A poet once wrote of small men who measured their lives in “coffee spoons.” But, all of us as Americans living in the modern era, can just as easily measure ours by the number of oil wars we have lived through.
I’ve seen this movie before. This version is dumber. But a knock off nonetheless.
"I’ve measured my life in oil wars. And our oil-igarchs have learned nothing," writes David Rothkopf.
