You're wrong again. There's no longer a need for the United States to use force to secure fossil fuels. The projection of influence by the United States is used to secure export markets and geopolitical interests.
The US has been an exporter of coal for decades. In 2014, the US became a net exporter of crude oil due to the fact that it processes shale oil from the largest oil reserve ever known. The US imports natural gas currently but with solar generation in the Southwest, wind generation in the Plains and new natural gas fields coming on line this year, the United States is expected to be a net exporter of energy by 2026
Why Hitler's grand plan during the second world war collapsed
...Above all, the Reich was short of fuel. Romania and Hungary supplied a large proportion of Germany's needs. But this was not enough to satisfy the appetite of the Wehrmacht's gas-guzzling tanks and fighter planes. Rommel's eastward push across northern Africa was designed not just to cut off Britain's supply route through the Suez canal but above all to break through to the Middle East and gain control over the region's vast reserves of oil.

Big win for Trump and his travel ban
Anthony Zurcher
North America reporter
26 June 2017
Donald Trump just got his travel ban. At least, most of it...
Although the Supreme Court left parts of the lower-court-ordered suspension of his travel ban intact, and agreed to consider the merits of the case in October, a considerable portion of it can now go into effect.
The path to entry into the US for immigrants and refugees from the affected nations, if they don't have existing ties to the US - either through family, schools or employment - just became considerably harder.
It didn't take long for the president to take a victory lap, via an official statement. He touted the "unanimous" nature of the court's unsigned opinion and called it a "clear victory for our national security".
While his victory wasn't complete - as he acknowledged, it will "become largely effective" - the way the court decided the case makes it a significant win for Mr Trump.
The decision marks a reaffirmation of the sweeping powers the president has traditionally been granted by the courts in areas of national security.
There was fear in some quarters that the administration's ham-fisted implementation of its immigration policy could do lasting damage to the president's prerogatives. That appears not to be the case.
The government, the justices write, has a "compelling need to provide for the nation's security". That includes being able to close the borders based on an evaluation of the potential of foreign threats - at least for now.
Unlike the lower court judges, the Supreme Court justices set aside concerns that the travel ban amounted to unconstitutional religious discrimination by focusing exclusively on countries with majority Muslim population.
They paid no heed to Mr Trump's sometimes controversial statements and tweets or comments by his surrogates and staffers as to the motivation behind the immigration measures.
Instead it was all about the justices' interpretations of current law and an affirmation of presidential authority.
Those constitutional issues may come up in the autumn, when the Supreme Court justices will fully consider the arguments on both sides next autumn.
Of course, by that time it may not matter. The administration has three months to conduct its "executive review" of immigration policy and devise new guidelines.
The "ban" as it is currently constructed may be a distant memory by then, replaced with something more permanent - perhaps even more sweeping.
In the meantime, the gates to America just got a bit smaller.
You butt hurt liberal socialists okay over there???

Where RASC? The Supreme court lifting some of the injunctions and agreeing to hear the case doesn't mean anything is "back on" Return to “Ole talk and more Ole talk”
