>America defends them because of the reasons already mentioned

@🅱arD don't we have an asston of oil domestically?

why aren't we drilling?

Saudis don't have as much control of the market as they did. OPEC recently got BTFO'd by American oil production in the last two months.

Nowhere near the ammount they have

No, we have more oil than most of the Middle East actually

Kappa

We've just been regulated to hell and back

We also pay them to sell oil at prices we can compete with.

couldn't alternative energy fix this islamic mess

we have big fucking empty states

KEK

@TopHatt It is expensive and unreliable.

Solar energy is way too inefficient to fix anything as of now, same thing with wind

@Heliodromus Shingen not even close

@TopHatt True.

They have WAY more oil

and their oil is easier to access

venezuela is literally trading in rare pepes rn atm
why would we trust them

So the basically control the price of oil because of this.

Then explain how they tried to halt production in the past few months to drive up prices and we managed to keep the price the same by flooding the market back?

@🅱arD >Tfw you have more oil than saudi arabia but your economy is still so bad that people cannot afford toilet paper

Also, Alternative energy is out only hope out of this, but its just not there yet

It is actually

Nuclear

But no one knows how to manage it

It cannot generate enough energy and is extremely expensive.

I'll be genuinely annoyed if we end up trying to oust the Ass man

Because muh environmental retardation
