The trump administration is the most egregious stuck on stupid government in the 21st century so far. To reach this level of radioactive skank on parade, the US (which includes me) had to fall well below what used to be our own standards.

You know what'd be great foreign policy? 100% energy independence preferably trending green. And thereto no more mideast wars. Or if we do get into one (and if our hand us forced), we no longer have to have one hand tied behind our back because of global oil markets, or the hormutz straight.

Allegedly a Spanish gov official quipped: every time the US helps other countries with democracy, it lucks out and finds oil. There is some truth to that.
