In mid-September 2026, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee held one of its meetings, which take place about every six weeks. This was not, however, an ordinary meeting. The week before was a rough one for U.S. imperialism in West Asia. Militias based in Iraq attacked the oil pipeline that runs east to west across the Arabian Peninsula ruled by the Saudi Arabian oil monarchy. Saudi Arabia, named after its ruling family, is the largest of the oil monarchies. To maintain the flow toward the Mediterranean and the world market, the oil must be pumped by stations located along the pipeline. In September, Iraqi militias using drones destroyed these pumping stations, halting the flow. It will take several months to rebuild them, and there’s a possibility they’ll be attacked again.
At the same time, Yemen’s government, pushing back U.S. puppets, established control of the Bab el-Mandeb strait, which controls passage into and out of the Red Sea. At this time, Yemen is the only Arab country openly at war with U.S. domination. It is allied with Iran and is thus considered part of the Axis of Resistance. As the Trump administration, through military force, tries to erode Iran’s control of the Persian Gulf, U.S. imperialism’s ability to control the flow of oil across the Arabian desert and the Red Sea is being cut off. To meet the new threats, the U.S. will have to deploy increased military forces to Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and the Red Sea. The war on Iran is increasingly turning into the West Asian war, or we could call it the U.S.-Israeli-West Asian war. Beyond lurks East Asia, whose largest country is the People’s Republic of China, the world’s leading industrial country — a title formerly held by the United States of America, but no more.
“The COVID-19 pandemic risked radically shrinking the size of the working class. Unlike a normal crisis that affects the realization of surplus value, this endangered the production of surplus value. ” This is a wrong analysis in my opinion. The project of ruling class in all world is TO REDUCE the population. The increase in the organic composition of capital makes this “solution” possible for the world ruling class. There are many indications and explicit statements that it’is your (not recognised) project, including the fabricated Covid-19 pandemie.
