And then we go over to fight them its a giant shit show
This is why i hate libertarians
Hippies
I would argue we've advanced to the point of where monitoring and drone strikes would be perfectly effective.
That cannot see the way of geopolitik
Well, libertarians only care about personal freedoms period
That's why they tend to be insufferable
Yeah
Do you disagree that we send billions in foreign aid to Saudi Arabia who fund terrorist groups
Nope
At least Dems have perceived values of care and fairness, with Republicans advocating for authority and tradition
and dont really care in exchange for oil
Huh
a few terrorists for an nation of oil
It's true that the Saudi's absolutely fund terrorist organizations.
Yep
However we need to become self-sufficient for crude production before you can expect ties to be severed completely.
Exactly
You're advocating for funding a war to fight the terrirists while we fund the terrorists. Do you realize how stupid that is
At that point fuck the saudis
Its an exchange
And besides the saudis prop them up and we knock them down
Knock them down quite easily i might add.
It's a breath of fresh air to recognize the problems, but proposing solutions is challenging when you have the American economy dependent on the Saudi's production of crude.
We have energy surplus but not crude surplus
Different things
And while I'm all about the idea of implementing electric vehicles, we're realistically 20 years from that landmark.
25 years
It's gonna be a few decades.
So this whole thing with Trumps impeachment, I figure it out. They don't want it to go through the plan is a setup for the next election to have a slogan against Trump something with "legitimacy" something like "But do you really want to trust your freedoms future to someone who was already IMPEACHED", "Well DO YOU?!"
They don't want it to fully pass they want it to fail. Then blame the right for not following through and point to the mask they placed on Trump as a distraction from anything as, "At least we can't be as bad as the Impeached guy, mirite y'all!" (Laughter ensues from placed audience)
getting rid of the bad rap that nuclear power gets and focusing on advancing that would be an excellent first step on the way to cutting ties with Saudi Arabia
@Cobra Commander yep
Also yeah Fox
I definitely agree with that @Cobra Commander
We cant handle another senario like the 1973 opec embargo
So we use the saudis
That's one of the reasons I can't stand any talks around the Green New Deal. It's carelessly discards Nuclear energy while ignoring the abundance of energy provided, lack of carbon emissions, and independence from crude.
@Gray__Fox And yes, that's most likely their plan
@Gray__Fox well thats correct but it will backfire of course
it's entirely part of a political ploy to use the coming failure of the senate trial as a form of negative partisanship
