People don't get it.
The primary currency of "the World." is not Dollars, it's OIL.
We held the middle ease Hostage, because all of their money MUST go through our banking system. That OIL money MUST return into our capital markets.
We then borrow against that "incoming" "recycling", Allowing, us to PRINT, which amounts to a disproportionate influx of "Resources/Buys" INTO the American ground base.
NOW, That WHOLE THINGAMaboob, is blown up.
We can NO LONGER enforce this system.. Ontop of the fact, that "Our Vassals" (the human rulers in the mid-ease) are "Extremely Unpopular.", These were merely the mud-hut people the British installed when they left and handed the keys to the 'Murikns
For example, Bahrain (royals), they straight up left, poof, if they went back, they would be killed.
That is to say, that whole region may enter Civil war. and IN CIVIL WAR, No one controls anything, that unpredictability makes the coordinated investment REQUIRED to EXTRACT OIL and SELL OIL, virtually impossible.
This is WHY.... KPLER... project that the Mid-Ease may only achieve 45% of Pre-War output FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. Representing a 15% immediate contraction of World Energy, and as you know the association between GDP and Energy is .95-.99.
Tp4 doesn't necessarily agree with this, if they side with the Eastrn security architecture, in principle, the Eurasian powers DO have the economic and industrial capacity to restore Extraction rates, BUHHHhhhhh, this makes no difference on OUR end, WE LOSE.
So, the power on the "Muriknu' side has to decide, our options are some combination of, Stagflation, World Conflagration, Deep Economic Depression. The only other option is to Continue the war, which will lead to Hyper-Inflation in the West.
At this point in time, the only thing that looks certain for America, is Insolvency, should there be a CALL- exercised on part of "The rest of the world".
Assuming they don't do that, basically our wiener falls off anyway.
