Male 13: So why are there countries that need oil, and other countries that export oil but also deal in the oil market, like Russia, need oil like France, they want the embargo lifted? Let’s ask this question.
First of all, they feel that America is controlling the oil by controlling the gulf area. So it is in their interest and they know that America has become the only super power left that controls everything. They know, and just like me and the comrades here, when the French meet together they talk about how the Americans control everything, exactly like we do. The only difference is that they don’t say it in public because they don’t want to get into a public confrontation.
They want guaranteed shares for the future. Even Russia wants a guaranteed share that it can sell on the market. It wants to stay an effective player in the market. They want Iraq to be back now and in the future. And they want Iraq to increase it’sproduction like you mentioned earlier. Meaning for Iraq to export more than it does at the present time. All this is in their best interest.
But the thing that we do need to emphasize is like you said, that Iraq is a balancing factor in the oil market when it comes back. That’s why I talked about the two countries in OPEC. Not because they’re Islamic countries trying to do good for Muslims. It’s because they have interests. The two countries are Indonesia and Niger. They support lifting the embargo. I’m sure Dr Safa knows this, but there is an agreement in OPEC that the Iraqi return to the oil market combined with less oil production from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, is a balancing factor.
Right now, any news out of Baghdad, or any news from New York, affects the oil prices. The Iraqi return to the oil market combined with an oil agreement to specify production levels and agree on prices, and if there’s a plan to increase production it should do so gradually not jump suddenly, all of this is in the interest of exporters for sure, and that’s why they support us. And it is also in the best interest of consumers that import the oil who do not have imperialist goals like America. They want guarantees and stability. They don’t want one party to play around. If a crisis hits the American dollar, which is possible, for example, America dumped 20 to 30 billion dollars in Mexico because the Mexican Peso collapsed. America is scared of Mexico. If Mexico’s economy collapses…
Male 2: [Inaudible]
Male 13: If the last treaty between America, Mexico and Canada; NAFTA, collapses, if Mexico collapses and a starvation happens, Mexicans will jump the fence and cross into the United States. It was a big problem for them when the Haitians and Cubans came to them. Mexico is 100 million. And they’re close; they don’t need boats or anything. The only option for Americans would be to open fire and kill them, but they can’t do that…
Male 9: Sir, California is already Mexican
Ament to that.
