China Signs $23 Billion Oil Deal With Nigeria
http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid;=19390
China has signed a $23 billion deal with the new government of Goodluck Jonathan in Nigeria to build three oil refineries and a petrochemical plant. Goodluck Jonathan came to power on May 6 after the death of the former president, Umaru Yar’Adua.

The new government declared that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with China State Construction Engineering Corporation on May 13. The three refineries are to be built in Lagos, the commercial capital, in Kebbi state in the remote northeast, and Bayelsa, Jonathan’s home state within the Niger Delta. The refineries would have a combined capacity of 900,000 barrels per day (bpd), double the expected domestic demand of 450,000 bpd by the time they are due to be completed in five years.

Webmaster's Commentary:
China and Russia have been making deals to secure their energy requirements, without firing a single shot.

The US, on the other hand, has been waging war to accomplish that same objective, and has been failing miserably in the process.
