What dumb comments! We import 80% of all our oil from Saudi Arabia.


No, we do not. Since 60% of all our oil is imported, it's obvious
that we do not import 80% of all our oil from Saudi Arabia.

Most of it comes from Mexico and Venezuela, a simple side effect of
the fact that *they're closer!*

However, if you disrupt the Middle East oil production, you raise the
global price of the stuff.
