This video was originally created in 2021, but was released on youtube on June 21st 2025. Within 8 hours of this being released, The United States bombs Iran. So this video will not cover any thing more recent than 2021, and certainly not the recent stuff. Still though, it does do a great job of documenting and explaining how we got to the point we’re at now.

I learned a lot from this video. Also, not mentioned in this video, but was mentioned in the comments, is that the oil company discussed in the 1940s that the British controlled that started this whole mess? Later renamed themselves British Petroleum. Yeah. THAT BP. They’re still around. This all started because of them.
