1. Even oil was in experimental at one point.
2. I do travel however you can't go into Iran or Syria unless you are citizen
3. You don't travel because you are at almost 100,000 posts.....sounds like you don't get out much.

1. Oil's been used for thousands of years.

2. therefore...?
3. More pointless banter. I have several passports. All filled. Stop it.

1. Oil has been used for 200 plus years.
2. You don't understand you can fly in Syria or Iran. Know international law first.
3. Son you are a pathological liar. You make up shyt as you go.

You want solutions that are final.

The world doesn't work that way.

Thats what you all fundamentally don't appreciate about international relations.

This is about continuous involvement and the moving of pieces on the board.

This is not about finding some total solution to a complex problem.

Government is about governing. Its about management over time.

This isn't a work project.

Not one god damn word of this post was spent justifying our last 15 years in the Middle East

We both know the truth. You are weak and you need the US to bully people to feel better about yourself. There's no other explanation for your geopolitical views

Does the word "assert" exist in your vocabulary?

Because its literally what nations do.

This isn't Portugal.

There's asserting and then there's what we did in the Middle East

You can support the concept of American geopolitical strength without pretending like the only mistake the US makes is not being aggressive enough.

Ive criticized US foreign policy hundreds of times.

And you're nowhere to be found, ironically

Be consistent.

The book is noted at 1890. So where are you getting thousands of years from?

I'm asking you. Send links to things from Persia, China, Japan, Greece. These things were known already however the oil was used for certain usage not for everything in society and the people weren't being taxed for it.
