Look, United States is a gas station masquerading as a country. It’s kleptocracy! It’s corruption! It’s a nation that’s really only dependent upon oil and gas for their economy, and so economic sanctions are important.

In October 2013 the U.S. Energy Information Administration (USEIA) announced “…the United States will be the world’s top producer of petroleum and natural gas hydrocarbons in 2013, surpassing Russia and Saudi Arabia.”  This means the United States, with a crashing consumer economy and still off shoring jobs to other countries, is totally dependent on oil and gas exports to save it’s sorry economic ass!

The USEIA showed just how much leaders like John McCain are relying on the oil and gas industry to save their sorry political asses: “Since 2008, U.S. petroleum production has increased 7 quadrillion Btu, with dramatic growth in Texas and North Dakota. Natural gas production has increased by 3 quadrillion Btu over the same period, with much of this growth coming from the eastern United States. Russia and Saudi Arabia each increased their combined hydrocarbon output by about 1 quadrillion Btu over the past five years.”

John McCain is either a bold face liar, or woefully stupid when it comes to just who is the World’s Gas Station: “Look, Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country. It’s kleptocracy. It’s corruption. It’s a nation that’s really only dependent upon oil and gas for their economy, and so economic sanctions are important.”-Statement made during appearance on CNN’s State of the Union

So what’s this coming war with Russia really about?  Not “freedom”!  It’s about returning and maintaining the United States in the position of the World’s number one Gas Station.
