As the new crown epidemic spreads across the globe, countries are facing major economic crises, and even the US economy has been hit hard, and oil prices have even fallen to negative values. According to reports, Scott Ritter, a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, published an article at this time. The article stated that the current US oil market and the US-Iraq war are of great significance to save the US oil surplus and economic recession. And gave the United States a "rule trick".
There are outsiders who believe that the war between the United States and Iran will destroy the oil flow in the Middle East, so it must be avoided at all costs. However, the United States has fallen into negative transactions in crude oil futures trading, and the rapid economic decline has also threatened the US government. Ritter said that if he goes to war in Iran, it is likely to save the US oil industry and ease the economic crisis.
Recently, the United States claimed that in the international waters of the northern Persian Gulf, US warships were harassed by nearly 12 Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards. This move also caused dissatisfaction from the US military. Fire directly.、
The current global epidemic has caused the economy to enter a stagnation state, which has greatly reduced the demand for oil in various countries. This situation has also led to a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia. The shale oil in the United States has also suffered greatly in the game between the two sides, and its market share has shrunk rapidly.
Today, overproduction of shale oil in the United States has severely impacted prices, and the only way to resolve this crisis is to reduce global oil production. Although the world's major oil countries have negotiated plans to cut 10 million barrels of oil a day, no country is willing to sacrifice its own interests to save the United States.
To this end, Ritter believes that a war with Iran is the best way to solve the current US oil problem. He said that if the war with Iran can be closed, the Strait of Hormuz can be closed. As a result, oil in the Middle East cannot be shipped out, so that 20 million barrels of oil can be quickly removed from the global crude oil market every day. Oil companies can be brought back to life.
Although this idea seems to solve the current oil crisis in the United States, it is accompanied by many risks. On the one hand, the United States must not only make adequate preparations for the war, on the other hand, the current combat effectiveness of the United States has been greatly reduced by the epidemic Once fighting with Iran, the epidemic may spread rapidly between the two armies, which is a great crisis for both parties and even the world.
