A.) The global demand for the US dollar/federal reserve note created by the petrodollar arrangement is critical to the federal reserve banking system as every dollar created must be paid back to them with interest. This is a lynchpin of western capitalism.

B.)The American way of life i.e. living beyond our means is now hopelessly dependent upon a large stable global demand for US dollars brought about by the petrodollar arrangement. The undoing of the arrangement will certainly have deleterious consequences, many of which can't even be anticipated.

C.) a sudden shift in the global demand for the US dollar would bring all those global dollars home (to roost so to speak). More dollars chasing the same amount of goods and services equals inflation.

D.) Syria is all about maintaining global dollar and, thus, western banking hegemony in an era of increasing anti-petrodollar forces. We need only look at the past two decades of US foreign policy actions and effects to confirm this.

E.) there is a large body of information that supports this hypothesis. I have linked to some of this information to support my hypothesis. You have offered nothing more than a snobbish patronizing attitude in support of your own theory.
