The U.S. has been using this for 55 years—you still don’t get it? When the Middle East gets chaotic, the whole world pays the price.

Have you noticed? Every time the dollar has a problem, the Middle East gets into a war.
In 1971, the dollar was uncoupled from gold. Everyone stopped trusting the dollar and started dumping it. Two years later, the Middle East war broke out. Oil prices surged from $2.7 to $13—up 4x in three months. Then the U.S. told Saudi Arabia: Oil can only be settled in dollars. And the money you earn, you still have to use to buy my U.S. bonds. Would Saudi Arabia dare to say no?
In 1979, gold also skyrocketed again, and everyone shouted, “The dollar is no good.” What a coincidence—the Iran-Iraq War began. Oil prices rose from $13 to $40, and it kept rising for years.
In 2000, the internet bubble burst, and the dollar crashed.
In 2001, “9/11” happened. The U.S. personally stepped in to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq. Oil prices rose from $9.7 to $147.
Do you understand now? The script is exactly the same: when U.S. dollar hegemony is hit → war breaks out in the Middle East → oil prices soar → the whole world rushes to buy dollars → the U.S. scoops up the dip → the crisis is resolved.
So what about now? Gold has risen to $5600, and the Federal Reserve is preparing to cut interest rates—funds are getting ready to run. Guess whether the Middle East will stop soon?
It’s impossible. How would the U.S. harvest if oil prices don’t stay high long-term? If the U.S. military isn’t fighting, who would still pay for protection fees? How do you resolve the trust crisis in U.S. bonds?
Stop always shouting that “the dollar is collapsing.” The reality is: high oil prices for the long term are the result the U.S. wants. When gold rises, oil prices rise with it; when gold falls, oil prices still have to carry on for years.
This isn’t a coincidence—it’s the same old script that hasn’t changed in 55 years. Those who understand are already making their moves. #霍尔木兹海峡再次关闭
