Iran has the best positioning, but invading them would be a deathblow to the US
I don't follow. I had to google afpak.
You're saying that The afpak wars... are an extension of America's foreign policy since the end of WW2? Mainly, we want oil and we will have oil. And all foreign policy decisions flow from this one statement.
edit or rather the oil is secondary and that we are positioning ourselves for an eventual war with China/India/Russia? The documentary suggests that eventual war will be over oil, and that even the last world war was won because of our oil supply.
