Founder of Tolou Capital Management and popular digital commentator, Spencer Hakimian, has raised serious questions about U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent pattern of military threats against oil-rich countries.
In a post on his verified Twitter account, Hakimian wrote: “Isn’t it a little suspicious that ALL of the countries Trump wants us to go to war with are oil rich? Iran, Venezuela, now Nigeria.”
Hakimian’s comment follows Trump’s latest controversial statement threatening possible military intervention in Nigeria under the guise of “protecting Christians.” His post has since sparked widespread debate, with many users suggesting that America’s foreign policy might be driven more by economic interests than humanitarian concerns.
The financial analyst and political observer argued that history has repeatedly shown the U.S. targeting countries with significant natural resources, particularly oil. “It’s no coincidence,” one of his follow-up posts read. “Whenever a nation holds vast energy reserves and maintains independence from Western control, it suddenly becomes a ‘threat to democracy.’”
Hakimian further warned that such rhetoric from the U.S. leadership could destabilize regions already struggling with insecurity, corruption, and fragile governance. He urged the international community to be cautious and to question the real motivations behind these warlike postures.
Analysts also note that Nigeria, like Iran and Venezuela, possesses large crude oil deposits and has recently sought to strengthen ties with non-Western partners such as China and Russia — a development that may have unsettled Washington’s strategic interests.
Hakimian concluded that the U.S. should prioritize diplomacy, not domination, saying, “If America truly stands for freedom, it must stop trying to control every oil well on the planet.” View, More,
