Not if we go to war to plunder :)
- marvin 18y agoThat's an interesting question, what would looting in modern society look like? Can you "confiscate" securities? Companies?
- krschultz 18y agooil. That's not some silly slap at the Iraq war which wasn't over oil IMO. But conquering for oil has already happened, japan in WWII and Iraq over Kuwait in thefirst gulf war just to name two.
- lacker 18y agoHeck, the government is buying huge stakes in banks at historically low prices right now. Whether they're being "confiscated" or "rescued" is just a matter of your viewpoint. You can also look at Russia for examples - the Russian government basically confiscated Yukos.
