More fuelishness
Some are concerned that buying military air refueling tankers from a foreign power will have a harmful effect on our national defense and security. It certainly raises some interesting issues for consideration, so let me see if I've got this straight:
We import the oil from foreign powers so we can make the jet fuel our planes will use.
We borrow money from foreign powers so we can buy the oil from other foreign powers so we can make the jet fuel our planes will use.
And now you're concerned about our national security?

But yeah depending on a foreign power is bad apparently.
Somewhere the early 20th century is missing their idiot.
