Author Middelkoop: Oil Price Decline Represents US 'Economic Warfare'

   The plunge of oil prices to 5 ½-year lows stems partly from U.S. "economic warfare" against its enemies, says financial writer/money manager Willem Middelkoop.

"The current price can only partially be explained by technical factors like growing U.S. oil production," he tells Russia's state-controlled RT news service.

"The price declines were also caused by heavy selling in the American futures markets, and you could call that a form of economic warfare."
And what warfare is that?

"It is an all-out economic war between the U.S. and Russia now," Middelkoop, founder of the Commodity Discovery investment Fund, says. "If we see who has more problems [caused] by current oil, they are Russia, Iran, Venezuela. These countries can be seen as enemies of the U.S."
