It really won't hurt us too bad. We don't buy that much oil from Russia and as long as OPEC still takes the US dollar, our economy won't just crash instantly as you say. Plus we have 700m barrels of oil in reserve, which is about 1-2 months of oil imports.

Oil [ ]
-38.8% Domestic
-19.6% Latin America
-15.1% Canada
-12.9% Persian Gulf
-10.3% Africa
-3.1% Other

You are clearly not aware of the enormous reserves that the U.S has, not to mention we are self sufficient. The only reason we dont use our oil is because the government is greedy and rather use someone elses oil rather than their own. It has been a debate for decades on why we should use our own oil considering we have such an enormous reserve,and have found new oil deposits in our own country , not to mention Canada and Mexico are great exporters of petroleum. You really need to study a bit more.

Even with the facts u have said, the U.S. still at the end of the day rather not use their own oil, and its not so much about the oil its more so about dominance and Russia thinking they can 1 up the U.S. which is very naive of them.

You guys don't understand. This is not about oil, it's about financial dominance. Once again google petrodollar and watch the video of my sig as many of you haven't

please watch the video of my sig

when iraq changed it's currency from dollar to euro ........ us invaded
when libya tried to deny the dollar and establish gold based currency ...... us invaded
iran is trying to pull of sales from dollar.... bombarded by propaganda
russia pulls oil sales from dollar ...... what do you think?

I see the pattern and i get what u are saying but its more complicated than that, those contries had other problems the U.S. had to deal with as well, the currency thing was just icing on the cake.

The United States has about 26.5 billion barrels of oil (That's not including our reserves & Untapped btw). BILLION. The United States has a reserve at four sites on the gulf of Mexico with a total capacity of 727 million barrels of crude oil. As of April 2013 we can produce 7.2 million barrels per day. Russia is NOT a huge supplier of our Oil..not even close. The only reason we don't use our own oil is because of two reasons. Money and the fact that nothing last forever, why ruin what we have why not save up as much we can and when shit like this happens we will be fine lol.

Now onto the fact of going to war with Russia. If we went to war with Russia one must remember we are the greatest Naval power in the world, We have the most planes, Warships and other technologies. The only thing they beat us at is manpower...But if you ask me. I'm more worried about the damn warships they just sent to aid South Korea. That is a bigger deal then some country throwing a hissy fit

explain what other problems these countries had with the USA?

because here we see rumsfeld shaking hands with saddam hussein some years before the invasion
You must be registered for see images

and here you have gaddafi with obama
You must be registered for see images

khatami (president of iran before mahmoud) and kerry
You must be registered for see images



what these pictures show is that there is no problem between the US and these countries, in fact, there is friendship.
when they change their currency they get ****ed and bullied by the US.
so what are the "other problems the us had to deal with as well"??

I'm sorry I'm offending you but it pisses me off when someone calls me ignorant and shows ignorance himself, so you're a ****tard.

The US doesn't need oil, Saudi Arabia which is an American ally has enough oil to give to everyone until 2040 as proven by some statistics and studies.
what the US needs is oil exporting and importing countries to accept the dollar as the only payment for gold because since the bretton woods agreement was closed there is nothing giving value to the dollar other than the petrodollar which is this thing that makes everyone pay oil in dollars rather than in any other currency and when you disagree with this policy you get invaded just like libya or iraq or iran in the future.

I shall let you bask in your own statements. Also please don't confuse the PETRODOLLAR and PETROCURRENCY. They are two different things.

Russia has nuclear weapons the U.S. having the more and better weapons means nothing, yes the U.S. have nuclear weapons also the most in fact but that would mean a nuclear war, i highly doubt Russia will let the U.S. beat them in a war when they themselves have nuclear weapons...the russians are just bold like that, im sure they would risk their lives just so the U.S. don't win, but all that aside there will be no war because they will use nuclear weapons as way to deter the U.S.

It's really just a bunch of power hungry idoits trying to see who's dick is bigger. It's like I said I'm more worried about North Korea, here you guys sits throwing fits over the oil when we have a much bigger problem. A crazy fat shit head with a TON of nukes.

Not so much as problems with the U.S. but the U.S. being the self appointed world police while these other countries had a lot of problems within their own country, which was for the world to see and like i said the U.S. is the world police those in fighting problems gave the U.S. a real reason to invade those countries under the guise of the oil dilemma.

Well true but I find North Korea lee threatening than the Russians who have a high abundance of pride, North Korea has a bunch of nukes true but they arent as bold enough to use them especially knowing if they do the world would basically end because the U.S. nor Russia will sit and let themselves be nuked so all of the nuclear powers will fight thus destroying the world but as i have said North Korea isnt as bold to start something like that.

Really? North Korea has sent out drones, they have done so much shit behind the scenes. North and South Korea fired hundreds of artillery shells into each other's waters in late March you know. War with Korea will happen sooner than Russia. Considering the US just deployed 2 MORE Ballistic Missile destroyers to Japan to help against North Korea...that makes a total of 7 of these things. If you don't know what those are.. They serve as both defensive and offensive ships. They have systems that can track missile launches, and their SM-3 missiles can zero in on and take out short- to medium-range missiles that might be fired at U.S. or other allies. They can also carry Tomahawk cruise missiles, which can be launched from sea and hit high-value targets or enemy weapons systems from very far away, without risking the pilots or aircrafts. That is a big thing you know. A very big thing


Now you tell me we are more worried about Russia atm. I mean sure Russia is gonna become a problem sooner or later lol. Just right now? Not sooo much. Oh and Mickey Rooney just died.. ;_;
