@vexmasina44 it still cares about the overall price of oil
Its a geopolitical tool
Geopolitical tools are always important
Global Empires need to keep themselves alive you know
America doesnt rely upon the strait to get its oil
Idk about you but control over trade routes will always be useful
not just cause of oil
@Despot Romanicus the Enslaver don't disagree but the petrodollar argument was always a bit off to me.
The strait only matters for oil not for trade
General trade bypasses it
China controlling the south china sea is an infinately more important problem for the US
why would america bomb libya just after they pushed for the gold dinar
why would america invade iraq just after they announced that they would trade oil in euros
@vexmasina44 a little country in the middle east with no friends?
Geopolitical adventurism
More Power is always a good reason
Libya wasnt going to upend the economic model of the world
Saddam launched SCUDs at it
cause they hate brown people?
If you can take it with minimal adverse consequences for you, why not
You wouldnt cause the biggest humanitarian crisis over some adventurism
@vexmasina44 neocons, am I right?
>Elites care about the mob
why wouldnt they
Also Gaddafi threatened Europe about somethign economcially if I recall
Hence why EU wanted to flatten them
The immigration crysis of 2015 was the biggest success for the right wing parties in entire western europe
And it still did fuck all for them outside of the eastern bloc
do you feel like your winning>?
The corporates are still sitting on their gilded office chairs
the right wing is using the unwashed brown masses as Mace to batter the heads of lefty libtards
Gaddafi threatening Europe economically. I'm not sure I buy that
Remember, it is the corporates who are really in charge
How would they do it?
Let me find @McFansy
They should get a bigger mace because they arnt hitting all that many if you look at their election numbers
Victories take time
the left is getting weaker by the year
Tbh Iraq already kinda made itself out to the be enemy of the world so no one really cared when it got invaded by everyone. Politically a safe invasion and Geopolitically one worth doing
They could unleashed millions of migrants from Africa onto the shores of Europe....Oh wait that was after Gaddafi got a knife enema
You dont invade nations and wast biullions over some trivial reason
not even neocons are that stupid
