Is the petro dollar dead?
For the first time in nearly 50 years America starting to loose the petrodollar power grip it has on the rest of the world.
China and Russia have been working towards a gold back (oil) trade for quite some time now and are finally ready to cut out the petrodollar completely.
They have created the Belt and Road Initiative, a trade agreement with 65 other countries (and counting) that will use the yuan and gold for trade rather than the petrodollar.
The United States isn't included in this initiative, by its governments own choice.
This is a very bad sign for what's about to come to Americans.
Their whole way of life is about to change and the government isn't even warning it's citizens about this potential coming crisis.
So when things change unexpectedly it will be very ugly for the unprepared masses.
And with Venezuela leaving the petrodollar for the gold backed yuan (for oil trade), you can feel a shift of power coming fast.
You have to understand that America makes a lot of it's money through currency exchanges. Since they force the entire world trade oil with American Dollars (petrodollar), they make a nice fee every time a countries exchanges it's currency for petrodollars to pay for goods. So if the petrodollar dies this country will decline extremely fast.
America is a country that survives on consumerism, and when the money dries up the party will all be over.
Many of the manufacturing jobs have relocated to other countries to save on the ridiculously high taxes that crush businesses.
Nearly everything is imported from china and other countries while exporting very little of its own goods.
Having to trade in the petrodollar is what gives America its power, and that is changing rapidly.
Americas greatest "asset" is it's student loan DEBT.
Now correct me if I'm wrong but debt is not an asset.
Assets are tangible items that can be turned into cash if needed (as·set ˈaset/ - PROPERTY owned by a person or company, regarded as having value and AVAILABLE to meet debts, commitments, or legacies).
I don't consider Debt without property as an asset, especially considering people can't afford to pay it back.
Unfortunately I don't see a way out of this mess and I don't think it is going to end well for many unprepared Americans.
The Petrodollar is dying, and along with it is Americas rein on the rest of the world.
Get ready for change!

Right On!
:) thanks man..
nice post I love the photos resteemed and upvoted keep up
thank you, I really appreciate that :)
But after all, Americans always have a solution to the problem with the dollar, this .....
that is very true, the petrodollar is tied to the war machine that drives this economy. I just don't think we have the money to start and fund any other wars unless we choose a resource rich country and move in really quick to steal that countries gold and/or oil.
And with all these nukes around the world at the ready, I don't know if any country is willing to risk nuclear war.

I hear this all the time from people that want to see America do poorly. US currency is used because the government behind it, and the economy is more stable. This isn't going to change. Plus oil is in abundance right now. The cost is low, and usage is going down. It will take years for that to change dramatically. They saying goes, "they are a day late, and a dollar short." Russia and China have corrupt governments that western countries prefer not to deal with.
did you even read my article or just the headline and then thought you knew enough to comment?
I read the whole thing. It's not as if it was long. I have been reading stuff like this for years. Why would you even ask that?
Yes, the cost of oil is low because of abundance, but that is not good for the petro dollar if u understand supply and demand.
65 countries HAVE ALREADY SIGNED TRADE AGREEMENTS to trade on the belt and road initiative and without the dollar, this IS starting to happen..
im trying to prepare people because I truly believe this.
I love this country and its citizens but im not going to eat the shit sandwhich the government is trying to feed me and im not going down without putting my 2 sense in..
and how dare u say i want to see this country do poorly, i am a DISABLED COMBAT VETERAN who served in TWO tours! And now because of my love for this country Im trying to warn the citizens of a huge problem!
Ok calm down. I made a comment on a post. I would recommend that you stop buying into the crap RT and other sources tout. Russia's economy has had a decline. It's not a strong economy because it lacks transparency. I also said nothing about your service. I thank you for that. But there are tons of sources that try and denounce America. Plus the debt is high, yes. Most of that money is owed to Americans, not other countries. Plus compared to GDP percentage we are not as bad as most other countries.
I didnt mean to freak out. Ive been having a shit week and i might have taken it out on u a bit. I apologize for that.
No worries. Sorry you had a bad week. Look at the bright side, steem is up. :)
Right! :) Thanks for being so cool man.. take care
