I think this is the first war we aren't hiding by bad guy vs good guy scenario. So lets say the US and allies get control of the oil..how do that solve dependence on it?

  They are not trying to wean off oil… the Orange pedophile regime is actually looking at paying a BILLION dollar to cancel existing wind farms so that the USA depends harder on fossil fuels

  That is the equivalent of a terminal alcoholic deciding coffee is woke and switching it with bourbon for breakfast

  Get rid of Conservatives. That’s your first step. Their regressive nature makes moving past fossil fuels next to impossible.

    Imo the two party system basically always devolves into two pro-authoritarian parties, sponsored by capital owners.

    like I’d say the “democrats” are just a GOP-light version in terms of representing and realizing progressive topics. Even in parliament systems I feel like this is an issue, greens become more and more conservative in some countries, and esp a certain middle-left party, I have in mind, is basically just doing what the conservatives want with no own agenda anymore… so in 2 party systems this overton-window shift seems even easier to establish idk

    Or get rid of Conservatives AND Democrats and let nature alone reclaim the soil.

  This isn’t about oil. This is about “Greater Israel”, zionism and the most powerful blackmail ring in the world run by Mossad and the CIA.

  The US have been a net exporter of oil since 2020 something due to domestic shale oil. The meme about US starting wars to get more oil was probably valid in 2003 but not in 2026.

  What they can do is try to cause a 1970s oil crisis in China, who is a net importer. China can and does invest massively in EV, solar and wind to reduce this vulnerability.

    Yep, even in 2003 it was about controlling/disrupting the oil markets a lot more than the US personally wanting more oil. But that’s a more difficult concept to grasp than “US wants peoples oil!” so that’s the message that spread!

  This only delays the Epstein shit not even long enough to try and salvage the midterms. Tick-tick-TOCK!

  To me it is like giving crack to a crack feind. Takes care of the problem short term

  What are you talking about? In what reality is supplying an addict with their addiction “taking care of the problem”, either short, medium, or long-term?? Obviously there’s parallels to America’s oil addiction, but that sentence doesn’t make any sense…

  It doesn’t. It’s all about maintaining dependency
