America has spent the last few decades in the middle Eas to secure the last of the world's Oil, that's obvious now isn't it. The jews are just an extension of the US military. They do what the US would be doing anyway, dividing the arabs and weakening them.

The world has no shortage of oil, the only limiting factor for the foreseeable future is whether its extraction is profitable. America is also not only self-sufficient when it comes to oil production, courtesy of the Permian and other oil shale basins, but was actually (until production dropped this year due to an OVERABUNDANCE of oil) the world's largest oil exporter.

That said I will don't disagree with you saying the IDF is just an extension of the US military, but I think it would be more accurate to say both are the tools of the same global cabal of oligarchs and banksters.

You say that like it's a small thing. When oil costs $200 a barrel about fuckall of the common man is going to be able to afford anything but totally essential travel. As it goes higher it won't be affordable at all. Unaffordable gas is the same as no gas.

Again, I don't disagree with that in any way, but the American government doesn't give a shit about the common man, and they sure as hell didn't invade the middle east for the good of the average American. Profitable oil ≠ Affordable oil. Like I said, we've never in history had more oil available to us and yet it remains near all time high prices to the average person due to profiteering.

I don't disagree that the rest of us are fucked, my point is that that is not why America is in the middle east.

Our economy doesn't work without cheap oil. I didn't mean to imply it's altruistic.
