::::::::::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.

:::::::::::That doesn't change that fact that the agreement itself is unconstitutional. Nor does it change the fact that the Saudis are using the petrodollar as leverage, to ensure that we do its bidding by attacking its enemies on false pretenses while covertly supporting the same al-Qaeda and ISIS terrorists we claim to be fighting. This agreement is directly responsible for the current crisis in the Middle East and the terror crises stemming from it across the world. And since you want to bring up world wars, I wouldn't be surprised if the effects of this agreement ends up ''causing'' the next world war.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 21:13, 25 February 2020 (EST)
