I would look forward to the day when we could be like say Norway,
Yea we have one of the highest standards of living, but we are far too small to help out in your little conflict or send any serious money, but hey good luck with that…
In a way I can’t wait until we can’t afford foreign Oil, then we will finally get off that stuff or find someway to make our own suitute (and yes it can be done).
Saudi Arabia is already preparing for the day we don’t need them, they have always known (the last ten years at least) that it would at most take us five years to be independent energy wise if we were pressured. It would not be fun at first but we could do it.
