Theys dont want to have all the tankers sunk by a (global) war.
They want $.
$ = business
war = bad for business
How much more simple can i put it?
You could simplify it by getting it right. For example, war is tremendously good for business. Factories are going like a house on fire, more people have jobs in war-related industries, and so on.
Yes, production and transport of oil in wartime is difficult, but that tends to make the price go up, not down. And sinking tankers doesn't do a lot of good (you'd have to sink a helluva lot of them and tankers are relatively cheap to replace). Attacking refineries and production fields works better, but these are likely to be heavily defended.
