America is already blockading Cuba and ran a hostile takeover of Venezuela, america also destabilised Iran in the 50s or thereabouts was because they wanted to privatise and keep their own oil, so they did a bit of their 'regime change' and suddenly the heavily oppressive highly religious leader is happy to sell oil to big america.

We've been in the resource wars for a long while.
