We've been in much longer and much more involved military commitments and not once has your situation occurred. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 1 point 28 minutes ago No war in modern history has shut off a supply of energy to this degree. China is literally currently holding up the world economy and is the only reason the world is not spiralling into chaos right now. They cut their purchases of oil by 40% to assist other east Asian countries almost entirely dependent on oil from west Asia. That cannot last forever. Even with China moving full speed ahead into renewables. Oil is a global commodity. The US and it's people will be just as heavily impacted as any other nation unless our government literally bans oil exports. Which this admin will not do. The world and Americans especially are very much in denial of how bad this is going to get. permalink fedilink source parent
