#1 The sooner we initiate conflict and break both of these powers, the better off we'll be. They're nothing but trouble.

#2 Sounds like the US needs to get there 'Git thar fustest with the most mostest'. Nathan Bedford Forrest as I recall. Yes, I know this was an intentional slur, a so called 'quotation', but the core sentiment remains.

#6 Even before the Antarctic discovery...

"BP’s Spencer Dale summed it up nicely, “For every barrel of oil consumed over the past 35 years, two new barrels have been discovered.” And this shows no sign of slowing down any time soon. Peak oil has moved to a long time from now.

While we talk about decreasing our fossil fuel use, it’s easy to forget that humans find it really hard not to use what they have a lot of. And we have a lot of oil. And gas. And coal. In fact, the United States has more oil, gas and coal together than any other country in the world."

But that can all be ignored if corrupt governments and political elites create false crisis and then devise policy to make it expensive and profit from their control of it!
