Come on dude yer smarter than this.
in 1949 did we know there was a finite amount of oil, or how important it would become?
Were there for Oil. .... there IS a FINITE amount of oil out there. Aint nobody making more of it. It is in the national interest to make sure we have a strong foothold in the door of the oil sales office. That means we gotta play games and basically use those idiots over there and be thier friends one minuit then bomb them the next.
Yah, there is oil in alaska. Why the HELL would we use that first? Best to use to global supply first then move to ours if necessary after that is all gone.
Once there is either NO OIL left over there, or we offload america from requiring oil, then we will be out of there faster than you can say "blow that jihad out yer ass chumps"
the result of playing that area of the world like a bunch of idiots is that we are bound to make enemies. Sooner or later one of them is gonna attack us, but the damage they can do is not nearly enough to stop us.
Think of this. Does new york have enough farmland to support the city? No. They must bring the food into new york via shipping/freight which require gasoline which is derived from Oil.
Say we dont play the sandbox and they decide they want to start charging us more. Oil doubles or triples in price, Gasoline jumps to 6-8 dollars per gallon. EVERYTHING will instantly be more expencibe vecause EVERYTHING needs to be shipped. People will have a hard time affording gas, they will lose thier jobs, the economy will start to crumble and eventually collapse in ruins.
Then what of america? what is the day to day existance like? That is where things get very scary. This wonderful existance we americas so enjoy will basically be gone, it will be far more dog-eat-dog. Millions of people starving to death, and that wouldnt be the worst of it either.
Sure other countrys can survive on 6 dollars a gallon, those countrys developed with higher priced gas and thier economic infrastructures work with that price.
Ours wont.
So simply getting up and leaving the sandbox isnt exactly an option untill we drain those fuckers dry, or we find another source of energy.
as far as the whole idea that the war is about oil that is 100% correct. However, more people focus on the fact that there are some people who are made billionares because of the war on oil, but they seem to be blinded right at that spot and dont take into account what the lack of oil, or high gas prices could do to america.
America FTW
