The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The point is to isolate China and make life tougher for them.

If China enters into the calculus at all, it is secondary.

Review Burgum's speech at the convention in summer 24. "Energy dominance" was the theme. How do you "dominate" global energy markets? By grabbing a lot of resources for yourself, and taking other people's resources off the market.

Trump the God controls access to the US' large production volume. Trump the Magnificent also controls access to most Canadian production, because it has no path to the rest of the world, other than pipelines through the US. Trump the Perfect now controls access to Venezuelan production.

Then God on Earth Trump starts a war that takes other people's production, amounting to 20% of global supply, off line.

That is how you "dominate" the global energy market.

Steve...long big oil since summer 24
