> If it was about securing US oil, war in Venezuela and Canada would be far more sensible. Is there not a cold war between US and Venezuela right now (over nationalization of formerly American-owned oil production facilities there), somewhat of a proxy for China to attack us, raging since the second Bush administration? I mean, their nationals factually developed many of the US voting systems (because we're stupid, not because they are stealth) and all we have is political rhetoric that those systems are "the most secure in history" and there is "no evidence of hacking". I think most people here, at least, know that the first order of business for modern computer viruses once they penetrate a system is to get rid of the penetration evidence, neutralize system monitoring capacity and start unwrapping preloaded or downloaded payloads. This all feeds back into what America's government is going to do with respect to domestic oil production over the next four years and how that will affect the world's dependency upon the Middle East and Russia. https://gnews.org/556010/ https://gnews.org/556010/ http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-10/26/c_139467853.htm http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-10/26/c_139467853.htm As far as Canada, it was far from a cold war, more like two gentlemen getting into an argument at the local country club, but a primary focus was oil (pipelines), no? https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/files/Press/fs/USMCA/USMCA-Energy.pdf https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/files/Press/fs/USMCA/US...
