:::::::::Second, the petrodollar agreement is unconstitutional. Along with the Federal Reserve, it deprives the federal government of the ability to regulate the coining and value of money, both which are enumerated powers laid out in Article I, Section VIII. I would much rather have had a solution to the gold crisis which did ''not'' undermine both the Constitution and our very sovereignty.

:::::::::Third, even if the agreement weren't unconstitutional, the consequences of it have been devastating. We are between a rock and a hard place. Unless we completely overhaul our financial system and pay off our massive debt, we are limited to two choices: either we can continue to be financial slaves to the Saudi regime, or we can commit economic suicide. And if we choose financial slavery, we will end up doing very bad things on the international stage on behalf of a very bad regime who deep down inside wants us destroyed for not submitting to Wahhabi Islam. Is that what you want? I don't want that. And since you brought up the UK, France, and Germany, I wouldn't wish such a fate upon them. I wouldn't even wish such a fate upon countries like China and Russia. --[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 20:12, 25 February 2020 (EST)

::::::::::Well, let's begin by deciphering the forest from the trees. So, after Saudi Arabia bleeds the U.S. dry of gold, then we can buy our gold back with infrastructure and defense contracts, right?
::::::::::Buy in reality, these macroeconomic trade deals aren't quite as simple as an illuminati conspiracy theory makes it. The truth is, the trade agreements worked out under Nixon remained in force up until the War and Terror and fracking. Prior to that, the Nixon and Kissinger rested the global economy on a three-legged stool. The flows worked like this:
:::::::::::Saudi oil --> Japanese autos --> U.S. defense and infrastructure contracts --> Saudi Arabia
::::::::::also represented as
:::::::::::Saudi trade surplus with --> Japan trade surplus with --> United States surplus with --> Saudi Arabia
::::::::::conversely
:::::::::::Japan trade deficit with --> Saudi Arabia trade deficit with --> United States trade deficit with --> Japan.
::::::::::So, in reality, the U.S. never bought Saudi oil directly, but the Saudis held a lot of petrodollars they got from Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, ''et al''. So the subject is little more detailed than we've tried to simplify it. It was international trade issues that led the United States into two World Wars, after all. The main point here is, there has been no world war involving these same actors since the closing of the gold window, and all parties have prospered.
