Question by serenely, soMEone: If Taiwan were producing 90 million barrels of top-notch oil per day, would we have gone in? WAIT!!…?
Hear me out:
I’m not talking about “rich oilmen” killing innocents, here.
I’m talking about global starvation in the wake of any sizable shortage of oil.
Fact is, without cheap, abundant, transportable energy reserves, there WILL be mass food shortages, even here in the US. I’m not sure why we don’t tap the huge reserves outside the mid-East but that’s a different question.
About 22 years ago, a movement rose up in Taiwan crying for independence. Since only thugs were behind it, it’s fortunate for everyone we never sent bombers. In 1947, there was a mass slaughter of 30,000. At the time, China no seat at the U.N.
Even then, DC didn’t go in.
There are fewer than 7 million people in ALL of Libya.
In Taiwan? 23 million.
Unconfirmed reports are that 16 people have died in Libya.
Taiwan? About the estimates are from 10,000 to 30,000.
Yes, the world needs oil to plant, harvest and distribute food. Or, at least, it needs energy of some kind.
MAIN QUESTION: Why can’t we just be honest about it?
