>>18697387 it's been oil's Reserve currency. We traded the protection of Saudia Arabia with our military at all times in exchange for the Saudi's requiring that all of their oil be bought with the US Dollar by all countries. Soon other middle eastern countries joined in on this same deal after the Saudi's did around 1947.
Once the dollar was stripped of its gold backing, the only thing holding up the dollar is that it is required for the purchase of foreign oil.
Once the middle eastern countries tell us to get lost, it's bye bye for the US Dollar.
Well at least it's bye bye for the Federal Reserve version of the US Dollar.
TRUST THE PLAN!
