re: #234 Spare O’Lake

Fine. So now go ahead and deny that your dependence on ME oil is affecting your foreign policy. I give up.

Of course it is. But it’s our dependence on oil as a whole, far more than our dependence on Middle East oil. We want the Middle East to remain ‘stable’, even at the price of supporting theocracies like Saudi Arabia, not because the physical oil from their comes to us but because the oil from there goes on the global market and oil is fungible.

You apparently already gave up actually understanding what I’m saying.
