Saudi Arabia has threatened to abandon USD and use Yuan for oil and it looks like they are moving ahead.
The last two people to threaten the PetroDollar were Saddam and Gaddafi.
- bayesian_horse 4y agoOn the one hand you seem to think they are clever and cunning, on the other hand they think they can stage a mass casualty attack on US soil (for what reason exactly?) without the US ever finding out and retaliating. I think the fact that no US government retaliated against Saudi Arabia for 9/11 is quite a bit of evidence in favor of there being no covered-up evidence that the Saudi Arabian government intentionally supported or even condoned this attack. Their dealings with the US in the past few decades tell me they know better than to poke the bear.

- bayesian_horse 4y agoThe US government has an abysmal history of sitting on secrets. Also, for the sitting government, revealing that information would be more harmful and inconvenient than for the Saudis. What are they gonna do, sanction their oil exports?
