has generally stayed away from commenting on real-world politics and
religion, and a reference like that would've veered too close to calling
certain wars "oil wars". (It's a common opinion, but it's still somewhat
controversial.)

However, I can't think of what {rubyo'} can be a reference to, except for a
very specific politician. Can anyone else have any ideas?

Also, {cha'DaSvI'} seems very much like it ought to be a reference of some
kind, but I don't know what.
