Big three wanted more world market share,  so there goes Iraq and them ignoring past agreements and tried squeezing OPEC. Its business to oil billionaires and Sheiks abroad,  but it wrecks nations, states, cities, small investors, contractors and workers lives on a big scale on a never ending rollercoaster ride. Up and down over and over again. Even with enormous steady fields here, the Gulf of Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and other parts of globe to level pump prices for them to stay wealty. Why war for more? That continuing fluctuation is screwing the very people big oil wants coming to fill up cars, boats, planes with gas and buy oil changes! Now that type of stupid deserves a special sign across their foreheads. Big oil and OPEC behave like they own the earth. They do! By monopoly of oil/fuel, they literally rule the world. 1) try living without gasoline in America for a day, week, month. No gas to be had anywhere in our cities, states, or nation!
