Peak Oil, The Coming Wars And and Worst Decade Of Humanity
How we are about to repeat the folly of Iraq’s invasion and fail our kids again
The U.S. is scared shitless that it is about to be yesterday’s hegemon as global oil production starts to seriously decline from its peak on November 2018 and forges unlikely alliances between U.S.’ perceived foes and some friends.
Oil, the master resource that fuels America’s Godzilla-like appetite for finance, profit and growth, is about to get progressively more scarce. The last time oil got scarce we invaded Iraq to free its people (I mean its oil). We are repeating that mistake, but Russia is not Iraq, and along with China, represents a huge economy, backed by Russian oil and 1.4 billion Chinese souls.
Godzilla is about to be taken down because Godzilla requires more energy than anyone else. And when Godzilla goes on a resource rampage all bloody hell breaks loose.
Although mainstream media likes to portray the war in Ukraine as a good versus evil struggle, this is not Sunday morning G.I. Joe cartoons. All the armchair generals supporting this war whether rooting for a counter-attack by Ukraine or hoping for Russia to take Bakhmut will be better informed if they read even a few pages of Chris Hedges’ book The Greatest Evil is War.
