Azari -- Your conclusion that the CIA is doing things What are you going to say when the US no longer imports oil? The US is already down to importing 20% of it energy.

Those 500+ American military bases in all the world are not to ensure American Oil & Gas import .. never were
Access to secure and reliable "Energy", Oil & Gas, key in a nation's potential for growth (Brits held back Oil from Hitler, sanction, and Hitler did what he did, same with Japan when Oil were cut to Japan next day they attacked Pearl Harbor)
America objective is to be the ARBITER for who gets how much, meaning controlling economic lifeline of other powers, China, Europe, etc .. that would give America a competitive advantage for many things on the theater of world economy
America, Canada, swimming on Oil and Gas, probably biggest Oil & gas holders, this no secret, Strait of Georgia (Vancouver Island) is all Oil (and gas) and and
Iran, selling oil to everybody, does not use oil as a weapon against others .. not so America (or Canada or west), American LNG exports are "officially and openly" strictly politically focused, who gets (and how much) and who not
In short, America wants to control, be
ARBITER, of lifeline (Energy and other vital resources), to control other powers .. that is exactly what lead to WW 1 and WW 2 .. German economy needed Energy (Oil) and metals (copper and Iron etc) to grow, but Brits wanted to keep German economy (leading to German economic and military might) down therefore limiting German access to Oil and resources .. result was, German Capital found, financed, helped to power, an (national) extremist to tak over power and wipe out British empire, and he did (a good job) .. same thing could happen now with America
Exactly same scenario happening now .. Energy and natural resources access is controlled by America/West
trying to choke China (and Japan if falling out of line) and others .. meaning .. a big BANG ahead
issue with Iran not nuclear bomb .. Iran asking a too high price for fallin in line with west, and, is siding with China .. Turkey in western boat (a mistake which could lead to a 2nd Turkish retreat last 100 yrs)
China knows all this and preparing for the BANG ahead
