What really threatens our national security was and still is all the jobs the politicians in DC allowed to go to China…when the DC politicians allowed millions of our American manufacturing jobs and technology to go to China they also gave away much of our “power”…as for restricting oil production the sooner the USA can remove itself from the dependence on fossil fuels the better…the Saudi’s, Russia, Iran and other major producers do not have our interests at the top of their priority list and there’s something threatening our national security in a major way called “global warming”…Barrasso needs to “get up to speed” with the real world.

Your analogy is spot on. Only fools believe all the hype from right wing nutcases about fossil fuels when the facts are out there proving them all wrong. They just want your hard earned money.

meanwhile Fred…nobody (including Barrasso) has said anything about the “Chinese Bitcoin Mine” set up in Cheyenne that is on the “Pentagon Radar” Pentagon officials are monitoring this Bitcoin operation that sits across from a Microsoft data center and Warren Air Force Base and the owners’ have ties directly to China and the Pentagon is concerned this “bitcoin mine operation could pose a national security threat…not a word from Barrasso (or anyone else) about this though
