For oil, of course. But it is not to plunder oil, but to maintain the privilege of settling oil in dollars. Occupying a country and then plundering its resources is outdated, and this is what Belgium does in Africa, not what the United States does in the Middle East.
The Americans are pretty. The United States said that it was fighting Iraq for the sake of oil, but in order to clarify this matter, it had to pull the dollar. In fact, the United States has long tried its best to maintain the settlement status of the dollar.
For example, the United States recognized OPEC, but deceived the dollar settlement right, so that after the dollar was decoupled from **, its status as a world currency not only did not decrease, but increased. Oil is mainly determined by it. Oil **** determines the oil spot**.
The United States controls the oil ** that the spot delivery of oil is in the United States, but it is the standard for world oil pricing. Therefore, to control the settlement power of oil is to control oil**, to maintain the hegemony of the dollar, and to maintain the hegemony of the United States in the world. Saddam Hussein wanted to challenge the dollar's settlement status, and in 2000 he wanted to settle oil transactions in euros to break the shackles of the dollar.
OPEC has responded positively. Then, of course, the United States did not do it, so it found a very bad excuse to fight Iraq. The so-called mass destruction**, what a terrible reason, will the Americans not know?
Of course I do. Biochemical ** is not white powder, the police framed you can go to your house to search, and then do tricks, the United States can never pull a set of biochemical ** production lines in broad daylight to put in Iraq, insist that it is Saddam's. Moreover, attacking Iraq is a fundamental violation of the Charter of the United Nations, and a member state cannot attack another member state without being attacked.
But the reason is very bad, the United States also wants to beat Saddam, because Saddam Hussein is too ruthless. But there are also countries that the Americans cannot afford to fight. For example, European countries.
But the Americans also have a way. For example, 1949 forced the pound to depreciate. For example, in 1956, the Suez Canal incident sold the pound sterling, causing the pound to depreciate.
For example, the bombing of Yugoslavia, which caused the euro to depreciate. Returning to the war, in 2000 the U.S. seigniorage spread was $295.8 billion, but military spending was $294.4 billion, which was roughly the same. This is the relationship between war, the dollar, oil.
The war is for oil, the control of oil is to support the dollar, the support of the dollar is to maintain the hegemony of the United States, and the maintenance of hegemony has to go to war. The United States is really feeding its war with war. <>
-
Oil is part of the reason! What is really to strike at the direction of the flow of international hot money and consolidate the hegemony of the dollar. All the wars that the United States has participated in and waged are for the status of the dollar, and all other reasons are superficial!
-
Promoting democracy and maintaining world peace, the United States began to play a righteous role after the first stop, and it was a bit selfish, and on the whole it was still a positive image of the world's policeman.
-
The United States is for the credibility of oil, oil is the important currency of the United States, and oil supports the United States.
-
The United States' attack on Iraq and Afghanistan is a poisonous ploy. First, eliminate anti-American forces. Second, to deter the world.
Third, squeeze the strategic space of China and Russia (the same is true for fighting Syria). Fourth, to destabilize the Middle East, maintain US control in the Middle East, and control oil. Fifth, maintain the hegemony of the dollar (Saddam Hussein dared to decouple oil from the dollar, and he was simply looking for death).
Sixth, consume the inventory and make the military industry rich. Wait, wait, anyway, the United States is a sure-fire business. As for how many people died, it didn't matter at all.
-
In order to maintain oil hegemony, in order to maintain the status of dollar oil settlement, in order to maintain the power of oil pricing, and ultimately for the needs of US hegemony.
-
Unbelief? For oil is just a pretense, the actual encirclement and suppression of China's C-shaped encirclement is.
-
This is the mainstream official statement of the country at that time, of course it is credible! This is the standard cognition of Zhang Zhaozhong's expert representatives.
-
The fight against Iraq is to preserve the dignity of the free world.
-
Some of the opinions downstairs are really ridiculous, fighting Iraq is for oil to be pegged to the dollar?? Hehe, what country's currency is more valuable than the dollar today??? If the United States does not fight Iraq, oil will be out of touch with the dollar???
It's nonsense, the dollar is the most valuable currency in the world today, otherwise not so many countries would use the dollar as foreign exchange, because the dollar will not be printed casually, and the United States will not print money at will for the sake of that GDP to look good, if it prints money at will, it will destroy the credibility of the dollar as a world currency, and the United States will not be so discredited.
-
The main thing is to defend the values of the free world, for the sake of oil and the dollar to control oil, which is, dollar oil settlement is a matter of decades ago, there has never been another currency to replace, people's strength and credibility is the best guarantee, there is no need to use war to fix the value of the dollar.
-
Could it be that Iraq's oil is given to US imperialism for nothing, and US imperialism does not spend a penny?
-
The United States has huge oil and gas reserves, the Democrats have destroyed the Great Wall, and the world elite is envious, jealous and hateful.
-
A twisted soul will never believe in goodness.
-
Not credible! Children don't believe it either!
-
I was dizzy when I saw someone say that it was for democracy, and that Saudi Arabia should be killed first for democracy.
-
The United States is a thief, and it also has a purpose, to disintegrate all countries, and then they all obey its command and give it a line!
-
Beat them because they don't follow the rules, and civil strife, take advantage of the situation, solve it in minutes, and support the new **,
-
Looking at the final results, you can see that the United States does not occupy an inch of land and not a single oil well.
-
Fighting for oil control is at least half of the reason!
-
Look at how the United States controls Iranian oil exports, and you know what he is for.
-
The disobedient little brother is afraid that they will become bigger.
-
Whatever it is, it's not right to go to war.
-
After the US military fought Iraq, why did it not vigorously exploit oil? It turns out that these benefits are what you want.
-
Although the United States says that it has not exploited oil, it has always controlled oil, and he is only thinking about his own future, so that there will be no problems with the amount of oil he will have in the future.
-
The United States is not short of oil or money now, so it will keep it for the first time and not exploit it, but the control is in its hands, and if it does not exploit it now, it will not be criticized in the international community, this is one of its strategies.
-
First of all, it is necessary to maintain its image as a "world policeman", after all, it cannot be robbed casually, and it is estimated that if you want to get this batch of oil, you will also find a third party to do it, but in fact it wants to indirectly control the Middle East. So not to extract oil, this is an option for the United States.
-
Good face, I don't want to leave a handle and let people gossip, so I won't go to oil extraction, and naturally someone will help the United States do this kind of dirty work, and they don't have to do it themselves.
-
Before the Americans came to the Middle East, it was already a mess of religion, water, and oil. At this time, the main enemy of Saudi Arabia and other countries is not the United States, and the US Treasury Secretary negotiated with Saudi Arabia and asked for oil to be pegged to the dollar. After the U.S. attack on Iraq, the first market with the strongest volatility was oil.
The United States is sitting back and waiting for the gains.
-
If the United States usurps Iraqi oil, it will not leave the whole world with a mouthful, and it will not be able to do so. The occupation of Iraq by the United States is equivalent to taking the huge oil depot in the Middle East directly into its own hands.
-
Because in this way, the United States will destroy the image of the so-called heroes that it has worked so hard to maintain, and if it extracts oil, it will make the United States a joke, so the United States will not extract oil.
-
Fair bidding to the outside world, it is estimated that American companies have no chance of winning.
-
Oh, yes!! The U.S. military is not there to help the poor, the Marines are all stationed next to the Iraqi oil pipelines and ports, and the patrols patrol around the oil fields and pipelines every day.
After the collapse of the Braider Woods system after the Vietnam War, the dollar was linked to oil settlements, and Iraq was originally one of the top few in the world before the Iran-Iraq war.
First of all, the oil was sold and the money was collected by the Iraqi puppet**, and the money was bought by the United States through Iraq, and the post-war reconstruction was financed and returned to the United States; The most important thing is that controlling Iraq can control a part of the **** market, which can also help the United States stabilize the dollar exchange rate and ensure that the dollar does not depreciate, so that the Americans can start the money printing machine and print money hard.
Now capitalism has progressed from the primitive plundering of raw materials to the plundering of labor resources, and now it is the financial and economic plunder.
The Chinese were digging for oil there, helping the United States dig for oil, and the money was not handed over to the Iraqi people.
-
Because the dollar's ** is pegged to the dollar, what the United States wants is not oil, but to prevent Saddam from selling oil in euros.
-
Because if it did this, it would cause resistance from the local people, so the United States did not dare to do it.
-
Oil is a material resource that every country needs, and if you take it for yourself, it will also cause other countries to covet it, and some will even take some confrontational measures against the United States.
-
Here's why:
1. On the eve of the war, Iraq has reached the time set by the United Nations to lift sanctions. Moreover, both Europe and China support the lifting of sanctions. Once the sanctions are lifted, it will be easy to recover Iraq's oil and make Iraq an enemy of the United States, so it is better to overthrow it directly.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven.
2. Once Iraq exports a large amount of oil, it will threaten the oil pricing power of the United States, which is an important support for the United States dollar to become a global currency. At that time, Lao Sa was already going to settle the oil in euros.
3. The United States' attack on Iraq can disrupt Europe, make international capital flow to the United States, and achieve the goal of prospering the United States!
-
The U.S. attack on Iraq for oil is certain. But the fundamental reason is to control the oil economy and firmly grasp the dominance of the world economy.
It is believed that life is in the world, and the body is a human being. I'm sure everyone has had this experience. The same body language has different meanings in different countries, after all, the world is so big, and each country has its own customs and cultural heritage. >>>More

April Fool's Day, also known as the Day of Ten Thousand Fools, is a traditional folk festival in the West and the United States, and the festival is held on April 1 every year. April Fool's Day bears similarities with the ancient Roman festival of hilaria (25 March) and the Indian festival of joy (holi) (until 31 March). In terms of timing, it seems to be related to the "vernal equinox" (March 21). >>>More
