Gains of a war

What makes a war happen? Backstage of the American attack against Iraq in 1991 Part of the material for the course “ Models and Natural Resources Management 1”, Milan Technical University .

The expenses for the Gulf war ,[object Object],or 42 billion euros

But who paid for this? ,[object Object],This is partially true : indeed … 40 BILLION $ 25% of the expenses was paid by the USA (10 billion$) 75% of the expenses was paid by the Arab countries , specifically by Kuwait and Saudi Arabia (30 billion $)

Where did they find this money? ,[object Object],… but with the Gulf war, it rose to 42 $ per barrel , generating an EXTRA profit of about 60 billion $ Who did this profit go to? In the Arab countries the “ fifty – fifty” law is valid : 50% to the state and 50% to the multinational that controls the oil deposit . This gives us …

Where did they find this money? ,[object Object],30 billion $ to the oil companies 30 billion $ to the governments of the Arab states (Kuwait + Saudi Arabia )

Who owns the oil companies? In the Middle East, the extraction and trading of oil is in the hands of the 7 Sister (Shell, Tamoil, Esso…), all of which are American, and 5 are state owned. 30 billion $ Approx. 21 billion $ to the American State Approx. 9 billion $ to the American private sector

Let’s make some calculations … Profit $ 9 billion Now all is clear … USA have made a profit of 20 $ billion from the war ! It had nothing to do with “Free Kuwait” … they were only after the “cheese” ! Profit 11 $ billion 21 $ billion 10$ billion USA GOVERNMENT 9 $ billion 30 $ billion Profit from the increase in the oil prices 0 USA Private Sector 0 30$ billion Arab Nations Profit or loss Expenses of war

But this is not over yet … ,[object Object],Those who use the oil … … which means us !!!

But this is not over yet … ,[object Object],$ 11 billion from the oil $ 49 billion from the weapons !!!

But this is not over yet … ,[object Object],To the war industry , all of which just happens to be almost exclusively … AMERICAN !!!

Last thoughts ,[object Object],But now it is easy to understand two other events : the reason behind the war in Afghanistan and the new war against Iraq

Last thoughts ,[object Object],This strategically important pipe line , has as unique alternative, the construction of another one, of 5.500 km lenght, much more costly to construct and maintain, due to the taxes that would be imposed to the USA by the countries through which it would run. It is much easier to reduce to dust a country already tormented by 30 years of war and turn it into your annex , with the possibility of constructing and managing the shortest pipe line without any trouble at all .

Last thoughts ,[object Object],The rupture of their relationship cannot be mended, because Saudi Arabia is one of the countries involved in the Bin Laden, terrorist movement and because the International Public Opinion is against this country due to their lack of respect of the Human rights. So, the Bush administration has a goal: to find an alternative oil supplier except for Saudi Arabia in the Middle East.

Last thoughts ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Last thoughts On top of this, in the last 3 years , a social revolution has taken place in Venezuela, due to the terrible living conditions. Venezuela is the greatest oil supplier for the USA. The Bush administration had to find an alternative to Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
