28. The MIC needs oil. Big Oil needs the MIC. |
|
The single biggest user of refined petroleum products on this planet is the U.S. DoD.
Big Oil needs the DoD to pacify governments that they can't buy off.
The MIC needs Big Oil or the expensive war machines can't go.
Until the backs of one or the other is broken, our foreign policy and government is beholden to both.
