Good point. Lower oil prices should decrease the chance of war. Oil simply won’t be worth fighting over. Granted a war would be the way to raise prices though.

As I was driving today it occurred to me that Socialism and Communistic type nations
need oil revenue to stay afloat. "Other Peoples Money". And when they run out of
"other people money" they cannot support their system. Granted, there are
countries who are on the tipping point of full socialism but allow commerce
in order to survive, fascism.

It's like being half dead and the doctor only giving you enough oxygen to
just barely live so they have people to rule over.
