The last time there was a local tyrant who invaded his neighbor over oil rights, there was an international coalition that kicked his ass back to Iraq. The only mistake was that we didn’t round him up.
“This whole war is about oil.”
Well Ukraine certainly made sure that Russia had PLENTY of reasons to invade, other than oil.
...and just think, if Ukraine had simply called off their Nazis in Donbass, allowed Russian to be an official language there, not tried to join NATO, and not tried to join the EU, then many here who believe Ukraine goaded Russia to attack them wouldn’t have anything to stand on...and we just might then think that oil was the only factor.
