The U.S. is energy-independent, and becoming more so by the day. New LNG fields have recently been discovered in the Texas Permian Basin. America is a net exporter of energy, and will be just fine with or without an open Strait of Hormuz. If the Europeans don't want to contribute militarily to keeping the Strait secure and open, then fine. Let them sit in the cold and dark, and pay 10 euros+ for a liter of petrol.

You're right that America as a nation will be in better shape that America's vassals in Europe and Asia. We're looking at the collapse of the American empire, which is something I expect many everyday Americans will welcome.

I'm looking forward to the day that the American Middle Class taxpayer no longer subsidizes Europe's social welfare programs and instead of Empire, we become Fortress America.

Yes, that's entirely understandable. I'm looking forward to the day that deep state US think tanks and NGOs stop pushing wokeism everywhere under the direction of a certain minority!
