Since you are so eager to once gain lick the war machine’s shiny metal asshole, why don’t you just invade… BURMA?
That would be a real act of worldpolicemanship and a whole nation would be eternally greatful- for kicking out the fat kleptocratic generals.
Is there oil in Burma? Look, we do have limits so we only can liberate if there’s something there for us. We are very benevolent but there is a limit afterall. Oil is essential for western civilisation.
Hell, you’re recent ancestors were willing to go across Poland, Ukraine, and down into the Don Basin after oil. It truly is black gold.
And that is what it comes back to, American Soldiers dying for oil (corporate interests at its finest).
Wow, the Left in this country has sure captured young American minds. Since when is it a BAD thing to go after oil? Oil is what makes our civilisation possible. Is it somehow immoral for you to breathe, to eat, to live? You have to DO those things. Oil is beyond essential to us; it defines us.
Unless you want to go back to living in a log cabin and scratching at the ground for your sustenance, we need oil. Drum that into your head. Wars will and are being fought over it. It is the blood of our civilisation.
That being said: we are now supposed to respect the ‘rights’ of mullahs and morons who used to curse the oil, who thought it a curse from Allah, who couldn’t develop a viable industrial civilisation if their very lives depended on it? For those who finally stole the oil fields from the British and Americans, who had turned their goat partures into trillions of dollars?
Fuck 'em. If they won’t sell the oil (which they stole), the United States has the right to reclaim stolen assets, like any good cop should do.

Excuse me? Since when is it a good thing? Last I checked we were getting a pretty steady stream of oil, but that will definitely change once military action is taken against Iran.
And ‘stole’ oil fields from Americans and Britains? Shit, i didn’t realize that Imperialism was back in fashion, or maybe your map of America includes the middle east as outlying territories. With your knowledge of the world it wouldn’t surprise me.
Nobody stole shit dumbass. NEVER EVER bring up ‘stealing’ something like land into play. The Native Americans should reclaim THEIR stolen assets, like any good cop should!
And oil is a crutch. Give it a century and people will wonder how we could let ourselves become so dependent on a simple resource.
