Comment on I think this is the first war we aren't hiding by bad guy vs good guy scenario. So lets say the US and allies get control of the oil..how do that solve dependence on it?

The US have been a net exporter of oil since 2020 something due to domestic shale oil. The meme about US starting wars to get more oil was probably valid in 2003 but not in 2026.

What they can do is try to cause a 1970s oil crisis in China, who is a net importer. China can and does invest massively in EV, solar and wind to reduce this vulnerability.
