“moscow strategy because they are easier drawn into straight forward conflicts in the hot places in the world ”

A strategy that will back fire as long as we (the USA) keeps winning those conflicts.

Russia has lots of OIL so they are feeling strong. The USA has more OIL that any other nation in the world. Our OIL is just not in liquid form, so it’s expensive to process. It’s still there though and as long as the environmentalists have BOTH political parties by the balls it will stay there.
Politicians being politicians, eventually one will be desperate enough to promise to drill and mine if elected. They will win in a landslide and the USA will set about controlling the Worlds OIL supply, or at least the bulk of it.
That will put a hitch in the get along of our Arab buddies as well as the Russians. America could set a base price of 60$US pb and put the screws to the Arabs. Not that the Arabs wouldn’t sell theirs too, but they would have to meet or beat our price. The issue about OIL is it’s price, not any mythical shortages or artificial supply and demand scenarios.
