    I told you it was always about oil

    More broadly, it is about western imperial expansion. Control of the Red Sea. Control of the Suez Canal. The ability to cut China and Russia off from international markets (specifically, trade with India and West Africa).

    Oil was a big part of it, but not the whole.

    It was always not only about israel colonial interests but also american imperialist interests

    They’re joined at the hip.
