      This narrative of "usa is only after oil" is for people that are so fucking stupid that they haven't taken the time to consider the economics of war. If USA were in Iraq in 2003 because of oil you also have to explain why they wasted 2-3 trillion dollars doing it when they had domestic production that they could have expanded for 1/100th the cost.

    Love the video! However, at 10 minutes into the video, the BP Horizon disaster was mentioned as an attempt to drill one of the deepest boreholes ever. Simply not even close to true. That well was roughly 18,000'. I've worked rigs in the Gulf of Mexico that had drilled more thanTWICE that deep before that disaster. I've worked on the Deepwater Horizon, luckily not on that well.

      There are several glaring mistakes but whatever, can't be bothered to list them all. The whole co2 thing is great propaganda but....we are only at 400 ppm where earth (plant life) dies at anything less than 230ppm. When there was flaura and fauna in the north, the earth was around 700ppm but hey, why bring facts into it. (hide the decline,,,) And should I mention that the earths co2 levels ALWAYS followed the earths temp? Again, why bring facts into it.

      @Joshua N. Ajang: No. it’s actually a very common misconception. The one thing Mexican politicians can be somewhat forgiven after all their corruption is that they’ve always been weary of the U.S.A. America is much stronger and wealthier than Mexico so Mexican policy has been to put strong nationalism in its people and to not ask the U.S for anything. If anything, NAFTA was an American thing that the U.S invited Mexico in. Same with the drug war. The U.S. ask Mexico for help and has provided loans for military equipment (loans not gifts, Mexico has repaid everything back).

      @Moon Raker: Mexico didn’t built the wall. Most Mexicans actually don’t give a smelly shit about the wall. Mexicans got offended because Trump wants our tax money to pay another country’s project. If the wall is built on Mexican soil by Mexican workers being paid in pesos then we Mexicans support using our taxes. Also Mexican immigration is down 90% since 2001. Since 2010, more people go to Mexico than immigrate out. Educate yourself a little.

      The biggest lie was told in the beginning of the video. So called fossil fuels such as petroleum come from an abiotic process. This is common knowledge to insiders of the petroleum industry. Think about how much petroleum the World consumes on a daily basis, and think about how much dead organic material would be needed for such vast quantities. Why haven't we hit peak oil yet? The answer lies in the abiotic process of petroleum. Petroleum comes from the mantle of the Earth and is pushed up towards the crust.

      @@HerrXenon_ Pro tip: Whenever you think one variable can explain whole system as complex as international relations, just scrap it and say you are wrong, it saves time.
      Oil is just one factor. Just think for a moment about your own choices. How much of your choices are influence by money, how much by your family, your social circles, your political views, by advertisement, etc. You don’t make your choice solely on money calculation. You don’t just take job with higher salary, if such job is viewed as undesirable by your family or friends. You take different influences into account.
      So why would you simplify countries that are collections of millions of other individuals, all influenced by their own factors, to simple statement about oil explaining everything. Why isn’t Canada in state of political unrest or in war? Why isn’t Norway?
      Easy answers are so simplistic that they don’t hold any meaningful value.

For example when politicians make decisions they also think about threat. Threat consists of two factors. Potential, if country is strong or weak. And attitude “we are getting stronger, and when we get more power than you, we will destroy you”. Country with such attitude will obviously get more “love” from their rivals than country that wants to be friendly.
      Just by adding this one factor, and having two factors to consider 1. country with oil 2. country that’s antagonistic towards other country. You get much more accurate picture what will happen.

Also, he was born/raised in Titusville, PA. That is where the first oil well was drilled, the Drake Well. Part of the reason my dad got into the Oil industry.

    Very good presentation and a starter on petrol politics. And thanks also for keeping the trip-hop sound track on low volume. Most geopolitics type videos with trip-hop soundtracks have them cranked. Distracting and annoying! So good job on audio quality.

    Arctic oil discovered. China moves "9 dash" line and claims that it borders the Arctic Ocean.

      SilvanaDil But the thing is China claimed the SCS within their dash lines decades before oil was discovered there in the 1940s. Once oil was discovered in the SCS (1969), it was Chinas neighbouring countries that started to take aggressive military action in the SCS.

      @@yerri5567 - My point is that the "9 dash" line, viewed by many as outrageous, at least has some plausibility. I wouldn't put it past China to try something that EVERYONE would view as outrageous and implausible -- China as an Arctic nation!
