Doesn't matter.

Their funds support terrorists, and they do not have credibility as peaceful suppliers, regardless of their propaganda, which is going to start hitting us in a few days.

If any oil product supplier in the US provides non-Middle East products, they'll make billions of $$.

Re: their oil reserves, the ME region supplies only 13% of our requirements, which we can manage without for a few years. It won't take more than a few years of the "Anti-Terrorist Consumer" to make their wishes known, to create an attitude adjustment to those in that region, who are now heavily in debt, and will have trouble supporting their royal lifestyle and terrorism, at the expense of their populace.

What is not shown in the graphic are the reserves that emerge from oil shale and other sources.

What's the downside? There isn't any.
What are they going to do if in 5 years we need their oil after all? Refuse to sell it?

Not a chance.
There's no one else to buy the quantities we can.

Consumer Power ...

Petitions are fine, but it should soon be known that we don't need petitions, or politicians, just "vote with our dollars" ...
