> America wages a war of revenge

A war of what? Do you really believe that states wage war because of "revenge"?

> Perhaps America isn't as dumb as you think

No, they are dumber.

If this presidency was in Europe - or any other 1st world country - it would have been obliterated immediately and the party wiped out in the next elections.

> because of their strategic preparation.

lol to that.

Some folks had to be in line for gas 50 years ago, and the revenge for that is killing children? I guess "dumb" doesn't describe this. "Insane" is a better fit.

Well, the US is still dependent on foreign heavy oil for their refineries as it mostly produces shale oil (for export). So it very much isn't independent even though it looks like it when you see the numbers.

Right, like when they didn't refill the oil reserves, brilliant 4d chess.

Great, you can now help genocide defenseless children, and attack countries to cause massive disruptions to the rest of the world, without much worry. Sure great strategy to get HATED, as you should be.
