Americans Invading for Oil

Text on the meme

Americans getting ready to invade some third world country with oil

What it means

A dark, cinematic video from Dune shows a vast army and armored warriors preparing for battle under stormy skies. The caption jokes that this ominous military mobilization represents Americans preparing to invade an oil-rich third-world country; the dramatic visuals are contrasted with the absurdly upbeat “Hamburger Song,” making the geopolitical satire funnier. The clip uses grand sci-fi imagery and cheerful music to mock the stereotype of oil-driven foreign intervention.
