Saudi Arabia is not renewing the 50-year-old petrodollar deal they struck with the United States back in the 1970s.

Here are some posts about this highly significant story.

This is hugely significant because the petrodollar deal helped cement the US Dollar as the world’s reserve currency after it was fully taken off the gold standard. Countries were basically forced via the threat of American military force to use the US Dollar if they wanted to buy oil on the international markets.

Now that nobody fears the power of the US military following a string of embarrassments in Afghanistan, the Ukraine and elsewhere, we are seeing countries move away from the US Dollar. That’s what BRICS is largely about. The Saudis not renewing this petrodollar deal is another indicator showing where things are heading.

Point blank, the days of the US Dollar being the world’s reserve currency are ending. Prepare yourself accordingly.
