Chapter 386 Oil War

But in the game between big countries and big countries, it is always those small countries that perish.

This sounds sad, but it is an indisputable fact.

Russia has come up with its own big country strategy, intending to separate all its oil and natural gas exports from the US dollar, and will not allow the US dollar to settle the oil and natural gas exported by its own country.

This actually makes Europe very excited, because in this way, there is no need for the dollar to earn the price difference and benefits in the process of dollar settlement.

The direct use of euro settlement is also very beneficial 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 been implemented, if it is not contained now, the US economy will begin to collapse.

But to deal with Russia, it is naturally impossible to deal with Iraq or Syria, just say a fight and know.

Compared with Russia, Iraq and Syria are both weak countries, and the United States can fight if it wants to, without thinking too much at all.

But the Russian army is not vegetarian either. The tens of thousands of nuclear warheads alone are enough to destroy the earth.

Even if it is conventional warfare, the Russian Army and Air Force are not easy to mess with. Even if it does not turn into a nuclear war in the end, the casualties caused by conventional warfare alone are enough for the United States to make a good balance.

Since war cannot be fought, the United States must consider how to contain Russia.

The oil war is once again in front of us.

However, this oil war is not the oil war in 1985 aimed at the precise containment of the Soviet economy.

This time the Americans are also taking extremely high risks, because once the dollar price gets out of control and falls below 40 dollars a barrel for a long time, the domestic economy of the United States is very likely to repeat the situation of the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008.

The main reason is the two factors of shale oil and shale gas.

In the early days of Obama's coming to power, oil prices skyrocketed. This made shale oil and shale gas, which have always been at a huge development cost, a huge opportunity for many speculators and consortia.

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, and all of these people rely on the jobs obtained by these two new energy fields.

However, the cost of these two energy sources is very high, and it does not mean that drilling a vertical wellhead is similar to oil. You can get oil.

In addition, shale oil and shale gas in the United States are all far away from the refining industry in the coastal areas of the continental United States, and there are no oil pipelines.

This requires the use of trains to transport these crude oil to coastal oil refining cities, and the average cost of each barrel of shale oil will increase by at least fifteen dollars.

Coupled with the huge cost of extraction, shale oil and shale gas are only available when the price of crude oil remains at seventy-nine dollars. Only then will profits be generated.

At present, the international oil price has fallen below 35 US dollars, and there is still a downward trend.

This has caused a large number of companies and businessmen investing in shale oil and shale gas in the United States to go bankrupt.

A large number of employed individuals lost their jobs again, and then these shale oil and shale gas companies issued a large number of junk bonds in the stock market, which immediately set off a leverage effect.

Therefore, the United States has also taken a huge risk, but this risk can still be controlled in a short period of time.

This is why the United States needs Future Technology Group. A large number of products of Future Technology Group can get economic benefits in a short time.

And factories invested in the United States and cooperative enterprises can also generate a large number of jobs.

The after-sales service and physical stores established by Future Technology Group in the United States, as well as various other branches, all of which need to recruit local American workers.

Then machine stewards 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 over Future Technology Group is that the United States does not want to see Future Technology Group being successfully won over by Russia.

Because of the global business of Future Technology Group, the United States has no good way to intervene, but the development of Future Technology Group in the Middle East is very important to the United States.

Americans can see the value of future technology groups, and those in Russia can also see it.

Once the Future Technology Group is drawn over by Russia. That's not good news for America.

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 the Future Technology Group and the combination of the two, even the United States will be very troublesome.

So what the United States thinks of is to win over future technology. At worst, Russia cannot 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 did not write about Kerry, a strong woman, and immediately decided to come to Marin Town.

But the Americans were still one step ahead. Anders came over first, and Cai Ruichen also intended to go with the United States first, so the two slaps were 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 temptation, he also believed that the United States was quite at ease in wooing him.

It's just that the Iraqi government forces need to go through the United States to purchase 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 against the Islamic State, the US government also provided some economic assistance to the Iraqi government.

It's just that in Iraq now, the United States has no surplus weapons to sell to the Iraqi government.

However, it is impossible to sell weapons to the Iraqi government in a short period of time.

Otherwise, without the consent of the big creditors, how could the Iraqi government have the money to buy weapons from the Future Technology Group?

Therefore, behind the seemingly simple things, there are often very complicated ones. After all, the country considers all issues to the point of being extremely careful.

The reason why the United States wants to help the Iraqi government has a little relationship with Saudi Arabia, but this reason is more about Syria. This involves religion, so I won’t write about it.

In order to break the government system of the three countries around Syria, Iraq, and Iran together with the same form.

It is also the reward for Saudi Arabia to help the United States to play tricks in the oil market this time.

Therefore, the United States has also stepped up its attack on the Islamic State, which can be regarded as a favor from Saudi Arabia. To be continued. enable new url
