  3.  @jellyfishi_  no that's not it, he's on point when he mentions that powerful nations are primarily interested in less powerful nations or the less powerful groups within that same nation for resource extraction, in this case oil, everything else is secondary The issue was he failed to take into account a larger and historical world view of this problem: Such as the imperial Japanese invading south east Asia to secure oil fields when the US began an oil embargo towards them for aggressive actions to neighboring countries Present day Australia annexing a small piece of Tongia's EEZ to secure oil extraction Portugal trying to lobby and let the UN rewrite the definition of continental shelf and international waters triple it's legal size in the Atlantic ocean and expand its EEZ for oil extraction China claiming to be a "Near Artic Nation" and wants a voice in the Artic much to the annoyance of Russia for you guessed it, beginning phases of Artic oil extraction Canada using a sonic cannon to map the sea floor in Nunavut for oil extraction companies much to the annoyance of indigenous tribal groups who depend upon migratory fish and seal stocks as their primary means of food Iraq invading the sovereign nation of Kuwait literally quoted by then dictator Saddam Hussein as for securing oil extraction Iran suffering from a rebel separatist group in their south eastern provence on the border of Iraq wanting that provence to become independent since it had most of the Iranian oil fields and those provencal leaders wanted to keep the wealth from the central Iranian government (That same group would go on to cause the Hostage situation in London in the 1980s with support from Iraq) The United Kingdom not very open to listen to the idea of a second Scotland's independence referendum as Scotland has all of the UK's oil extraction business Donald Trump attempting to order the secretary of the interior to open up all coastal states for offshore oil extraction (except Florida) clearly playing favorites with the state level governments China again giving support and Chinese weapons/anti riot materiael to disgraced Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro during his crackdown to ensure the continuing extraction and sale of Venezuelan oil to China China for the third time on this list for the famous/infamous (depending on your views of the man) Donald Trump "Caught Red-handed" tweet of a Chinese oil tanker offloading oil into a North Korean oil tanker trying to bypass international sanctions
