monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Into non sequiturs again, I see.

It's not just Iran, there's lots of people wanting to have a pop at occupiers.

Of course the West is resented,

Well, don't sound so agreeable about it.

I wish we get out of all the areas in the ME and let them have the oil and concentrate on renewable energy which from what little I have read, is where the future is anyway.

There is no such thing as a petrodollar. It's conspiracy gibberish equal to a claim that Elvis and JFK were behind the 9/11 attacks.

Here you can read about it in detail:

The petrodollar is any U.S. dollar paid to oil-exporting countries in exchange for oil.

Since the dollar is a global currency, all international transactions are priced in dollars.

As a result, oil-exporting nations must receive dollars.

Most of them own their oil industries. That makes their national income dependent on the dollar's value. If it falls, so does their revenue.

If you insist on writing your world narrative, you’ll have to live in your own world.

I disagree with you more often than I agree but this time you nailed it, or rather nailed him.

Amongst a wide field that has to be one of the stupidest things Oralloy has ever said.

He's got so used to saying black is white that easily verified facts no longer matter.

Completely delusional.

What do you want to bet he's been kidnapped by aliens, and knows someone who married Bigfoot?

In what is set to be a major blow to the U.S.' increasingly fragile "petrodollar" system,

Venezuela announced on Wednesday that it would no longer accept U.S. dollars as payment for its crude oil exports. According to the Wall Street Journal, Venezuela has begun using euros in lieu of the dollar and will convert existing cash holdings into euros as well.

However, the official website of Venezuela's state oil company, PDVSA, has begun offering prices in the Chinese yuan, not euros. The decision is similar to that once made by former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who dropped the dollar in favor of the euro a few years prior to the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.

The move, though drastic, was not entirely unexpected. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro had stated earlier in the month that the country would look to "free" itself from the dollar within a week's time, following the U.S.' sanctions against the embattled nation.

It'll be a badge of honor if you change your opinion.

Oral,

I suddenly believe I can help color your black and white world. Just read this and think.

As soon as the Cubans and the Russians had shown up to play games in our back yard we should had send in the Marines for some live fire exercises.

It is mean and uncaring to made that nation population suffer due to the actions of a dictatorship that is not only not recognized by us but not by the EU nations either.

Of course Trump being in bed with the Russians limit our actions we should be taking.

As soon as the Cubans and the Russians had shown up

Where was Cuba before it suddenly appeared in America's backyard?
