The world has about a 120 year petroleum based infrastructure. It's in just about everything. The control of oil directly impacts commerce and energy. Places like Venezuela and Iran supply bad actors that are used against us and our allies.
With the rise of AI, power is more important than ever. Oil will just about always be a factor in wars...

Yes, we invaded them for oil. Even a blind man can see that.

Russia is too busy fighting the entirety of the western world via proxy in Ukraine.
China is building impressive things but many of those things are completely untested or already falling apart.
It'll be a demolition derby in the skies and on the ground. They'll get there eventually, and so will we, but not inside of ten years.

Russia building flying cars and can’t beat a piece of Ukraine.
Maybe it will run on vodka.

we arrested Maduro for several reasons, but yes... oil is one of them - but its less about money and more about control.
Venezuelan crude is heavy and expensive to refine. There's also virtually zero infrastructure, which is why their production is so low and the reserves are so high. It might be a decade before you ever see prices move on Venezuelan production, but only US O&G firms have the firepower to do it. The control piece is the short term pay. The regime was essentially selling what little they actually produce for pennies on the dollar to hostile nations and keeping the money for themselves. Things had gotten so bad that the Cubans put boots on the ground to defend the Maduro regime, China had ramped up diplomatic relations, and Iran set up a Hezbollah outpost there. It had to stop, and the oil play is the way to do it without sending in forces.

You’re actually partially correct. We did so in part to keep oil out of Chyna’s hands.
There are a dozen, strong, strategic reasons we went in.

Totally bro. It was only over oil.

You can't be that uninformed; you interact with petroleum products every day. You are probably wearing some right now.

lol, Russia, flying cars? Bahahahaha.
Also, flying cars will never happen, not because the technology won’t exist, but simply from the fact that a simple fender bender which happens thousands of times a day throughout the world is catastrophic to anything flying and anything under what’s flying.

"Invaded" is a bit of an exaggeration.

There has to be more at play that we don’t know about that prevents them from talking about the Monroe doctrine. Yes I hear them talking about drugs and oil. I think that’s just cover. I have no proof that’s just what I think.
