- ctdonath 5y agoCrude insult. Akin to criticizing someone for "aligning with protecting his oxygen supply".
- WarOnPrivacy 5y agoCage match. Me with no gas vs. you with no oxygen
- ctdonath 5y agoSure. You with oxygen, me with gas ... and the striker omnipresent on my keychain. You're goin' down in flames. :-)
- elevaet 5y agoI believe you mean a Light Sweet Crude insult.
- telmo 5y ago> Crude insult. Kudos if that was a deliberate joke.
- dwheeler 5y agoEvery country protects its food, water, and energy supply. Exceptions stop being countries.
- russellbeattie 5y agoWhy are you being down voted? Every major war and international crisis in my lifetime has been directly or indirectly related to US prioritizing oil above pretty much all else. From the Iranian revolution to the Gulf wars, to the terrorism our involvement in the middle east has caused, to the climate crisis and our lack of efforts to reduce consumption. Whoever called this an insult isn't paying attention.
- Edman274 5y agoEveryone freaks out about oil. Japan attacked the United States in World War 2 because the United States stopped exporting oil to Japan. It was the primary motivator behind Pearl Harbor.
