here's my take on "submarine/gasoline."
think of it as Israel/Palestine. a submarine is high tech, gasoline is comparatively low tech, a missile vs. a molotov cocktail. but a submarine doesn't run without gasoline, so let's put your gasoline in my submarine and then both go some where other than here.
I thought it was along the lines of wars for oil (e.g. Iraq) - US military might versus an oil nation.
