Oil Wars

Just following a thread here.  Oiling the wheels of industry or the squeaky wheel gets the oil?    Energy as power is visible.

Clearly the picture is the Middle East.

What would happen if the dependency (addiction) went cold turkey?  I feel something in the word ‘Turkey’.  Perhaps answers are there.

Oil war

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
 

 

Since humanity is so dependent on petroleum fuel, many conflicts have broken out over its production and consumption.

Oil war is a term used to describe a conflict about petroleum resources, or their transportation, consumption, or regulation. It may also refer generally to any conflict in a region that contains oil reserves or is geographically positioned in a location where an entity has or may wish to develop production or transportation infrastructure for petroleum products. It is also used to refer to any of a number of specific oil wars.

No-fly zones, periodic military attacks, and threats of regime-change block peaceful outcomes, as do vilification of Saddam Hussein, pro-sanctions propaganda, and other politicization of the crisis. Though real concerns about Iraq’s security threat undoubtedly are legitimate, commercial interests, especially control over Iraq’s oil resources, appear to be a driving force behind much of the policy making.”
