Is linked to control & theft of oil. 6bn recently is now 7bn population & there is a World Government in place of National Governments, if struggling, grabbing dwindling oil to restrict sale officially, yet making a buck, very lucrative. Drug control in Afghanisran was also convenient along the way of taking oil rich countries to World control, big oil leak. The US think great wealth is to be made in the name of God before destruction.
Speaking as one over familiar with God, he repeats, I think, my cause being holy that Iran's Government are better left in control of oil prices. Oil exports are not well left to a country owning assets & having loyalty to subjects. We see no need to sieze oil, rather agree a limited drilling & higher price, taking the morality away from the US invader concerning reserves.
US: How is the population reduced by all of this? Is there no war anymore?
Stealing everyones assets for immoderate US benefit claiming God told you to.
