    Why don’t we build an oil pipeline around the world… but make it out of some metal coppery material. We could hook the pipeline at either end up to some sort of generator, possibly one that extracts the fossil fuels from the air, water, and sun? We could even put little oil extractors on top of houses and hook them up to the pipeline. Then we could harvest the fossil fuels inside uranium, plutonium, and thorium too and hook them up to a coal plant where those fossil fuels are sorted, irradiated, and compacted until they generate a bunch of heat which can boil water, just like God intended us to burn our fossil fuels.

    I know it’s a joke, but for the record, the Ottomans never conquered Iran despite being at war with them for like three centuries. Iran ended with some of mesopatamia, land to the Caucuses, while the ottomans established control of all of Asia Minor.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman–Persian_Wars 'The Ottoman–Persian Wars also called the Ottoman–Iranian Wars were a series of wars between the Ottoman Empire and the Safavid, Afsharid, Zand, and Qajar states of Iran (Persia) through the 16th–19th centuries. The Ottomans consolidated their control of what is today Turkey in the 15th century, and gradually came into conflict with the emerging neighboring Iranian state, led by Ismail I of the Safavid dynasty. The two states were arch rivals, and were also divided by religious grounds, the Ottomans being staunchly Sunni and the Safavids being Shia. A series of military conflicts ensued for centuries during which the two empires competed for control over eastern Anatolia, the Caucasus, and Ottoman Iraq. ’

    You’re forgetting the Jamaican Lesbians of Cambridge. JLC.

    They will combine forces with the NOE, and EU.

    After a cabinet shuffle they will become known as

    UNCLE JOE.

    And the prophesy will be fulfilled.
