HOW THE AMERICAN MEDIA COVERS UP ECONOMIC WARFARE.

In recent days there has been no better example of the propaganda nature of America's capitalist media than their framing of Russia's retaliation to American sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. They have framed economic warfare, that has destroyed America's fracking industry, as the "2020 Russia-Saudi Arabia oil price war [1]." And in doing so they are hiding the fact that for the first time in history the power of America's petroleum oligarchs has been put in check. America's oil industry has been destroyed by Moscow's defensive measures. On 23 December 2019 the Russians vowed to retaliate when the Trump Administration pushed ahead with sanctions aimed at crippling the construction of the Nord Stream 2 [2].

The sanctions have delayed the scheduled 2019 completion of the pipeline leaving it in limbo. Putin is tired of financing Ukraine's war against Russia [3]. They are planning to go long, ten years with low oil prices [4]. The United States will have to impose tariffs in order to save it's domestic oil producers [7]. We now know that the murder of Soleimani was a desperate move by Trump to head off Russia's retaliatory move to destroy oil prices. Putin had him literally and figuratively over a barrel. Trump was attempting to save American fracking companies from oil price collapse. 


TRUMP'S "DEAL" WITH RUSSIA AND SAUDI ARABIA

The world is being told a deal has been brokered; but there is no true deal [8]. The so called deal only lasts two years, ending at the same time the "pandemic" is expected to be over. Since there is no place to store the oil being pumped out of the ground at the moment. This will only be a timeout, there will be a resumption of hostilities until the sanctions are lifted on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. 

SACRIFICING THE AMERICA'S ELDERLY AND WORKING CLASS ON THE ALTAR OF CAPITALISM

It has now been revealed that coronavirus protests are being orchestrated by the far right in America [5]. In a desperate attempt to get the economy going they are using big lie propaganda to downplay the lethality of the virus. The American Ruling Class will kill off the elderly and workers in order to try and save their wealth. This is where America is at the moment.
