Eventually it may sink in for those who don’t know it that the United States doesn’t run the world anymore and isn’t particularly well liked by much of it. Higher gas and heating oil prices this winter should — since nothing else will — help to educate them.
Well Democrats are certainly trying to make matters worse. Let’s all proclaim Saudi Arabia and the UAE our “non-friends” who committed a hostile act against the US according to the white house press secretary and 3 house Democrats introducing a bill for such. That would learn them “A”rabs I suppose but the reason isn’t concern for US citizens wallets, it’s midterms. Gee thanks Democrats for nothing as usual but poking the bear you woke up again.

Take out China and India and that is about 3 billion.
Putin’s nuke posturing is a huge problem for the rest of the world.
