The Real Reason the United States Is at War with Iran - William Spaniel

[TexasTowelie]

The White House has failed to clearly articulate a reason for the war in Iran, leading much of the online commentary to question whether the underlying goal is to distract from U.S. domestic politics. Today's video tries to fill the void by examining the national security situation from the Pentagon's perspective, using the logic of crisis bargaining theory to adjudicate the sense of some of the explanations. What you want to do with that information is up to you...

1. Venezuela and Iran are number 1 and 3 in oil reserves, Saudi Arabia is number 2. Venezuela nationalized their oil in

the 70s and threw out the U.S. energy companies, Iran had done something similar way back in 1954 and during the 70s Saudi Arabia renegotiated their U.S. energy company contracts. Some of us remember the gasoline crisis of those days.

Now remember that the U.S. energy folks gave Trump a billion dollars. Is that why Venezuela and Iran are targets of this administration, for control of their oil?
