It's important to note that, should any Pro-Fascist persist with the oil conspiracy theory (a term surely worthy of definition here, btw), one can knock them down with Tony's Dead Cert Oil Conundrum:

"If we wanted their oil we could have bought it. Why would we steal it? Duh!"

This powerful retort annihilates any naive theories about control of energy resources, reliance on Saudi Arabia, etc.
