There is not much here about whether or not the US can sustain this position long term but in the short term this development puts in an advantageous position geopolitically. NATO is very reliant on Russian oil and if the US is a top producer we can export more to Europe, although Russia will most likely remain the preferred exporter. Also, this allows us to have a more aggressive stance with Saudi Arabia, especially when it comes to their disastrous human rights record in Yemen. Although the issue with that is that the current administration has shown no interest in SA's human rights record and defense contractors would lobby strongly against any sort of stirring of the relationship.
