ORIGINAL: WinsomeDefiance In reply to Greta, America isn't as dependent on Middle East oil as is commonly believed. Yes, there was an export ban on domestic reserves in 1975, but that was lifted in 2015(?). America has been sitting on our countries reserves for 40 years, and there was an ungodly amount of unrefined oil sitting in storage tanks for no other reason than America feared being too dependent and being cut off. The Pope is the figurehead for millions of Catholics worldwide. It would be nice if our country, already fighting in the streets over politics , didn't add religion to the mix. But that's precisely what I said! US will keep good relations with Middle East so that they can deplete Middle East Oil Supply. They don't want to touch their own at all UNTIL Middle East is fully depleted and at their mercy.
