What the world sees

is an American public ready to send its kids to die in Trump's war but that suddenly gets cold feet when the price of gas goes up a dollar a gallon.

Oh, and by the way. If we are the world's leading producer of petroleum, that is, if we are truly independent of all others, then why should our energy prices be tied into overseas issues? Could it possibly mean American capitalists are willing to let Americans walk to work while they make obscene profits selling American crude to Europe and Japan?

Oh yeah, I've heard all the business major excuses; "But OUR oil is tied into the GLOBAL market. We can't control the price...". Yeah, right. He who can destroy a thing controls a thing.
