Eh. It can be multiple things. The Second Iraq War was about oil, but it was also about W. having a personal grudge against Saddam. Saddam at one point tried to have Bush Sr. assassinated, and Jr. had it out for him as a consequence. Plus it was for political purposes, both to drum up the base at home and to assist Israel abroad. It was about all of those things. Wars are never caused by just a single reason. Oil was absolutely a powerful factor, perhaps the most powerful. But it’s overly reductive to simply say it was about oil. Launching a war requires getting a lot of stakeholders on board. And not everyone will have the same motivations. The Zionist faction wanted Iraq toppled to help Israel, but they have no particular concern for oil. The oil industry folks wanted Iraqi oil, but money-hungry CEOs don’t really care about throwing red meat to the Fox News crowd. Launching a big war requires a coalition, even if just the Republican coalition. Wars always thus have many motivations behind them.
The MAGA base will think anything that Newsmax, OANN, and Fox tells them. I’ve seen it happen in real time, multiple times now. They wouldn’t be MAGA still if they had any morals or critical thinking capabilities.
Trump won’t go all in just yet, just try to provoke an attack (or stage a false flag) to give pretense to crack down on their land. Preceded of course by some covert bombing to soften their SAM defenses.
Yes, but Trump forgot about that and posted this to Truth Social:
“You remember, they took all of our energy rights. They took all of our oil from not that long ago, and we want it back,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews. “But they took it; they illegally took it.”
“They took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn’t watching, but they’re not going to do that. We want it back,” he continued later. “They took our oil rights, we had a lot of oil there, as you know, they threw our companies out, and we want it back.”
I saw a screenshot of hit post, but couldn’t find it now. The quote is from here.
Trump at a rally in 2023 already said ‘we could’ve gone into Venezuela and gotten all that oil’ if he had been elected in 2020 (except of course he lied that election was stolen)

Yes you are right … regime change … so that the US can install their own puppet leader … so that the US can get to the oil
That comment’s argument had a “states rights” kind of vibe

Wowie you sure showed them
Oh they’ll install all of the rigs while doing the regime change at the same time like last time.
Lol … they’ll rig the political landscape as well as the actual landscape
Regime change is always about setting up a “banana” republic when the
isUS is involved.deleted by creator

The subject matter of the post plus your username is an excellent combination here

that right there is the worse insult anyone has ever said to me online

i forgive you
That doesnt seem to be the case at all, its all trumps idea as a distraction against the epstein file release, nice try to issue disinformation.
It’s definitely for oil. Trump already said that they are taking back the oil and mineral wealth that was stolen from him in Venezuela.
A right-winger with favorable oil policy.
Are you saying Trump lied when he posted online that this is about oil?
