    Hahahaha!

    The petrodollar was their yoke on the United States! We couldn’t develop a green energy sector under the toxic corruption of the petrodollar and those morons just… turned away?

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    I hope this article holds up. Interesting times just got a little more interesting.

        That may be a part of it, but he’s also very tight with the Saudi royals, hence Kushner’s multi-billion dollar deal with them.

        You are correct that it appeals to libertarians as well though. It was one of the few times he didn’t get boos when he spoke at their convention.

    I had heard about the petro-dollar exit but the new digital currency they want to implement is news to me. They have quite a few central banks are involved. I wonder what this will do to US finances?
