Why did the US invade Iraq and spend trillions of dollars occupying it just so that Asia and Europe could get all the oil?

It wasn't really about the oil user. It was to protect the petro dollar and strengthen Israeli security in the region.

The petrodollar is a normie conspiracy theory though, isn't it? The US is losing way more money being the "world police" than they would be losing without the meme-dollar, something no other country on the face of the earth relies on. We've just have commies in the government for the past century looking to transfer power and influence to China

The petro dollar is what makes the US dollar the world reserve currency and props up the dollar, US has been bankrupt since Bretton woods agreement, It's not a meme. So far any country that has attempted to undermine it has been invaded or otherwise destroyed by the USA.

lol, there are still plebs that believe it was for oil.
Look up AIPAC and get back to me.

I'll try and look into it with an open mind-but it's hard to ignore the fact that the country is doing so terribly despite this supposed advantage which is apparently worth maintaining a global military hegemony that our allies and enemies alike are seamlessly able to exploit.

Like seriously, does the petrodollar prevent Denmark and France from selling us insulin (80% market share) at a premium while selling it into Europe at prices they wouldn't even break even on? Does the petrodollar prevent China from buying up our food supply (Smithfield), real estate etc.? How much fuckin' worse could it get, man!
