[Oil and Energy Investor with Dr. Kent Moors] May 5, 2019 Dear Oil & Energy Investor, Let me tell you a riddle. What do a squeaky wheel, Saudi Arabia, and China have in common? The answer is this: when they want something, they get it. A squeaky wheel, as the proverb goes, gets the grease. Saudi Arabia is the de facto leader of OPEC. When the Saudis want something to happen in the oil market, say, higher or lower prices, they know exactly what to do to get it. And they often do. But today, I'd like to talk about China. They haven't gotten what they want yet, but it's looking likely. From all the moves and threats that China has made toward the U.S. regarding their territory in the South China Sea, it appears that the Chinese are looking to start a war. And they just might get it. Beijing has been [authorizing more aggressive measures]( toward the U.S. Navy ships in the South China Sea. They've threatened to sink two U.S. aircraft carriers and kill 10,000 U.S. sailors to force us out of these disputed waters. PLA Air Force Colonel Commandant Dai Xu said at the end of last year that "If the U.S. warships break into Chinese waters again, I suggest that two warships should be sent: one to stop it, and another one to ram it." These threats alone are indications that the Chinese could turn to declaring war if they so choose. In other words, in the eyes of the Chinese, the time for negotiations have long since passed, and that force is the only method they're advocating for. This is what led them to develop what they've called their "Assassin's Mace" missile, which, when it was announced, became a significant concern to the U.S. Navy. Former U.S. Lieutenant General Wallace C. Gregson has already commented on the similarities of this situation and World War I. "In 1914, during an era when war was considered illogical and unlikely... [a] violent act sparked an unexpected war of unprecedented carnage... Today, the South China Sea is the most dangerous area in the world. Hostile statements and aggressive actions create dry tinder, awaiting only a spark to burst into conflagration - with unimagined consequences." All this is why the Pentagon [immediately began funding]( special projects for U.S. defense contractors to begin working on to counter the Chinese. We may not want war, but if we are pushed to it, we will not be caught off guard. The defense contractors tasked with creating offensive and defensive weaponry and technology have [risen to the occasion]( and developed countermeasures that can be used against the Chinese if necessary - in particular, to counter its famous "Assassin's Mace" missile. I've done extensive research on this ongoing situation, so if you'd like to learn more about the U.S.'s countermeasures and the profit potential that is inherent in them, just [click here](.
