Peak Oil and the American Empire

Just how will the end of easy oil, caused by the looming peak in world oil production, affect the U.S.?

Read this excellent Oil Drum interview with Michael Klare. Klare talks about both the invasion of Iraq and potential military action against Iran in terms of a general militarization of oil politics, among other things.

Where does China fit? Right now, in the arms of Russia, and in part because Beijing feels we drove them there, Klare said.
