Troy(2004) with Brad Pitt

Somehow watching Troy(2004) reminded me a lot of what is happening now in the middle East.

I suppose my question might be: "Is Iran Troy Iran or is the western World Troy?"

The reason I'm asking this question is simply because how long can the western world function without enough oil at a good price? not very long for most people on earth!

Trump (as a billionaire may always have enough oil at any price but that certainly isn't true for more than 50% of mankind who will definitely starve or die this year or the next unless oil starts flowing at more reasonable prices soon.

The problem won't be transportation it will be eating. So, Trump might have just made 50% of mankind homeless so they can still eat and work and live in their cars or on the streets of the world.
