Plasschaert and the new look at Iraq

10-12-2022

In her recent briefing to the Security Council, the United Nations representative in Iraq, Jeanine Plasschaert, revealed what she had previously refrained from mentioning, and diagnosed the reality of the situation in a way through which she regained confidence from those provoked by her previous briefings in which she tried to alleviate the bitterness of what is happening, and to convey A message of optimism to the international community, hinting at the possibility of reforming matters and achieving what the Iraqis aspire to achieve.

This time, Plasschaert abandoned her diplomatic language to a certain extent, and put points on the letters, even if she angered the political leaders, as well as the big whales who did not exonerate one of them, but put them in one level, and made it clear that they were all immersed in the game of rampant corruption, And that they are dragging the country into a prolonged and fatal conflict, and ruled by the lack of political, economic and social prospects for any future development, and the people’s lack of hope.

And when Plasschaert, too, loses hope that the situation can be fixed, even if it is gradually developed, this means that she is cleared of her responsibility, which may develop into the situation, especially since she has only a few months to stay in Baghdad, and thus throws the ball in the court of the international community Who seemed, until recently, to be preoccupied with issues that are, for him, more important and larger, indifferent to what the situation in Iraq might become. But the situation seems to have changed after the Ukraine war, as the whole world has become a hot tin that portends a lot. Most countries, especially the ones that the fire is about to approach, have begun to reconsider their priorities, and the issue of access to energy has taken precedence over other issues. And here we are witnessing the escalation of images of the thirst of Americans, and the West in general, for oil that exceeded all previous estimates, even those estimates referred to by the American researcher, Ian Rutledge, in his remarkable book “The Thirst for Oil.” The latest reports reveal that the Americans are facing today the dilemma of maintaining the access of oil to the West from its sources, and the decline of the American emergency oil reserves to a level not seen in more than seventy years. Also, the scenes of turning off the lights in the capital of light, Paris, and long queues of cars standing in front of gas stations in more than one European capital, reflected the need for these countries to rearrange their priorities and focus their attention again on the oil countries, including Iraq of course. The fever of running after fuel was increased by the recent decision of “OPEC +” to cut production, which caused “disappointment” with Washington, which used to impose its guardianship on oil countries and force them to take policies consistent with their desires in the field of oil.
