Only over Darfur and Zimbabwe.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

I fail to see how your commet applies even remotely to Darfur or Zimbabwe.

Re: "Boiling Frog" (none / 0)

It was a reference to your comment about a "neocon moment", not about the Mideast.

And as I clarified, I believe an invasion, an armed robbery against the UAE or KSA would not only be immoral but also stupid, which is why I think it might very well happen.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

But I was referring to your comment about preventing "wealth transfers to producing countries".

Re: "Boiling Frog" (none / 0)

Oh, I see.

Well, you are right that that doesn't have much to do with Darfur or Zimbabwe. I guess that's why no one has intervened...

No oil=no intervention.

Why, there is oil in Chad... And French and Swedish troops are deployed there. What a surprise.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: "Boiling Frog" (4.00 / 2)

That one was mine. I really don't see any benefit in enriching Saudi Arabia or Iraq through the primary sector.
