The United States has been using this move for 55 years—can’t you figure it out? Once the Middle East gets thrown into chaos, the whole world foots the bill.


Have you noticed? Every time the dollar has trouble, the Middle East ends up fighting wars.
In 1971, the dollar was decoupled from gold; people stopped trusting the dollar and dumped it like crazy. Two years later, the Middle East War broke out, and oil prices jumped from $2.7 to $13—quadrupling in just three months. Then the U.S. told Saudi Arabia: Oil can only be settled in dollars, and the money you earn still has to be used to buy my U.S. debt (U.S. Treasuries). Would Saudi Arabia dare to say no?
In 1979, gold surged again, and everyone started shouting, “The dollar doesn’t work.” Coincidentally, the Iran-Iraq War started: oil prices rose from $13 to $40, and it kept going high for years.
In 2000, the dot-com bubble burst, and the dollar crashed.
In 2001, “911” happened; the U.S. personally stepped in to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq. Oil prices rose from $9.7 to $147.
Got it? The script is exactly the same: dollar hegemony hits an impact → Middle East goes to war → oil prices surge → the whole world rushes to grab dollars → the U.S. scoops up the dip → the crisis is resolved.
So what about now? Gold has risen to $5,600, the Federal Reserve is about to cut interest rates, and funds are preparing to run. Do you think the Middle East will stop anytime soon?
No way. If oil prices can’t stay high long-term, how would the U.S. harvest? If the U.S. military isn’t fighting, who would pay protection money? How do you resolve the trust crisis in U.S. Treasuries (U.S. debt)?
Stop always yelling, “The dollar is collapsing.” The reality is: long-term high oil prices are the outcome the U.S. wants. When gold rises, oil prices rise with it; when gold falls, oil still has to hold up for years.
This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the old script that hasn’t been changed for 55 years. Those who understand are already laying out their moves.
