Reminder, Most Saudi Oil Exports Go to Asia, Especially China…

(Also take in Michael Hudson’s last two postings.  Michael explains this in depth.  Brian gives us the overview).

▪️People cheerleading the destruction of Saudi energy export infrastructure and the blockading of its shipping don’t seem to realize this primarily hurts Asia and especially China and has forced Asia to rely on politically compromised and insufficient energy exports from the US – which is literally the US’ primary objective with its war on Iran – not “regime change in 3 days;”

▪️Yes, prices are spiking for US consumers but ask yourself, “so what?” What will Americans do? Protest? Vote Democratic only to have the next administration or Congress continue the war just like they helped set it up in the first place?

▪️This process is like chemotherapy for US empire, the US has set out to destroy the world economy, knowing it will hurt itself in the process, but with the intent of ultimately slowing down or killing the “cancer” – from its perspective – of multipolarism, more than it hurts itself;

▪️The US will gladly sacrifice its proxies (like Saudi Arabia in this case) in the short-term even if in the long-term this might lead to proxies eventually collapsing or turning to multipolarism if US strategies fail;

▪️If US strategy works, and multipolarism is strangled before its permanent displacement of US primacy, these proxies will have nowhere to go no matter how obviously the US used/abused them;

▪️If it doesn’t work, obviously it will only accelerate the shift toward multipolarism;

▪️ Whether this works or not depends on the resilience and organization of multipolarism itself but also on how smart or easily manipulated the global public is in terms of either witlessly prodding these policies along through emotionally-driven, predictable reactions, or by exposing and opposing these policies based on rational, strategic analysis;

▪️I personally hope but cannot be sure multipolarism is resilient enough to prevail without the global public ever waking up to what the US is actually doing.

US information dominance and propaganda is still far too powerful and so little being done to expose and neutralize it – hopefully multipolarism has a plan to succeed regardless of this factor…
