The moves of the dictator are being played on the chessboard of the world. Each is trying to hold the other in a pair of scissors to taunt each other. As the saying goes, separate teeth to show and separate teeth to eat, the reasons being shown for each of these moves are to divert the world's attention. But the real game is going on behind the scenes. To understand this game, we have to understand the behind-the-scenes politics, the masterminds. Apart from that, how will all these moves affect our lives in the future? This also needs to be understood. Because the unconscious impact of these moves is related to your life. So let's explain what exactly these moves are.
Many things happening on the world stage are interconnected but not all things can be written in one place. For that we will understand them step by step.
OPEC i.e. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and their partner countries that produce oil and gas i.e. crude oil have recently taken a unanimous decision. Why is this an important part of it? It will become clear later. These OPEC countries and their partner countries have decided to cut crude oil production by around 2 lakh barrels/day from November 1. These countries have explained that they are taking this step to stabilize the falling prices of oil and gas. But is it really so? So let us understand the big politics behind this.
At the beginning of January 2022, crude oil prices were around $79 per barrel. Today the same price is fairly stable at around $88 per barrel. The same price hit a 14-year high of $127 a barrel in March 2022 when Russia started the Ukraine war. But as the dark clouds of war receded, prices stabilized. Now that all is well, a sudden decision by OPEC countries to cut crude oil production is sure to push crude oil prices back above $100 a barrel. What is it in November that has led to this decision? That is why I said that it is necessary to be able to recognize the moves of chess.
Saudi Arabia is the biggest OPEC country. The world produces 29.7 million barrels of oil per day, of which 10.9 million barrels are produced by Saudi Arabia alone. King Salman of Saudi Arabia is now old, he is now 86 years old. He has sort of retired from the natural political and oil economy. Now this axis has come to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. For the past few years, it was said that they have the center of power and oil economy. He was appointed as the Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia by King Salman on 27 September 2022. This means that the keys to power have now apparently passed to MBS i.e. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Immediately after he accepted the post, the OPEC countries have taken a decision. In this, this same Prince wants to pay back his infamy to America.
Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed in 2018 by Mohammed bin Salman, or the US had made an open conclusion. The current President of the United States, Joe Biden, was at the forefront of this. During his election campaign, Biden openly accused Salman and called Saudi Arabia a backer of the killers. In his speech, he made an open remark that he will make this Saudi prince pay the price when he becomes the president. After becoming the President of the United States, the United States was making every effort to keep the Saudi Prince away from power. The rift between Prince Salman and Biden has implications for the relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia. The fact that Biden and Prince Salman have not met once since becoming president can give you an idea of how bad relations have deteriorated. On the one hand, for the past 4 years, Prince Salman has been waiting for an opportunity to teach America and especially Biden a lesson. After formally taking over as Saudi Prime Minister in September, he began to play his moves on the chessboard.
Elections are being held in the United States on November 8, 2022. In this, voting will be held in all 435 seats of the House of Representatives (which we call Loksabha in our democracy). Whereas Senate (which we call Rajya Sabha in Indian democracy) has voting in 35 out of 100 seats. From November 1, Saudi Arabia has decided to reduce the supply of oil. Therefore, the prices of natural oil are going to go up. Apart from this, the message of the loss of American control over Saudi Arabia under the leadership of Biden will be prominently presented to the American people on this occasion. OPEC has taken this decision under the auspices of Saudi Arabia despite strong opposition from America. It is obvious that Biden's Democratic Party will be hit hard by this. Already, the American public is upset with Biden for many reasons. The action taken against Tatya Trump has added to it. The stain on Biden is that the US and Russia could not do anything wrong in the Ukraine war. Prince Salman has played his tricks and put Biden in a lot of trouble. It is predicted that Biden's Democratic Party will be swept away in this election. Tatya Trump's Republican Party will elect as many candidates as possible. The result of all this is that Tatya Trump will once again be the ace of the presidential election on November 5, 2024.
The OPEC decision comes in the wake of Biden's accusations against Prince Salman. This will worsen the relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia in the coming years. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia is coming closer to China, Russia and India. It is clear that America's grip on the global economy is slipping. Prince Salman openly stated in an interview,
“Simply, I do not care” if Biden misunderstands him, adding, “It’s up to him to think about the interests of America." & “I believe other people in the East are going to be super happy” if the U.S.-Saudi relationship continues to devolve.
The meaning is clear. We are not begging America, in fact we do not owe anything to America. This is globally variable Referrals are going to have a huge impact. Where is India in all this? In the next part, what difference it will make in the lives of all common people.
