Are concepts like 'PetroDollar' and 'serviceable debt' and 'Oil paid in US Dollars' too complicated to understand?? Yeah, me too! 😞 Click on image and read this essay... /jd tweet by Shanaka Anslem Perera: https://x.com/shanaka86/status/2040984431058661410 '...The United States holds $39 trillion in gross national debt. That debt is serviceable because foreign governments buy Treasuries. Foreign governments buy Treasuries because they accumulate dollars. They accumulate dollars because oil is priced in dollars. If oil stops being priced in dollars, the demand that finances the debt weakens. Saudi Arabia’s Treasury holdings fell to $134.8 billion in January 2026, down $14.7 billion in a single month. The Saudis let the 1974 agreement lapse in June 2024 without renewal. The recycling loop that Kissinger built is loosening at the same moment that the strait through which it operated is controlled by a hostile military collecting tolls in a rival currency...' #JD20260406 #JDLinkBlog #Iran #USA #Israel #EndlessWar #IranWar #UKpol #USpol #EUpol #Palestine all for #Israel #Epstein #EpsteinWars more by Shanaka Anslem Perera https://substack.com/@shanakaanslemperera #ShanakaAnslemPerera

    #Capitalism 'An American showed what his local Krispy Kreme does with unsold donuts at night. Straight into the trash. After private equity took over, the price of a dozen climbed to $22. And instead of selling them cheaper… They’d rather WASTE the food than lower the profit margin.' tweet: https://x.com/MatrixMysteries/status/2040587975399292977

    Before the Debate Starts: The Six Questions That Actually Explain This War - By Robert Pape https://escalationtrap.substack.com/p/before-the-debate-starts-the-six 1. Is This About Trump—or Something Deeper? [...] The answer is: Trump matters. But the trajectory is structural—and decades in the making. 2. What Is the Strongest Case for the Administration’s Strategy—and Where Does It Break Down? [...] The problem is the assumption embedded in that logic: that limited force can change incentives without triggering counter-escalation that expands the conflict. 3. Why Is Iran’s Power Changing Now—If It Always Had This Capability? [...] That is precisely why Iran did not act first. It waited for the US to become the “aggressor” and the world to blame the US for everything that followed. 4. If Anyone Can Disrupt Hormuz, How Can Iran “Control” It? [...] The Strait of Hormuz carries roughly 20 percent of globally traded oil. That system does not require perfect security—but it does require predictable risk. 5. Is There Still an Off-Ramp? [...] This is not a state negotiating from vulnerability. It is negotiating from leverage. 6. What Should We Watch Next? [...] Watch logistics—not rhetoric [...] https://escalationtrap.substack.com/p/before-the-debate-starts-the-six #JD20260406 #JDLinkBlog #Iran #USA #Israel #EndlessWar #IranWar #UKpol #USpol #EUpol #Palestine all for #Israel

  • @jd I understand that the Fed is already having to buy up otherwise unsold US bonds already. I'm not an economist, but that seems bad.
