I reamember reading a study on modern war, based on oil usage.
In World War II we fought (the US alone) for 4 years. Probbaly used up zillions of gallons of fuel, millions per day. This included ship fuel, plane fuel, tanks, trucks, and whatever else.
But yet when a study was done on a Modern war (world War III) it was assumed that no modern military could last more then 2 weeks (including a invasion on Europe by the Soviet Union), and that after that time one of the sides would be out of fuel.
Is this reasonable?
Could we use up that much fuel that fast?
Were talking the SOviet union which just happens to sit on one of the biggest untapped (so far) resource bed on earth.
Also it was said the same for NATO.
But even without oil from the middle east surely it could last longer.
