The New Dark Age

▪️The Western media is noting the immediate (temporary) effect this has had on oil prices, lowering them;

▪️Analysts are saying this is a US policy meant to manage the damage the US war on Iran has caused;

▪️This is true to a point – the US is causing and managing this damage deliberately;

▪️The US is now amid the same incremental, managed process of decoupling Asia from Middle East energy exports that it had used to decouple Europe from cheap, plentiful, and reliable Russian energy;

▪️The process of cutting Europe off from Russia took years (and is still taking place) and this current process of controlled demolition of Middle East energy exports to Asia will take time too – just as the US has LNG export projects being brought online or beginning construction in the US (Alaska, Texas etc) – projects that unil now made ZERO economic sense;

▪️This is why there may be temporary pauses in the US war on Iran but never any end at least until this process is complete – but then again, toppling Russia and Iran are also US objectives in and onto themselves, unlikely to change whether or not this controlled demolition is completed:

▪️If people re-read RAND Corporation’s 2019 “Extending Russia” they basically spell out how the US needed to expand LNG exports to Europe, that sanctions alone wouldn’t make it viable under peacetime conditions, and how another option would be to provoke war with Russia in Ukraine – and here we are…

The US is now repeating this whole process aimed now at the Middle East and Asia.
