Peace Breaks Out In The Middle East As US Influence Declines: From OPEC To OPEC+
Historians will mark the low point of Pax Americana in the Middle East by several rather brutal humiliations that American prestige has undergone under President Joe Biden’s presidency…
Gone are the days when the OPEC cartel with its Saudi lynchpin played a role as the US-allied “central banker of oil”, opening the oil spigot if oil prices went too high for the Western-dominated global economy. It is the OPEC+ group that is now in the driver’s seat, combining Saudi Arabia (and its Gulf allies) with Russia. The former is the world’s largest exporter of crude oil while the latter is the world’s second largest oil exporter and largest natural gas exporter. Absurdly enough, the third heavy weight contender in the global oil and gas trade, the US itself, is hobbled by an administration which boasts a ‘whole-of-government’ commitment to anti-fossil fuel climate policies…
An increasing number of countries are trading oil in currencies other than US dollars. Russia’s oil and gas exports have been paid for in roubles or gold, and now increasingly in yuan, as the US dollar and the Euro are “toxic” on its sanctioned books.
Indian refiners have started paying for most of the Russian oil purchased through Dubai traders in UAE dirhams (pegged to the US dollar) instead of US dollars. China has reportedly agreed to pay for imports of Russian oil, gas and coal in some combination of rubles and yuan. Speaking at an educational event this week, Anton Siluanov, Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation, said that the country is “actively working with partner countries in order to have its own ‘circulatory system’ of international payments” and that the ruble and yuan are increasingly replacing the dollar in trade between China and Russia…
Peace has a chance of breaking out in the Middle East. OPEC now is better understood as OPEC+, the new oil cartel. Russia and China have emerged as full-fledged actors in the Middle East security outlook despite limits to their military force projection capabilities. And the US — the exceptional country or, to its critics, the hitherto global hegemon — now operates in a multipolar world.

Good.
Not really.
When they say “multipolar” what they mean is oligo-polar.
A cartel (tight oligopoly) is no better for consumers than straight up monopoly, it just offers the illusion of choice & competition.
Oceania, Eastasia, Eurasia.
Stability is afforded by having an external enemy to redirect citizen angst toward.
The US uniparty is far from gone. It may be being challenged, but the outcome of this challenge is a long ways from being decided, and the treachery of the west is not to be underestimated. Psychopaths always have the advantage of not caring about destroying the world to get what they want.
