All for walls, not so much for isolationism
usually hasn't worked out, historically
Cause we changed our minds, the policy itself works but the investment class loves war
no like
It usually fucks over the country practicing it
and American prosperity's biggest kickstart was as a result of WW2
Honestly,i think we should completely pull out of the Middle East and just let them kill each other
Let Iran and Saudi Arabia destroy each other
No need to get involved
Every time we intervene more problems are created
there is if you don't want the oil market, and by extension the global economy, to get fucked up
We have oil in the us, Canada, and Venezuela. All that Middle East oil is unnecessary for the us
But the US dollar is tied to the oil market
So buy gold and property and you will be good
That's not how the economy works
If they stop producing oil, the price of oil will go up
Doesn't matter that we produce our own
People outside the country will want to buy it
So the price will go up
Our market isn't a closed system.
Don't get me wrong, I'll be first in line advocating that we cut ties with the Saudi's when oil isn't the main source of energy anymore
Or we could burn coal and sell oil at a huge profit and use the proceed to build a ton of nuclear reactors
You can't put coal in a car
last I checked
True but we have enough oil to power cars just not enough to prove power to the country
I do see a huge potential in hemp oil and geothermal energy
Nuclear powered cars for the win
Wind farms are ugly as shit though
They have them all over texas ok cattle ranches
The cows don’t mind
Again, it doesn't matter that we produce enough for ourselves
If supply drops elsewhere, the companies will sell more outside
Well we can get Venezuela back online for oil production, the prices are too low to make viable
But if we move beyond oil, then we avoid all the this bs the Middle East
It will involve quite a bit of trade protectionism
The neoliberal economic model will be discarded
