The U.S. has been using this for 55 years—can’t you see it yet? Once the Middle East gets thrown into chaos, the whole world foots the bill.


Have you noticed? Every time the dollar has a problem, the Middle East goes to war.
In 1971, the dollar was unpegged from gold. Everyone stopped believing in the dollar and dumped it like crazy. Two years later, the Middle East war broke out: oil prices surged 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 has to be used to buy my U.S. debt. Would Saudi Arabia dare to say no?
In 1979, gold surged again, and everyone started shouting, “The dollar is no good anymore.” Coincidentally, the Iran-Iraq War broke out. Oil prices rose from $13 to $40—once it went up, it stayed high for years.
In 2000, the internet bubble burst, and the dollar crashed.
In 2001, “911” happened, and 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: dollar hegemony gets hit → the Middle East goes to war → oil prices explode upward → the whole world rushes to grab dollars → the U.S. scoops up the dip → the crisis is resolved.
What about now? Gold is up to $5,600, the Federal Reserve is about to cut interest rates, and funds are getting ready to bolt. Do you think the Middle East will stop anytime soon?
Impossible. If oil prices can’t stay high for the long term, how would the U.S. harvest? If the U.S. military isn’t fighting, who would keep paying for protection? How do you resolve the trust crisis in U.S. debt?
Don’t keep shouting, “The dollar is collapsing.” The reality is: long-term high oil prices are the outcome the U.S. wants. When gold rises, oil rises with it; when gold falls, oil still has to carry the burden for years.
This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the old script that hasn’t changed for 55 years. Those who understand are already planning their moves. #Gate现货衍生品双双冲进全球前三 $BTC $ETH
