We were not kissing Saudi ass, they were always our ally against OPEC. And in as far as the US sucked big oil dick it was not for the benefit of foreign oil giants, but our own Oil funded billionaires who have their tentacles in government. They brainwashed you with the lies that we are invading oil rich countries to save America from OPEC but in reality it was simply to enrich the billionaires who had those riches deposited directly into their coffers. The oil wars are not about oil dependency, they are simply about conquest. Oil is easy to sell, that's it.

We always had a strategic oil reserve, we still have massive oil fields in alaska that can't be touched, and alternative fuels are far easier to utilize than you have been lead to believe. Just because they "corroborate" their claims by manipulating the price of fuel at the pump to go along with their lies does not prove the claims that we are at the mercy of OPEC and crude prices are our master.

Destroying the environment forever is not a viable solution to any problem, big or small.
