But we aren't becoming more oil dependent? We're actually becoming less oil dependent between the green energy movement and the fracking thats been booming in the US we're becoming less and less dependent on the middle east for oil which is why OPEC was flipping their lids a while back because the US was competing with them and winning.
The "war" for oil is not about being more or less oil dependent. Is not about american cupcake to be able to buy cheap oil from petrol station. It's about control on global resources. Control the resources and you control the world. You are talking about fracking. Indeed fracking was booming past years and the result was the oil price to drop. Some may think that the only goal was to provide lower prices/galon for americans. But I think that the real goal was to affect Russia finances. And this is cool. I want USA to control the world. If USA wouldn't do it someone else would. And maybe USA has some flaws but damn...I chose USA anytime over Russia or China.
As it has no real affect other than venting my frustrations with the situation, this will be my only post on the subject but reply if you will I might take a glance and shrug it off. My opinion on the situation is that trump shouldnt have launched the missles. He should have investigated the full situation of syria rather than just what the media is saying. I believe there was no chemical attack against the rebels. I personally feel this is all an attemp from the media to attack syria. I believe they have an agenda against the middle east. I also believe that even if there was chemical warfare used, it is none of our business to bomb syria. The reasons I think that I will now touch over below. 1. There was no chemical attack used against the rebels. The reason I believe this is Assad has no reason to use chemical weapons other than to stir up trouble in the west. The rebels are a smear stain compared to what they once were and chemical weapons would not be needed to ensure victory. As the ex syrian embassador for the UK said, "Assad isn't mad" he wouldnt just stir up the west pointlessly. Hes cruel and has a strict and unwestern regime but he isn't stupid. Who wins a war vs the country that spends the most money on its millitary and is growing more and more islamaphobic by the daily? Certainly not a middle eastern islamic country. 2. I believe the media has an agenda against the middle east because they know they can use their influence to whichever side they prefer in syria and they know that people will be too sympathetic to children dying to chemicals to pay attention to the bigger picture. Experts believe that the sarin gas may have came from the rebels stashing chemical weapons as Assad was attacking weapons basses. 3. Lastly, even if chemical weapons were used, we dont like either side of the weapons. The majority of the rebels are radicolised and Assad has a horrible dictatorship regime. We dont want either side of this war to win. Ideally they should all die for our ideals. We arm the rebels and what we're really doing is following the same mistakes as iraq. We bomb their airbases, russia is going to get mad. Theres no winning by involving ourselves, we are just creating more enemies that we dont need. Trump has shown nothing except that Putin owns him. But now Trump wants to prove hes his own man by bombing syria. That's what's really happening. Someone that over reactive to reports that havent been properly investigated cannot be trusted to run a country. Or with nuclear codes. Trump should not be president of the usa. Ps fun little facts, the drone strikes Obama started miss their targets 90% of the time and trump has increased the drone strikes by over 400%. The missles were targetted in mostly civillian areas, he didnt do anything actually affective with these missles. All he did was commit mass genocide. Have a good day, hope this was legible.
On any military attack i ask myself if i trust and believe any govt let alone never the media. So that said i'm not convinced the whole truth and nothing but the truth is known. The lemmings and sponges will disagree with me i am sure but idc tbh. Transparency is not the case here and it rarely is. Always there is another agenda keeping the public ignorant. Let the warmongering continue SNAFU. Someone said the earth was flat and ppl believed it...stupid in stupid out.
And you think Russia wouldn't reply in kind. Calm heads people. Hit heads just get ww3 for very little reason.
America has been at war for the past 15 + years. Our troops are low energy from it all, and we aren't the same military might that we were yet. Iran and China would both back Russia. Do we really want to know what that'll look like?
I doubt China would back Russia or America. China has far to much business invested in both to choose a side. In the end a war won't happen conventionally, it would stay in Syria with Russian backed Syrian forces and American financed rebels. A proxy war. Neither nation would be willing to go into a full out conflict with the other because of each nations nuclear arms. Despite all of the technology that goes into air defense cruise missiles are extremely hard to shoot out of the shy despite their payload. A war with North Korea and America will probably be the next actual conventional war. Especially with how North Korea is angering China and Russia, and testing America. Though that war would only happen when the US knows the Chinese government would not step in to protect that nation.
I'm not wanting to test Russia to find out the definitive answer on whether they would or not. Putin is not someone I'd want to meet in a dark alley.
Ex-KGB, he's probably done stuff to prisoners mortal men can't even dream of. Also black belt 7-9th dan in judo? Plenty scary to me! Lol
With the story evolving, after the us talks with Chinese leaders, SK & China ally themselves against NK, trump shows he's willing to act more & suddenly gets more support against NK who are 1 of syria's closer allies while trying to insure more control of resources & geostrategical positioning..i'm def thimking this has stuff all to do with chemical attacks now...especially coming from a country like the US that are one of the few countries in the world who are prepared to nuke civilians as demonstrated previously. Funny many Americans are so righteous when from an outside perpective most countries populances see the US as warmongers, propaganda pushers, armsdealers & greedy, even among capitalists. As much as many Americans like to deny this they don't realise they're being spoonfed bs by their own government & media, ofc u can talk about tinfoil hats all u like while most of the the world sits there while laughing or crying over the ignorance which is abundant & dangerous in the US currently & in the past. Smh America, u act like one of those teen girls who is hated by every1 & says every1 is just jealous of them, they never even consider they are the problem lol
Let me stop you before you get ahead of yourself, nuke civilians as demonstrated previously, oh i forgot Japan was just a bunch of flower holding hippies during ww2 they didn't invade countries and slaughter other cultures, you obviously have zero idea WHY those nukes were dropped. warmongers or the world police because whatever country you're from is too inept to do anything and can't do anything when it comes to world safety you'd rather hide behind the big bad Americans while we do your dirty work. Propaganda pushers, you mean every country. arms dealers you mean a country that sells weapons that other countries willingly BUY not even to mention the MANY weapons companies outside of the US that also supply weapons, but i guess thats just big bad America. and greedy even among capitalists? I didn't realize capitalists had a limit on something before other capitalists begin to think thats greedy, or maybe its jealousy. You can laugh all you want but you'll be the first one in line with your hands out saying "Please Sir, can I have some more?" Problem how? Assad uses chemical weapons on his own people how are we the problem? NK has labor camps meanwhile 95% of their population is starving and they threaten to nuke other countries daily but thats our fault too. I bet you've never even volunteered in your entire life or done any kind of service to benefit your community let alone your country or the world. Pipe down child
So if Germany nuked New York because of D-Day you wouldn't say they nuked civilians? You would say, 'Americans weren't flower loving hippies' Lmao. The double standard is strong in this one. Yes Japan did terrible things- to prisoners and other countries. One of the nukes was dropped on a CIVILIAN CITY, purely to demoralise, not for defeating enemy soldiers, that is definitely a war crime and its a shame using nuclear weapons isn't a retrospective crime.
