A significant share of the arms that Israel used to defeat the Resistance Axis -- and yes, I do believe that they're defeated, but they're not yet fully destroyed and might eventually come back in a different form -- are American but Israel still planned and executed its operations.
The past 15 months were characterized by calls for the US to de-escalate and mild pressure on Israel, both political and media, to "restrain" itself. We all remember Rafah for example, where Bibi ultimately still went in despite the Biden Admin being strongly against it. He also didn't tell them about his plans to assassinate Nasrallah.
That's not to say that Biden Admin was fully against everything that Israel was doing, but just that they did indeed show disapproval yet always declined maximally pressuring them to stop, which they could have succeeded doing if they had the political will. The Biden Admin also wanted to topple Bibi and called for regime change against him:
Being militarily dependent on supplies from a certain patron doesn't make that patron responsible for the planning and execution of whatever operations are carried out using their arms. Take Russia's alleged use of North Korean and Iranian arms in Ukraine: does anyone REALLY think that Pyongyang and Tehran played a role in planning and execution?
Sure, each arms supplier is partially responsible for perpetuating each respective conflict, but it's categorically false that their arms transfers automatically make them responsible for planning and execution. So while Israel relied heavily on American arms, they ultimately planned, executed, and accepted the costs for defeating the Resistance Axis.
But that single-sentence point isn't the focus of my analysis so why not address the gas aspect instead of focusing on that point? I'm pretty sure you're a leftist and/or activist, which is fine and I'm not judging, but it's usually those types (and especially a combination thereof) that get angered by one point and miss the rest of the whole article.
I am neither an activist nor an leftis or an analyst. I am just an observer reading several analysts (of which You are the most objective in my eyes). As stated I fully agree with your conclusions (no direct geopolitical influence due to a lack of a military conponent but a possible massive economic influence) and I also agree that the notion, that Russia is anti Israel is wishful thinking shared by many in the Alt Media Community.
I asked about those points because here, Your statement differs from statements made by other respected analysts i.e. John Mearsheimer and I enjoy askimg people who know more than me about topics, where I have not formed an opinion yet.
You're welcome, and thanks for clarifying. I get "hate mail" on X almost daily and it's been by leftists and activists for the most part for the past two years now, hence my sensitivity.
Check out Qatar’s and Australia’s and America’s LNG export numbers. And keep in mind Qatar and America both plan to double their output by 2030. So an OPEC for LNG already exists.
It doesn't yet exist since Qatar and Australia aren't coordinating their activities on the market as far as I'm aware, and being US allies, they're also unlikely to coordinate such with their Russian and Iranian competitors.
Keep in mind OPEC exists because of how easily transportable oil is…shipping oil only adds a few dollars to the price of a barrel of oil. The problem with LNG from a cartel perspective is that every continent will have more than enough gas through pipes and then LNG might never develop a global spot market. So LNG might just be for a harsh winter once Europe sorts everything out. And China is developing huge natural gas storage capacity and they have huge hydro capacity…and so China will buy natural gas in April and not in the northern hemisphere fall when it would be most expensive in a global spot market. America’s Big Oil wants to develop a spot market which is what the “LNG export pause” that’s been in the news is really about…Democrats don’t want a global spot market because it could only harm American consumers after 2030. So right now LNG involves diplomacy and huge infrastructure investments at both ends and long term contracts.
Tillerson is pretty much a member of the Qatari royal family because of how much XOM has invested into Qatar. And Qatar is investing billions in American LNG export infrastructure:
“These plans would run in parallel with, but were likely to be finished significantly sooner than, the plans for Qatar to also make available to Germany sizeable supplies of LNG from the Golden Pass terminal on the Gulf Coast of Texas. QatarEnergy holds a 70 percent stake in the project, with the U.S.'s ExxonMobil holding the remainder.”
A stronger position for russia and iran in the global gas industry is trivial to israeli terrorism and the horrors of zionism. Who cares about global gas while the genocide in Palestine continues thru the faux ceasefire? Are you a zionist?
You need to stop with the name-calling ("Zionist") because I don't tolerate personal attacks on my page and you'll be blocked the next time you do it.
I analyze and articulate Russian policy so that observers can better understand it, and Russia isn't against Zionism nor does it accuse Israel or terrorism.
It also hasn't described what's happening in Gaza as a genocide either, instead regularly referring to it as collective punishment.
You seem angry, but your anger is misdirected. I don't formulate policy, I just analyze and articulate it. Write an angry letter to the Kremlin if you're so upset.
