Try thinking beyond point B from point A. Do you honestly think a country like Iran or Venezuela (either one supported by Russia) would give a hoot about losing America as a customer when their intent aligns with this administration’s intention to bring America to her knees and convert Her to socialism? What better way to hold the United States hostage to, oh, say, nuclear proliferation demands or annhilating Israel than to threaten to walk away from any obligation in the Gulf?
