It’s so sad and depressing that the only thing that moves the needle and makes the average Unitedstater react is the price of gas.
Obviously they’re not invading other countries and killing innocent people for nothing. Who cares about other people, kidnappings in the streets, turning against your allies, as long as they can get cheap gas, there’s no problem.
Maybe the US is due to invade another country with oil, to keep its population happy.

Maybe we should change our infastructure to not be so dependent on oil to get to work or go get groceries in the first place? Once we and the EU do that, we could just completely get rid of any diplomtic ties to the middle east and just let the middle east fight, protect, and govern itself
