Ukraine-Russia Conflict and Oil
The Ukraine-Russia conflict has led to a global energy crisis, with oil and natural gas supplies being restricted. The pursuit of oil has been a major factor in conflict since the early 20th century. The US-Israel joint war against Iran has shaken global energy markets, closed the Strait of Hormuz, and restricted the flow of oil and natural gas worldwide. The growing emergence of fossil-free energy sources is prompting visions of ending our decades of dependence on oil, with its pollution and inevitable wars. Michael Klare, an emeritus professor of peace and security studies at Hampshire College, discusses the problems of war and the environment, and how the world is still terribly dependent on oil and natural gas for its energy supply. The historical record shows that the pursuit of oil has been a major factor in conflict, with oil being a factor in most wars, one way or the other. The Trump administration's attack on Venezuela was directly about oil, and the current conflict in Iran is also about controlling the flow of oil around the world.
