Putin’s Victory in the War of Ukraine
Is The Day He Replaces the Petro Dollar
We have so fooled ourselves that America’s great magic was Democracy,
Freedom and Capitalism. It’s not. It’s almost exclusively the Petro Dollar – at least,
given today’s economy.
And here’s another surprise. That backing for the Petro Dollar, it’s not oil. It’s
war. ..And lots of it.
Americans, much like the rest of the world, are now so very tired of all this
damn war. And so goes the Petro Dollar into the night for ever more.
The greatest war machine the world has ever known. That my friends is the
GOLD at the end of this rainbow of our Petro Dollar – the might of the US military
to kick ass and to do so on demand. Welcome to American gold - WAR.
Knocking down the sovereign doors of Latin and South America to access their
labor, lands and resources; or those of Africa’s commodities; or punishing Saddam
for taking over Kuwait for half the world’s oil supply or a decade later, selling Iraqi
oil outside the Petro Dollar system; or decimating Libya and knocking off Gadhafi
for daring to introduce gold coins. Each one of these military operations bringing
in the next wave of hundreds of billions more value to that of our American Petro
Dollar.
Goldbug conspirators as well as economist of every breed, always missed this
side of the equation –America’s War Machine as its gold behind the Petro-Dollar.
Most experts oft say: There is nothing backing the US dollar. It’s just a piece of
paper. Guess they never met our US military. Therefore, they always – always -
grossly over-estimate that coming fall of the US Dollar – that is, until now.
Back in America’s heyday – the 1980’s, the US was only 5% the world
population, but we consumed 50% of all global resources. America proudly
pointed to Free Markets, Capitalism and Freedom. It was not Free Markets. It was
tanks, planes and missiles. And lots and lots of them.
In fact, America’s war-machine was used to subsidize Capitalism, Democracy,
and Freedom; maybe, the one saving grace of Western exploitation. Today’s
dictators do much the same. They subsidize their oppression with oil. We
understand when they dictators do it, but somehow missed that this is the real
secret to America’s Petro Dollar too.
This US War-Machine then backs this up by retailing all the accumulated global
resources around this Trading-platform we call the Petro-Dollar. We find that 60%
to 80% the value of every American Dollar is actually taken from this trade-
platform of the Petro-Dollar. That is to say, the dollar’s value is now carried by all
the foreign markets still using the dollar as their Global Reserve Currency to buy
and trade in oil.
Before Covid, the Petro Dollar made up 40%, maybe 60% the value of our
American Dollar. We have since added another $10 trillion more in gov’t
giveaways. All this - just the last 4 years. Our Federal debt now explodes at $30
trillion. Therefore, the Petro Dollar is now required to carry even more value of
our American Dollar.
We refer to the American Dollar as that value taken directly from the US
economy and the Petro-Dollar as that value taken from other nations still using
the dollar for their Global Reserve Currency.
As little as just 10% to 30% of today’s US Dollar has any direct correlation to
America’s national economic strength – (once all gov’t subsidy supports have
been removed - as we have in most industries). All the rest of our buying power –
60% to 80% of it, is taken exclusively from this side of our dollar – the Petro
Dollar.
Put simply, lose the Petro-Dollar means we just lost 80% the dollars buying
power. It’s called Hyper-inflation. Now American’s will finally learn what hyper-
inflation really means.
Try Democracy and Free Markets once the US Dollar has imploded 95%. You
will then have a better idea where our economic miracles have been coming from
these last 80 years. It was not democracy. It definitely was not Capitalism or Free
Markets.
Those Free Markets are more like a Vegas slot machine, for they are rigged
1,000 to 1 by monopoly manipulation. Sometimes more. A discussion for another
day.
Today, this façade is being teared away. The War of Ukraine is the tipping
point. This is where the US has officially lost its ability to guarantee affordable oil.
No matter our Free Markets and all the facades they like to call Capitalism. No
cheap oil, no Petro-Dollar. It really is just that simple.
How did we lose access to cheap oil and the Petro-Dollar along with it?
Because all the might of the US military to stand for American interest has just
vanished. This side of America’s Gold is gone. It finds its official end here with the
War of Ukraine and the loss of yet another nation to Putin annexation. America
will not confront Russia directly. Every nation now knows, America’s gold of its old
war machine is no longer. America has lost its bite and so the magic spell broken –
no more cheap oil.
America’s military might is not for want of logistics, funding or even
competency. Our military is folding under the growing weight of doubt, guilt and
dreadful foreign policy. It falls there in step with our own will to stand and fight as
a nation of one people. And most of the world would say, Amen to that. Stop all
this American warmongering.
Politicians have heard the call.
The War of Ukraine is the final step where Russia, has now replaced America,
as the ONLY AFFORDABLE OIL left to the world. Most of all, Putin has the
dedicated military might to back up and kick ass - to guarantee his cheap oil. Putin
is the new pimp daddy of the world – not because of the cheap oil alone, but
because everyone knows: ‘You don’t mess with Putin. The end is simple - nuclear
holocaust.’
Germany gets the message loud and clear. So does Italy and now France. (This
is from a year ago – 2022) Germany promptly announced they will use the Russian
Rubble to transact their oil purchase – of course, in a round-about way. Italy just
joined in. France is offering a long-winded version of it. Macron calls it ‘not
humiliating Russia.’
No way Europe is going to war with Russia. Not worth a nuclear holocaust.
Please. Never going to happen. Europe is more than happy to just use the Russian
Rubble instead.
Yes, of course, this is all being done at the expense of America’s Petro Dollar,
but, hey, they can live with that. So can the rest of the world. Every week, another
country or two joining them.
That’s before talking of the BRIC countries and several more nations looking to
join them - too. Just this week, the East Asian nations building upon their own
theme of dumping the US Dollar for a new intra-trade currency made of Malasia,
Indonesia, Thailand, Singapura and the Philippines. They are looking to sign an
agreement by this very November 2022. Another dozen countries lined up just
behind them also interested in joining their club.
This my friends, this is the story of the War of Ukraine, which is to say, this is
the End of our American Petro-Dollar.
Putin’s victory of Ukraine is the day Russia has finally replaced the Petro Dollar.
So ends America as a force of any relevancy in the world hereafter. Welcome to
Putin’s War of Ukraine. Good bye American Petro-Dollar.
