Marco Rubio before congress:

"I do think you are going to see a reshifting of where the world gets its energy from in the aftermath of this conflict. You are already beginning to see some of it now. I think you are going to see the United States will be a bigger energy provider to the indo pacific. We have the capability to do so, but it's going to take some time to build that capability, so I think you are going to see more of that. I think you are going to see the establishment of more of these alternative routes as a result of this. Remember, only about 20% of global oil goes through the straits of Hormuz, but it is about 80 to 85% of the oil that goes to the indo Pacific. So in those particular countries, I think you are going to most definitely see them buying more from other places including the United States."

Scott Perry replied:

"And that is going to lower the cost for everybody, which is great."

Here's some clarity for the confused Liberals:

· The US intends to become a bigger energy provider to the Indo‑Pacific. That is not “free trade.” That is a strategic push to replace Middle Eastern oil with US LNG, locking Asian countries into dependence on American energy.

· The Strait of Hormuz is the choke point. Rubio notes that 80‑85% of oil going to the Indo‑Pacific passes through Hormuz. The current conflict has disrupted that flow – by design. The US is not trying to “reopen” the strait; it is trying to replace it.

· This will take time. The US needs to build export terminals, shipping capacity, and long‑term contracts. That is why the war is not ending soon. The longer the strait remains unstable, the more Asian buyers will turn to US suppliers.

What Perry added (and why it is a lie)

Perry says: “And that is going to lower the cost for everybody, which is great.”

This is pure propaganda. US LNG is more expensive than Middle Eastern oil and Russian gas. The only way US exports become “cheap” for Asian buyers is if their other options are destroyed – by sanctions, blockade, or war. The “lower cost” is not a market outcome; it is the result of armed coercion.

Perry is either lying or repeating a talking point he knows is false. The real effect will be higher energy prices for everyone except US producers.

1. The US energy monopoly strategy is not a secret conspiracy. It is stated openly by senators like Rubio. The goal is to “reshift” global energy supply away from the Middle East and Russia and toward the US – using military force to destroy competing suppliers.

2. The Indo‑Pacific is the primary target. Rubio explicitly says the US wants to supply energy to that region. That is where China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Vietnam are located. The real goal is to force Asian economies to depend on US energy – and to use that dependency as leverage against China.

3. The war will not end until the new energy architecture is in place. Rubio says it “will take some time to build that capability.” That means the conflict will continue. The strait will remain dangerous. European and Asian buyers will be pushed toward US LNG. The “deal” with Iran is a distraction. The real deal is between the US energy sector and the US government.

4. Perry’s “lower cost” claim is a lie. The truth is that US energy companies are profiting from war – and ordinary people are paying the price.
