Why do people think a war is necessary to take a country's oil?

I've heard many times that the wars in the middle east was about taking their oil.

You dont need soldiers to build a oil rig.

Sorry that we could not take your call. Currently we have high wait times due to a virus that is on a killing spree throughout the country resulting in 105,000+ deaths and counting, protests throughout the country due to police mis-conduct, violence throughout the country due to the US regime and its shock troops and the limited access to salons.

Please call hold.
Your wait time will be 7 months.

You need soliders to protect an oil rig.
In case you didnt know this: Oil is worth money.

You need soldiers to use up the munitions stockpiles so we can pay the defense contractors to make more. Oil is the excuse; feeding the beast is the goal.

because that's how we did it in the past, i.e iran 1952, iraq more recently.

Why do you want the rest of the world to be stupider than they already are?

The British once controlled the M.E. but the new rulers decided that they didn't want to play along with British oil companies. So Britain convinced the U.S. that it is/was necessary to help convince the M.E. rulers otherwise.

You obviously aren't familiar with the petrol dollar. We don't go to war in the ME to get their oil... We go there to ensure the petrol dollar is protected at all costs... because it is based on the US dollar. If the dollar loses influence in the world then the US gov't will have a really hard time getting away with printing money.
