Are you really comparing gas prices rising from a war to stop religious zealots from having nuclear weapons to Biden waging a war on oil closing the key stone pipeline to appease climate zealots?
It has been forgotten that at the beginning of the war, Feb. 28th, preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon was not one of stated reasons for attacking Iran.
That reason only was resurected days later.
Initially it was:
1.To kill their leaders.
2. To destroy their military capability.
3. Be a catalyst for a successful uprising of the population.
Then what? There was never anything presented as to "then what do we do?"
The elimination of Iran's ability to make a a nuke only was added a few days later. After "unconditional surrenderr" no longer looked like it was eassy-peasy.
