Thank you so much for your policies. Thank you so much for your endless regulations and laws. Thank you so much for your shortsighted incompetence. And most of all, thank you so much for your arrogance.
You have more missiles, bombs, and technology than we do, but we have more of what you really need: oil!
Instead of listening to our friends the environmentalists, instead of saying to yourself that we would always supply you with the oil you need at a reasonable price, you should have been developing your own resources. Instead of creating thousands of jobs in America, expanding your engineering capabilities, and keeping your wealth to yourself, you send us some $700 billion a year. Just imagine what you could do with that money. Just imagine how strong you would be, and how weak we would be, if you had kept that money to yourself.
As a result of these failures, we now own shares in your banks, your real estate, and your publicly-held companies. We also finance a good portion of your debt and can now manipulate your markets, currency, and economies for our benefit. In short, we own you now, and you never even saw it coming.
And you call yourself the greatest nation on earth.
Sincerely yours,
OPEC
