Blood and oil "Michael Clear"

It is expected that US military operations related to oil will increase in the coming years. By 2020, the United States will need to import twice as much crude oil as it did in 1990. And since this oil will come from unstable and strongly hostile regions such as the Gulf, the Baltic Sea, and Africa, this will lead to its repeated involvement in violent conflicts. International security expert Michael Cleer examines the impact of oil on US foreign policies from World War II to the present day. He sheds light on the US dilemma: its oil wells are drying up, its demand for oil is increasing, while hostility towards it is rising in oil-rich countries around the world. Cleer warns that the time has come for America to change its energy policy, or it will pay the oil blood price.
