this is not about the next 2 years, you moron assholes. look at the numbers.
Rank Country Reserves (millions of barrels), 2017 US EIA
1 Venezuela 300,878
2 Saudi Arabia 266,455
3 Canada 169,709
4 Iran 158,400
5 Iraq 142,503
6 Kuwait 101,500
7 United Arab Emirates 97,800
8 Russia 80,000
9 Libya 48,363
10 United States 39,230
11 Nigeria 37,062
12 Kazakhstan 30,000
13 China 25,620
14 Qatar 25,244
15 Brazil 12,999
16 Algeria 12,200
17 Angola 8,273
18 Ecuador 8,273
19 Mexico 7,640
20 Azerbaijan 7,000

out of the top 5, #3 is our neighbor and #2 is in our pocket and surprisingly the other 3 are our enemies (one labeled socialist, one labeled terrorist and one labeled developers of WMD)
It's the OIL, stupid!

I know you are talking oil & Australia is not on your list, but....

Australia tops Qatar as world's biggest LNG exporter
Australia has overtaken Qatar to become the world's top exporter of liquefied natural gas, shipping 77.5 million tonnes in 2019 with an export value of $49 billion as the fuel becomes increasingly important in the global energy mix.

The figures, released on Monday by energy consultancy EnergyQuest, show Australia's liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments for the 2019 calendar year increased 11.4 per cent on the previous year's exports, primarily due to the growth in the Ichthys project operated by Japan's INPEX in the Timor sea.

Always amusing how the US right whingers lock on to the authoritarian Muslim regimes for maximum hate because they are so alike they can't stand it. It is like watching a loser dad and his cuntish son bicker.


"Results from MANOS and the General Social Surveys reveal that the general American population holds nearly identical levels of fundamentalist beliefs as Muslims, if not slightly more. Just over 57 percent of the general American population believes that “right and wrong in U.S. law should be based on God’s laws,” compared to 49.3 percent of U.S.-born Muslims and 45.6 of foreign-born Muslims. About a third of each group believes that society should not be the one to determine right and wrong in U.S. law. Such numbers reveal that the general American population is more fundamentalist than the average European, and that Muslim Americans are less fundamentalist than European Muslims, according to the Koopmans study."

At least the Christians realized that the Crusades were a stupid thing to do, like 800 years ago. The Islam fundamentalists have been on about it non-stop since their inception.

They are, and have been, on their own "crusade" for 1600 years now. They simply WILL NOT STOP GOING ON about how if you do not follow Muhammed, you must DIE!

Christians just simply tithe away their anger now in the modern era. Muslims use war and cannot let go their ancient ideas about their fucking God. Get over it! There is no 7th heaven, dudes! There's no virgins awaiting your martyr shit!

Just give money to your local mosque, and enjoy some ice cream once in a while! All this anger is helping nobody.

Let's not give Christians a free pass form the insanity of religion

Let's not give Christians a free pass form the insanity of religion

No sir, they do not get a free pass. But at least they gave up their murder and torture of people who did not follow their creed in this modern age.

These fundamental Islamists are still whining about their fucking Muhammed now. It's like, dudes?

Give it a rest! Christian fundamentalists gave up the inquisitions! They realized it was stupid to do that, after a time. But it is taking the muslims a lot longer to realize that their own inquisitions, or what they call the "fatwah", is bunk.

Don't think it a matter of USA importing oil from these countries as we get most from Canada.
https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=727&t=6

However, I believe our presence there is to ward off other First Tier countries from taking our position.

Be best to pull out of Bagdad and guard the oil fields. Those countries been at war before Christ was born. USA should let evil regimes exist, we go in and destroy and cost us billions to remodel then we leave and all happens again. The world has a history of not getting along, USA needs to monitor and not get involved as much.
