Yes the U.S. is Energy Independent in net energy used compared to exported. Energy is measured in BTUs, not barrels of crude oil. No the U.S. is not energy independent in that we do import energy producing products from other countries and are not able to supply all our energy producing products.

TRUTH ^^^

Kansas Cat didn't mention that most of Saudi oil is pretty sour. He'll correct if I'm wrong but I think the global oil price is based on what West Texas sweet crude is going for each day, sort of like "top lot' fur.

It's interesting how a little 7 or 8 million person country tail can wag a dog of multiple countries that have say 500 million people involved (or more)? Getting past the Biblical history of Israel, why does the modem, mostly secular Israel wield that much power. Hmmmm....???

Simple answer is they have to if they want to exist...

The Bible isn't a History book as Such;
It's "Living Word"

and God is Always Israel s protector

Many will find out the hard way

And most in modern Israel will once again, as they did 2000 years ago, and in the time of Solomon (the later years with his 700 mostly foreign wives) and the next 500 years, choose wrongly. The 10th Unblemished Red Heifer cult will make a deal with the AC to rebuild the temple and will be hoodwinked once again when they find out who will really be worshiped there. Yes, Jesus was a Jewish man but he died for all humanity, not just the "special people". And there's a lot more of us gentiles (goyim is their "pet" name for us) than them.

isnt goyim also the hebrew word for livestock?

I think its a little humorous that Israel of the bible has not happened. That nation is much larger. I thinks it humorous that Islam and Judaism both predict the destruction of the other. I find it very sad that after 20 years of war in the mideast the U.S. did not destroy the ability of Islamists to wage war. I believe it is because there is more money to be made with never ending war.

The love of money is the root.

It's money...but Deeper than that

When you look at how people treat each other when they love money more than their neighbor, is there really a need to go any deeper?

Satan is Real

It’s on Funker530…..When it’s your time, it’s your time. Crazy.

Probably true, but this ain't that. Yet.

I believe it’s just a matter of time now, until it all comes undone…
Iran is allies with Russia, Iran has been supplying Russian with drones and other military equipment for Ukraine
Russia is already sore with the United States for interfering with Ukraine
Will Russia come to the aid of Iran should the United States directly engage Iran?
Would that enact NATO to come to the aid of the USA?
China is also allied with Russia,,, will china take advantage and advance on tiawan as well as partnering with aid to Russia??
This is a realistic scenario!!!
And I haven’t even mentioned the use of nuclear weapons…
We are all just one mistake away from oblivion…

This is why the United States foreign policy is so influential…and competent leaders should be in that position.
I m worried for my kids and grandchildren…
I know GOD is in charge… but I don’t want to see them suffer because we had individuals asleep at the wheel

Wont be long now the nukes will be flying in the M.E.
The Muzzies aint scared to die.
They are always blowing themselves up.

You are correct. Biden funded Iran by lifting Trump's sanctions and giving them billions making it possible for them to fund these terrorists. Now, Biden thinks Israel should listen to him when the goal of Iran is to wipe Israel off the face of the earth?
