Without last week’s Beijing-brokered deal, China would have had to rely on maritime routes under the control of the powerful US Navy to facilitate the forthcoming explosion in bilateral real-sector trade, but now everything can be conducted much more securely via the Iranian-transiting CCAWAEC. Looking forward, there’s also a theoretical possibility of Chinese energy investments in Iran connecting the Gulf to Central Asia and thenceforth to the People’s Republic, thus fully securing its strategic interests.
That’s still a far way’s off, if it even happens at all that is, but it nevertheless can’t be ruled out. Saudi Arabia’s desire to join BRICS and the SCO, which are the most influential multipolar organizations in the world right now, could turn this scenario into a reality a lot sooner than even the most optimistic observers might have expected. All of this in and of itself will herald a revolution in geo-economic affairs, and that’s even without Saudi Arabia having yet to throw its full support behind the “petroyuan”.
Once this major oil exporter begins to sell its resources in non-dollar-denominated currencies like China’s, then the petrodollar upon which the economic-financial aspect of the US’ unipolar hegemony is predicated will be dealt a deathblow. The global systemic transition to multipolarity and the impending trifurcation of International Relations that will precede the final inevitable form of this process would unprecedentedly accelerate once this happens, thus further hastening America’s ongoing demise.
About those aforementioned processes, they were already made irreversible by the special operation that Russia was forced to commence in defense of its national security red lines in Ukraine after NATO clandestinely crossed them there and subsequently rejected Moscow’s security guarantee requests for politically resolving their resultant security dilemma. Over the past year, the New York Times was forced to admit that not only did the sanctions fail, but even the plot to “isolate” Russia did too.
These outcomes were largely the result of Russia’s example inspiring the Global South to rise up against neo-colonialism by refusing to comply with the demands placed upon them by the US-led West’s Golden Billion to unilaterally sacrifice their own interests simply to serve that de facto New Cold War bloc’s. India played the leading role in this respect due to its status as the world’s largest developing country, which gave comparatively medium- and smaller-sized ones the confidence to follow in its footsteps.
Unlike that ‘Russia Collapse’ article posted a while back, now we return to our own reality.
It’s a shame these people don’t really see what’s going on, the truth of it they’re wrapped up in a little Bubble and they think That the world is going to their view of reality. That’s not going to happen
Yup, all it takes is a bigger hammer.

This is the reason why China bought and paid the Biden family.They own President Biden and h9s whole family, and China can destroy Biden just as fast as they created him.
Make no mistake about it. BIden is a traitor to the UNited States.
Whats more China will assassinate Trump is they need to. The game is too far a foot for them to play nice.
The invasion of Taiwan will happen as soon as China estimates that the US forces in the East are undermanned and under equipped due to Biden draining the US military of oil and ordinance for Ukraine.
BIden is not a legitimate President. Covid election rules which were illegal and unconstitutional is why Biden occupies the oval office now.China caused the pandemic.
Its time to get rid of Biden and his Marxist running dogs any way we can.
Russia can't sell gas anymore, so they are selling gaslighting.
Any rapprochement between Iran and the Saudis will necessarily make war in the Middle East a certainty.
Great job neocons! You are crashing our economy. Damned vermin.
And glass House.😷
I’m not a neocon, I didn’t start any wars
you must be thinking of Vladimir Putin ... why is it that you NEVER criticize him??
and the Biden democrats are the ones ruining the economy, not “neocons”, the sanctions, or anything else
On the heels of this deal President Xi is headed to Moscow next week for three days of meetings, then China will host Brazil's president Lula for four days.
Nah the Uniform Commercial Code digital dollar is the real culprit. This is just what the ruling class will blame the utter depression on.
Pretty convenient… kinda like they had this orchestrated like Obamacare and the plandemic.
Of course your are not a neocon because you have to be an American to be a neocon. You are a Canadian leftist and a fan of Turdeaux. You keep poking your nose into something that is none of your damned business.

The theological and social chasm between the Saudis and the Iranians is probably bigger and nastier than anything that existed between Catholics and Protestants back when they were fighting genocidal wars. They simply had to reestablish diplomatic contacts because their publics demanded it. The Saudis are the holders of the most sacred sites in Islam and the hajj, the journey to those sites is a religious requirement.
Also, the Iranians are probably a nuclear power and most likely the Saudis have purchased nuclear weapons from Pakistan, so they are likely in a cold war. Not having any contact with which to deescalate a situation is a bad idea.
Along with those reasons, someone who is talking to you is less likely to launch an attack on structures the existence of which your government depends. From that standpoint both parties live in glass houses and have a huge pile of bricks in the front yard.
The proxy wars in Syria and the rest of the Middle East will continue with Saudi Arabia financing terrorists whose main interest is attacking Iran and vice versa.
As far as any of this affecting the dollar, the chances are slim to none. Nobody wants Chinese money as the Chinese financial system is teetering on collapse. Even if one side or the other didn’t have access to Swift, the means by which dollars are transferred, there are other systems. As a last resort they can fly dollars in boxes.
We think the Saudis hate us, which is probably true. The Iranians actually need the US as something to focus the anger of their populace against so that anger doesn’t get turned towards them. But the anger each side has towards the US is nothing compared to what they feel for each other. The dollar is no danger. As for China taking a leading diplomatic role, each side needed to reopen diplomatic relations so badly Italy or Cypress could probably have pulled it off.
My bad. Let me fix it. You are a Canadian and a bleating slave of Turdeaux.
Only neocon fools do not realize that they have driven Russia into a Gina’s arms and that the ChiComs are sending weapons to Russia through North Korea.
