Putin must be ecstatic. Oil is traded in dollars. Countries end up being forced to use dollars for the oil trading transactions. China, Russia, Iran, N. Korea and others could standardize on something like a petroYuan. China's currency. In recent times Russia, Venezuela, Syrian, N. Korea, India and Iran have signed deals in their currencies. Not in dollars.

They're going to tell us to F-off and stop using dollars. Then, because we've printed so much paper backed by nothing, the value of the dollar is going to plunge and we will have inflation.

Keep winning there Trump administration.

Putin sells Oil in Euro's and other Currencies to avoid being dependent on PetroDollars.

So,the Orange Anus and Manuchin wants to tell Iraq they can not use the Oil payment System. The SWIFT which is the international currency exchange system is tied to the Oil Payment System. Lot's a luck Suckers.

China And Russia are working on the ground in the Middle East to kick our sorry asses to the curb.

Saddam Hussein announced in late 2000 that he wanted to be paid in Euros instead of dollars. A few years later, the US invaded Iraq.

This is possibly a coincidence. Venezuela also has turned its back on petrodollar oil contracts (see https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-09-14/oil-rich-venezuela-stops-accepting-dollars) and I imagine there are other oil-exporting countries attempting to do the same.

But I don't think it stops there. I believe there is a very real push to knock the dollar off as the world's currency (see https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/11/the-us-dollar-may-be-at-risk-as-the-global-reserve-currency.html). If that is so, the US will lose much of its hegemony. It is all about power and who wields it IMO.

Mafia is kind

I am well aware of Zero Hedge though. I first heard of them when they were pushing Ukraine or Russia denial during the impeachment hearings.

Cheney destroyed Iraq because of the threat to use other Currencies other than Dollars.

I still hope they tell us to go home.

take us is anyone's guess.

Does this mean we’ll freeze Western European bank accounts when we’re asked to leave those countries? We haven’t paid our NATO dues for almost two years now.

Yep, mafia tactics indeed.

We are printing money backed by soon to be worthless Petroleum.

events, when he decided to assassinate a top leader of a middle eastern country. Of course in Trump's eyes, impeachment is to blame.

A bullying organised crime outfit backed up by real financial-system as well as brute power.

when I said he was going to try and take their lunch money next.

However, they've probably stolen it from the WSJ - the site does not look like a regular news organisation, and Twitter says about their Twitter account it has "seen unusual activity - do you want to proceed?". Use this if at your own risk:

like it. I guess that a summary from RS would have been better than a pay wall.
