The Petrodollar is. If it falls, all these neo-oligarchs go down with it.
And they drag ‘We the people” down with them, all to finance the buying of votes and power. Under those circumstances I`d gladly support slip knot ‘leashes’ for all the Oligarch weasels, and I imagine many more of ‘We the people’ would too!
Yup, The House of Saud has said take out Assad or else. The or else is the Saudis sell oil in denominations other then the US dollar. When that happens the US dollars is worthless. Now a worthless dollar would make Russia, China, Iran and a few others very happy. Which is why Russia, China and Iran are all in Syria backing Assad.
