US Exxon benefits from Russia oil filed

American columnist Dean Henderson says that Exxon Mobil, America’s largest energy company, seeks its own benefits by helping Russia finding new oil-rich areas.

Exxon Mobil has recently helped the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin discover oil in one of the world’s most remote areas.

A well drilled in the Kara Sea region of the Arctic Ocean, with the assistance from Exxon, struck oil. The region has the potential to become one of the world’s most important crude-producing areas.

Henderson said that the company “go(es) around politics” adding “they don’t even care what side you’re on as long as there is oil on the ground, they are going to make some money out of it.”

“This is real politic where you know capital always charms the interests of governments even if those interests are misguided, it does not matter you’ll find these corporations and their profiting it doesn’t matter which country,” he told Press TV on Sunday.

He also said “the United States really should nationalize the assets of Exxon Mobil and Chevron Texaco and turn it into a department of energy that is focused on alternative energy and domestic production.”

Henderson said this is not governments which run the world but rather multinationals and banks.

“The world isn’t really run by governments, governments can issue sanctions, they can even go to war, they can do things like that, but in the end it’s these multinational corporations and the banks that own them and the families that own these banks,” he opined.
