Chapter 386: Oil war

However, in the game between big countries and big countries, those small countries have always perished.
This sounds sad, but it is an indisputable fact.
Russia has developed its own strategy of being a major power, intending to separate its oil and natural gas exports from the US dollar, and it does not allow the US dollar to settle the oil and natural gas exported by its own country.
This makes Europe actually very excited, because in this way, there is no need to be earned by the U.S. dollar in the process of settlement of the U.S. dollar.
The direct use of euro for settlement is also very conducive to the value of the euro and the stability of the euro zone.
However, the Americans are naturally unhappy. Although this strategy has not yet begun to be implemented, if it is not contained now, the United States' own economy will begin to collapse.
But to deal with Russia, it is naturally impossible to deal with Iraq or Syria, and you will know it after a fight.
Compared with Russia, Iraq and Syria are weak countries, and the United States does not need to think about it too much.
But the Russian army is not vegetarian, and the tens of thousands of nuclear warheads alone are enough to destroy the earth.
Even if it is conventional operations, the Russian Army and Air Force are not easy to provoke. Even if it does not evolve into a nuclear war in the end, the casualties caused by conventional warfare alone are enough for the United States to weigh it.
Since war cannot be fought, the United States must consider how to contain Russia.
The oil war is once again before us.
However, this oil war is not the 1985 oil war aimed at precise containment of the Soviet economy.
This time the Americans are also taking a very high risk, because once the dollar price gets out of control and drops below 40 dollars a barrel for a long time, then the domestic economy is very likely to repeat the situation of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis.
The main reason is shale oil and shale gas.
In the early days when Obama took office, oil prices grew wildly, which made shale oil and shale gas, which had always been at a huge development cost, and made many speculators and consortia see huge opportunities.
In just a few years, shale gas and shale oil have been exploited throughout the United States. There is a huge scale.
And it has brought tens of millions of jobs to the United States, all of whom rely on these two new energy fields to get jobs.
However, the cost of extracting these two energy sources is very high. It does not mean that a vertical wellhead is drilled like oil. You can get oil.
In addition, the shale oil and shale gas in the United States are all far away from the refining industry in the coastal areas of the United States, and there are no oil pipelines.
This requires the use of trains to transport these crude oils to coastal refining cities, and the cost of an average barrel of shale oil will increase by at least 15 dollars.
Coupled with the huge mining costs, shale oil and shale gas can only be maintained at 79 dollars when the price of crude oil. Only profits are generated.
At present, the international oil price has fallen below 35 U.S. dollars, and there is a continuing downward trend.
This has caused the companies and businessmen who invested heavily in shale oil and shale gas in the United States to go bankrupt.
A large number of employed individuals were unemployed again, and then these shale oil and shale gas companies released a large number of junk bonds on the stock market, immediately setting off a leverage effect.
Therefore, the United States has taken a huge risk, but this risk can still be controlled in a short time.
The United States also needs the Future Technology Group. A large number of products of the Future Technology Group can obtain economic benefits in a short time.
In addition, factories invested in the United States and cooperating companies can also generate a large number of jobs.
Future Technology Group has established physical stores in the United States for after-sales service, as well as various other branches, all of which need to recruit local American workers.
Then machine housekeepers and software companies. It can also increase consumption in the United States and stimulate the weak consumer market in the United States, which can help the United States increase its fiscal revenue this year.
In addition, another reason why the United States wants to win the Future Technology Group is that the United States does not want to see the Future Technology Group being successfully wooed by Russia.
Because of Future Technology Group’s global business, the United States does not have a good way to intervene, but for the Future Technology Group’s development in the Middle East, it is very important for the United States.
Americans can see the value of future technology groups, and those in Russia can see it as well.
Once the Future Technology Group is drawn to Russia. That is not good news for the United States.
Now Russia's military influence has gradually gained a foothold in the Middle East, quite like the Soviet Union back then.
With the help of Future Technology Group, the combination of the two will be difficult even in the United States.
So what the United States thinks of is to attract future technology. The least help will not allow Russia to successfully win over the Future Technology Group.
This is why the United States responded immediately after learning that Putin was going to Marin Town in eight months.
Even Hillary deliberately didn't write about this powerful woman Kerry, so she decided to come to Marin Town as well.
But the Americans were still one step fast. Anders came first, and Cai Ruichen also deliberately walked with the United States first, and the two slaps became loud.
Cooperation requires sincerity and foundation. This Cai Ruichen is very clear that he can understand the global strategy of the United States, and try his best to make the Future Technology Group behave in line with the needs of the United States.
After Anders' simple test, he also believes that the United States is quite relieved to win over himself.
It's just that the Iraqi government forces need to go through the United States if they want to buy weapons and equipment.
Because the United States is now Iraq’s largest creditor, and Iraq is doomed to be unable to repay these foreign debts this year.
At the same time, in order to ensure that the Iraqi government forces can fight the Islamic State, the US government has also provided some economic assistance to the Iraqi government~EbookFREE.me~ But now in Iraq, the United States has no surplus weapons sold to the Iraqi government.
It is impossible to sell weapons to the Iraqi government in a short time.
Otherwise, without the consent of major creditors, how could the Iraqi government have the money to buy weapons from the Future Technology Group?
Therefore, behind seemingly simple things, they are often very complicated. After all, the issues that the country considers are all so careful that they cannot be added.
The reason why the United States wants to provide help to the Iraqi government is related to Saudi Arabia, but this reason is more in Syria. This involves religion, so I won’t write about it.
Saudi Arabia aims to break the same government system of Syria, Iraq, and Iran.
It is also this time that Saudi Arabia has helped the United States join forces in the oil market.
Therefore, the United States has also stepped up its attack on the Islamic State, which can be regarded as the favor of Saudi Arabia. To be continued. Enable new URL
