We are not dependent on other countries oil now... we do this in an effort to conserve our own oil reserves... NOT out of necessity, but because we learned during WW2... if an army cant move it cant fight. And if you think for a minute that if given the chance that if Russia or China spotted a large enough weakness in our defense they wouldn't come and kick our ass still then you live in a dream world. Ask the folks in the Ukraine if Russia will take advantage of an opportunity or not. 
Thats not a Republican or a Democrat thing... its a US government thing.
THAT is why we compete with RUSSIA and CHINA to buy up and use all the oil in the middle east first.  |
It's called the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It's less about using everyone else's oil and more about ensuring the US has enough oil to wage war in the event our oil supply is cut off.
