in the USA are owned by millions upon millions of farmers, ranchers, and small drillers. They have an opportunity to bankrupt ARAMCO and the rest of the arrogant bastards that have looked down on Americans for so long.

Make the Good Guys Rich Again.

Saudi Arabia is a terrorist nation that needs to be saving its money to pay the families that lost loved ones on 9-11-2001.

They need to pay up or we should bomb them to the stone age.

Excellent.

When the 9/11 families prove Saudi sponsorship, ARAMCO assets in the U.S. can be seized to pay them.

But they could be using their money to buy us out so that they can stop refinery production when the lawsuits start.

Then the refinery gets nationalized very quickly

Buying a refinery is NOT buying US oil assets.

In fact, it’s a bet on the US economy, i.e. that petroleum products such as gasoline will have healthy growth.

SA, et al, are only able to achieve this because the EXXON MOBILES and the rest are sellout whores, IMHO.
Same as selling Uranium resources to Russia. Selling the Uranium properties to Russia makes the Clintons traitorous whores.
