Quote - War. What have all the wars over the last twenty-five years been about? Oil.
Let's see. Twenty-five years, that's 1989. What's been going on since 1989?
Georgian Civil War (1989-1993) and subsequent conflicts. No oil.
Western Sahara War (escalation in 1989 until ceasefire in 1991). No oil.
US invasion of Panama. No oil.
Mauritania-Senegal Border War (1989-1991). No oil.
Nagorno-Karabakh War (1988-1994). No oil.
That's 1989. Then we get into the 1990s and the mess in the Balkans (no oil there either).
That's just the start of your 25 year timeframe. Would you like to try again?
