    To put this another way, American foreign policy is literally subsidizing China's energy consumption.https://twitter.com/JohnQuiggin/status/1362948003141591040 …

    China is by far the world's biggest net consumer of oil, while the US is virtually self sufficient . So, why is the supply of oil from Saudi Arabia and ME generally a key US policy concern ? https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=709&t=6 …

        The alternative is to withdraw and let China become a dominant outside player in Middle East politics. They’d be fine w that, and we wouldn’t. Which means we’re really paying to maintain influence, not to subsidize china’s energy consumption, right?

        #IHopeSomeoneHereHasBeatenMeToItBut Eh, "virtually" is an adjective that's doing a lot of the work. We're "self-sufficient" in the same way that someone drinking a 256 ounce "Yuge Glug"* on ice is self-sufficient: There's much dregs to be had at bottom, by breaking up the rocks.

        256 ounce "Yuge Glug" = Made that up, but won't be surprised if that's a thing.🙃

        Bad take. The fact that oil-by-sea is vital to China (also Japan, Korea, Taiwan, etc) means that US Navy holds enormous strategic leverage with both allies and rivals in Asia because it can both protect and interrupt this flow.

        Also means it's easy to create an incident justifying violence.

        But America is an oil seller so high oil prices are in their interest.

        Really? Imagine China controlling oil production.
