A futuristic US policy explodes the globe

A futuristic US policy explodes the globe

Dr. Jassim Taqui

Many strategists wonder as to what has happened to the globe. Suddenly, violence is spreading all over the globe including the United States itself, even as ISIS is retreating in Syria and Iraq. Ostensibly, ISIS has given way to a new ISIS or many ISIS in almost every corner of the world.

There should be a rational explanation for such an unthinkable trend and spread of violence. One such explanation is that the US think-tanks have devised a new global strategy. According to this strategy, the US would never deploy troops anywhere in the world. It would deal with adversaries and terrorists with military drones. Thus, the Middle East has become highly unstable since it is witnessing proxy wars between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

In a sense, this is welcome news to the US military complex, which is exporting weapons like hot cakes to all and sundry. Weapons exported to the ME are fetching trillions of dollars. Thus, the US economy is reviving.

The second feature of the new strategy is that through the advanced technology of shale oil, the US has emerged as the largest exporter of crude oil, about 12 million BPD as compared to Saudi 11 million BPD. Now, the US is no longer dependent on the ME oil. It is self-sufficient and an exporter of crude oil. This has broken the blackmail of OPEC and caused a crumble in oil prices.

Sensing a real danger from US shale oil, OPEC opted to increase oil production to create a glut in the market. However, its policy backfired. May US Shale oil companies bought cheap OPEC oil and stored it until oil prices rose. They, then, released the cheap OPEC oil and sold it at higher prices. By this way, US Shale Oil companies compensated their losses emanating from low oil prices.

Secondly, by developing high-tech methods, US Shale Oil companies have been able to reduce the price of Shale Oil from $75 p/b to under $37 p/b. More advanced research can even further reduce the cost of production of the Shale Oil.

The third pillar of the US futuristic strategy is the Silicon Valley, where thousands of scientists are developing new technologies including alternate renewable energy. And within a few years, fossil energy would be the “primitive story of the past.”

One would, therefore, advise the rogues within intelligence agencies to give up the policy of using ISIS or new-ISIS to spread chaos and anarchy throughout the world.

Similarly, the US military Complex and its ilk are advised to invest in the cheap alternate renewable energy, which would fetch them far more profit.

With new technologies, the world would witness an agricultural revolution. Already Texas has made history by transforming from Shale boom to Water Revolution through developing the next-generation water-processing technology.

Humanity can survive through disarmament, resolving global conflicts peacefully and changing gear towards Water Revolution.
