I don't really know, but I enjoy the topical rants we go on, whether it's beans, stroganoff or whatever - it's fun.
The oil shit has mostly been on point though
For the record, the US has been oil independent for around the past 10ish years or so, since our fracking boom. We're still vulnerable to global price fluctuations, but when it comes to strategic necessity, we don't actually need overseas oil, and probably never will again.
So, it was fairly accurate propaganda at one point, about 20ish years ago perhaps, but things do tend to change given enough time.
