If you really think about it, most of the #wars we have had over the past 50 years have been over oil or other fossil fuels.

#Bosnia was about controlling land with gas pipelines.

#Afghanistan was about natural gas pipelines negotiated by US oil companies with the former government and the Taliban took over and didn't want to let them build. #OsamaBinLaden has to be hiding somewhere and we need an excuse to invade. He isn't there? Who cares? We will stay until the pipeline is finished. Fuck them! #LongestWar

#Lybia was about whether or not #Qaddafi a questionably benevolent dictator of an #OilRich African country could just tell America to get fucked. He was going to start also accepting Gold Coins from his #GoldRich African neighbors for oil instead of only US dollars. #DeathFromAbove

#Iraq was because of #SadamHussein a notoriously brutal dictator of an oil rich Arabian country, thought maybe he could tell #America to get fucked and he was going to start taking Euros for his oil. More #DeathFromAbove

#Ukraine has always been an entryway to Europe from Central Asia and the Middle East and it still is. That goes for for oil and natural gas pipelines. Whomever controls Ukraine gets to keep control over the flow of a lot of fuel moving in and out of #Europe. Whichever major power can install a puppet government in Ukraine controls the oil and gas supply for a big section of the world with a high demand for fuel.

This is big corporations wielding governments and their militaries like weapons so they can rob the big wealthy corporations in other countries. The wealthy

This is a fight over the US oil monopoly.

"Only trade US dollars for oil and gas or we will bring death and destruction to your nation and your people."

So now neighbors cant trade the stuff they have an abundance of locally, like gold for oil in Africa. They have to sell their oil for US Dollars. If their neighbor also doesn't have an abundance of US Dollars (because America is also robbing them) then they can't sell oil to their neighbor. The US sets the price for oil and forces them to buy overpriced goods to get rid of their dollars. These resource rich nations live in squalor and no one cares. This system of government is known as a Kleptocracy.

A huge amount of the fossil fuels we use are for #cars. They are inefficient and deadly.

If you think #ElectricCars are a way out, clear your mind of that delusion right now. #Lithium is a rare earth metal and it is highly reactive with water. It is not sustainable and we get back to the same problem of corporations under the disguise of nations, wilding militaries like a blade, and killing over resources.

Afghanistan has some of the largest known deposits of lithium. I wonder what the excuse will be next time the US or Russia invades?
