If their governments don’t have oil money, maybe their people will become free
Idk, still hasn’t happened in Turkey. Either way, energy independence is good I think

If we keep propping up fossil fuel based economies, economies will cease to exist

Not that we aren't gonna meddle with other countries even if our energy was all green as hell

yeah Iran won't get a seat at the big table until they acquiesce and become a state like saudi arabia.

venezuela doesn't have a hope in hell until maduro and his cronies are shot in the street

won't really matter tho, any regime only exists at the pleasure of the USA, and when push comes to shove, we'll just go take what we want, because without western investment, neither country can fully develop their resources, err uh, their Oil.

silly rabbits don't understand, tricks are for kids.

yeah, absolutely, duh! iraq wars 1 and 2, entirely all about oil. blood for oil for sure.

we just couldn't phrase it like that, because the american public is too squishy to understand that if you don't control the world's resources, then you don't control jack shit.
