Why Hasn’t the U.S. Secured Red Sea Shipping Routes? U.S. Oil Exports have Increased by 1.377 Million Barrels A DAY Since Houthis Started Attacking Ships
A headline earlier this week stated that ships were still not passing through the Red Sea as "Biden's Operation Prosperity Guardian Fails." In an article I published on December 23rd, I speculated that the Red Sea shipping disruptions might actually benefit the U.S., which might be one reason why the U.S. has not taken much action to open up the shipping lanes in the Red Sea. It appears that I was correct, as it was reported today in the financial news that U.S. petroleum exports have climbed by 1.377 million barrels A DAY since the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea. Will this news finally wake up European countries to the fact that these U.S.-led wars are destroying their economy as the U.S. prospers from these wars? The Ukraine - Russian war literally turned off the pipeline to Europe's cheapest natural gas sources from Russia, including blowing up one of those pipelines, which greatly benefited the U.S. as they are now the world's largest exporter of natural gas. The Biden Administration is facing increasing pressure to do something about the Houthis of Yemen and open up the sea lanes in the Red Sea. But even if the U.S. military does start operations in the Red Sea that also attack positions inside Yemen, such a conflict could go on for a long time, and the U.S. could certainly suffer casualties as the blood of American Navy members spill into the Red Sea, all in the name of protecting (and EXPANDING) the U.S. petroleum market and the crumbling Rockefeller Empire.
