50 years ago America got brought to its knees by a Middle East oil crisis. There was mass fuel rationing, nationwide laws passed for mileage and speed limits, and everyday citizens felt the pain acutely. In response, America developed a massive oil industry with cutting-edge technology and is now the largest oil producer in the world, by far. Now, 50 years later, America wages a war of revenge but they know they aren't going to feel the same pain they felt 50 years ago because of their strategic preparation.
Perhaps America isn't as dumb as you think. Perhaps it was the rest of the world that didn't make plans for the future?

Right, like when they didn't refill the oil reserves, brilliant 4d chess.
Great, you can now help genocide defenseless children, and attack countries to cause massive disruptions to the rest of the world, without much worry. Sure great strategy to get HATED, as you should be.
> America wages a war of revenge
A war of what? Do you really believe that states wage war because of "revenge"?
> Perhaps America isn't as dumb as you think
No, they are dumber.
If this presidency was in Europe - or any other 1st world country - it would have been obliterated immediately and the party wiped out in the next elections.

lol to that.
