Description

Europe has already suffered what is likely irreversible political and economic damage from its political capture by the US and now its growing energy dependence on the US. Asia risks being likewise weakened by growing energy dependence on the US, making political capture much more likely by the US, then being transformed into a united front - this time against China rather than Russia - and used to wage war on the US’ behalf at the expense of the people, peace, and prosperity of Asia.

Recently, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the war in Iran was about oil not security and thus why Trump said Iran can't have a nuke. The longer Iran waits to become a nuclear power, the same old reason the USA will always have try to overthrowing Iran and then steal their oil. That is problem with the petrodollar, that the USA always has to control it to prop up the currency, always going to war over control of fossil fuel for US corporate industry. We need to put the gold back in Fort Knox.

Well said sir! I recall back in 2016 seeing reports that the US had 3-4 lng plants on the eastern seaboard that were brand new but had no customers. It would appear the plan to supply Europe with lng has been underway for some time.

I assume Iran and Russia and China read these papers also, so they know the strategy.

While all other tubers and "experts" discuss into the minutest detail Trump's incessant shit posting on lie social, wasting their and everyone else's time, Brian discusses the US grand strategy in crisp detail, so clearly that, once you'd seen it, you can't unsee it ever again. Thank you Brian.
