Without oil, you cannot fight a war. Oh, we have nuclear powered ships now but not all of them, not even close.
Digital and psychological warfare is pretty effective these days, couple that with a few selective suicide bombers a year and oil isn't an issue at all. Lots of redhats would sacrifice their life to suicide bombers muslims Sign Nico-T up first
