No Blood for Oil

"No Blood for Oil" is a slogan used by activists and critics who argue that military interventions, particularly in the Middle East, are primarily motivated by the desire to control oil resources rather than genuine humanitarian concerns. The phrase gained prominence during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, as many believed the U.S. and its allies sought to secure access to Iraq's vast oil reserves. The slogan captures the criticism that wars and conflicts often result in significant human suffering, and emphasizes the moral question of prioritizing economic interests over human lives and ethical considerations in foreign policy.
