Feel free to not address my points.
#2. What is the price per barrel guaranteed in this treaty?
#3. The same question goes for the European nations.
BTW Brandioch, a quick clue: You do >>NOT<< impress anyone, or win the debate, by simple obtuseness that's clearly willful, nor by asking a question you've snipped the answer to because you can't keep track of a thought past a full stop.
You claim that we are responsible to ensure that Japan and Europe have cheap oil.
You suggest that Japan might go to war if they don't have cheap oil.
The reason I phrase things in such a simple manner is so that people like you can answer them easily.
You claim we are responsible for them. "My brother's keeper" is a term you've used.
When I ask you for specifics, you go off about how people could die if they don't have cheap oil. I won't ever bother going into the details of buying sweaters and such.
To me, they seem like simple enough questions:
Why are we responsible for their oil consumption?
At what point does our responsibility end?
Why can they not be responsible for their own consumption?
When faced with your position, boiled down to these very simple points, you attempt to swamp me in irrelevant facts about New England.
In case your education lacked where mine did not, I'll now inform you that, contrary to what the name implies, New England is, in fact, NOT in England (or Europe) but in the US.
If I'm asking why we're responsible for Europe's oil consumption, do not switch to telling me about people who might die in New England.
Europe is responsible for Europe's oil consumption.
We are NOT.
Japan is responsible for Japan's oil consumption.
We are NOT.
We are NOT responsible for ANY person that freezes to death in Japan.
We do NOT trade US lives so that Japanese retirees can save some Yen on their heating bill.
