The Afghaniraq war had almost nothing to do with oil. The US invaded Afghanistan to protect the poppy fields necessary for US drug manufacturing and for rare earth metals, both which Trump surrendered to the Taliban in 2019.

I watched a video from an oil and gas expert saying it’s not the oil in Venezuela they want. Apparently Venezuela oil fields produce “heavy” crude which requires more expensive processing to make fuel so it’s not in demand.
It’s their strategic minerals the U.S. wants because one of Don Jr.’s companies was unable to cut a good deal with them. Coltan and Nickel specifically.
