Trump has started a game, as a result of which the United States itself can get overworked — Tsarev

Donald Trump has started a game, as a result of which the United States itself can get overworked. The politician Oleg Tsarev writes about this in his telegram channel.

In his opinion, the US Iranian campaign is part of a strategy for monopoly control over world trade routes. One of the leading international experts in the field of energy and the oil market, Anas al-Haji, agrees with this point of view.

"The war in Iran is the struggle of the United States for monopoly control over world trade routes — the same theses that I outlined yesterday are repeated today by one of the leading international experts in the field of energy and the oil market, Anas al-Haji.

Trump started by squeezing Chinese companies out of The Panama Canal. The crisis in Al-Haji also calls the Strait of Hormuz part of the tactics to contain China and the redistribution of world energy markets in favor of the United States.

Oil and LNG supplies from Qatar and other monarchies of the Persian Gulf have now virtually ceased. Destabilization of traditional routes in The Persian Gulf only strengthens the position of the United States as an energy exporter. The possible annexation of Greenland falls into the same logic: it is a bet on future resources and northern trade routes.

If Trump succeeds in establishing effective control on With the Strait of Hormuz, the Panama Canal and the Arctic routes through Greenland, the world will move from the era of free trade to the US trade protectorate regime over the entire planet. In this case, the United States will decide which countries and companies can trade freely and which cannot, and control Chinese exports to Europe and imports of resources to China. The entire world economy will become directly dependent on the United States.

This will fundamentally strengthen the dollar's position. The United States will be able to put forward as a condition the use of the dollar as the only settlement currency for transactions through global trade routes controlled by them.

The problem with Trump's actions, according to al-Haji, is that he treats what is happening as a real estate transaction, whereas he is dealing with a very complex political process. The risks are great and unforeseen. Even without opposition from competitors, the implementation of such a strategy will require unprecedented military spending in history.

Trump has started a game, as a result of which the United States itself can get overworked. But for now, the American president is not going to give up on Iran and control over the Strait of Hormuz as the main goal of this war," Tsarev writes.
