Getting companies to invest in oil drilling in unstable regions is no easy sell. History shows why—past expropriations have wiped out billions in assets, and U.S.-backed infrastructure has been left abandoned to decay. When governments seize control and mismanage resources, it tanks investor confidence. The political and economic uncertainty creates a brutal calculus: potential returns versus existential risks of losing everything.

That's why I've always said that when investing in oil and gas now, you must carefully assess geopolitical risks. Focusing solely on yields will only lead to losses.

Just say it, this thing has always been a trap.

Isn't this the ultimate version of game theory? High risk, high reward, but if you lose, you lose everything.

Basically, it's gambling with your life. No matter how high the returns are, you still have to stay alive to spend the money.

Basically, when the government turns hostile, investors lose everything. This is something the oil industry is most adept at playing.
