"Se petrodólar morrer, isto aí já liquida EUA como superpotência"
Morreram todos que tentaram escapar da tirania do petrodólar".
LIVRO : "EUA perdendo controle do comércio global de energia".
Vladimir Putin is stripping America of its superpower status. And he's not using bombs or tanks to do it! Instead, he's orchestrating an ingenious yet devastating, decades-long plan to control the global energy trade—the largest source of demand for the dollar and bedrock of American might and prosperity. Should Putin win, it could nuke the US economy and cost the average American dearly. The stakes have never been higher, and we've never been more vulnerable.
- The second-largest oil exporter, set to soon pass even Saudi Arabia;
- The largest uranium exporter in the world, powering 1 in 10 American homes;
- The country with the largest natural gas reserves in the world, doled out with an iron fist, willing to shut off those valves and watch harsh winters kill thousands to get its way.
While America and the West dismissed this rising threat, Marin was uncovering the truth.
Rússia já vencendo esta guerra: Preço da energia migrando do petróleo saudita para o gás russo.
Putin is on the march. His advance has been swift and virtually unabated… Putin’s consolidated and nationalized the Russian energy industry. Natural gas, oil, and uranium are all controlled by the state and overseen by an ultra loyal group of Putin’s childhood chums. These enterprises have never been more profitable or powerful. As a result, Europe is now reliant on Russian natural gas and oil—a third of its fuel needs come through Putin’s pipelines. He can bend the EU to his will simply by twisting the valve shut. No need for military intervention. Crimea and the eastern Ukraine are his. Putin’s next target? The US. He cut a landmark deal to build pipelines and sell natural gas to China for the next 30 years. This fills Russia’s coffers, but more important, not a dime will transacted in US dollars. This is a direct threat to the current petrodollar system, in which the majority of the energy trade is priced in US dollars and sold in dollars. Along with China, Putin delivered another crushing blow to the US dollar with the New Development Bank, which will make large strategic investments in developing nations in Africa, Latin America, and Asia through a non-dollar international payment clearing system. Each month that passes, Putin forges new alliances and deals like these. He’s using Russia’s vast energy and resource wealth as the ultimate economic weapon.
