        Casus Belli to kill 10x more, destroy homes, displace 1.5M, cause humanitarian catastrophe. Damn sometimes I wonder who’s worse in this conflict.

          the causes belli is why you declare war, what happens next is the war itself. you dont need the gas to have a causes belli.

          i would be glad to hear how you would conduct a war against a terrorist organization without causing additional harm

        Yea, it does. And?

        How many times are we expected to surprised pikachu after America shows sudden interest when oil is discovered in a region.

          It wasn’t exactly discovered recently. How about we take your statement and flip it a bit: Could be that this is the only way the US knows for making money overseas.

            Well the US is also currently salivating at exploiting the shit out of Argentina once the new guy starts selling off large portions of the government.

            The US has a pretty diverse exploitation portfolio.

    O&G once again is the key driver behind foreign policy around the world: the US in the Middle East, China in the South China Sea, Israel in Gaza…

    The renewables transition cannot happen quickly enough.
