BULLHOCKEY. NOONE and I mean NOONE trusts either the Saudis or the Iranians.
Oriental Review
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriental_Review
Oriental Review (OR) is an online magazine that describes itself as “an international e-journal focusing on current political issues in Eurasia and beyond”.[2] It was founded in 2010.[2] Despite its claims of editorial independence, the website has been described as under the control of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).
Links to Russian intelligence
In March 2022, it was described by the British and American governments as under the control of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), Russia’s primary external intelligence agency, founded among other online magazines for the purpose of promoting disinformation abroad.[3][4] The United States Department of the Treasury said:
Both media outlets spread many types of disinformation about international organizations, military conflicts, protests, and any divisive issues that they can exploit. ... New Eastern Outlook and Oriental Review are being designated pursuant to [Executive Order] 14024 for being owned or controlled by, or for having acted or purported to act for or on behalf, directly or indirectly, the [Government of the Russian Federation].[5]
According to the Atlantic Council, it has been linked to the Strategic Culture Foundation (SCF), a Russian think tank and online magazine that is regarded as an arm of Russian state interests by critics.[6] The website has been described as in the same online ecosystem as pro-Russian network of online media outlets Russia Insider, The Duran, Geopolitica.ru, MintPress News, the Centre for Research on Globalization,[7] the New Eastern Outlook magazine,[4][5] online news sites NewsFront, SouthFront, Moscow-based think tank Katehon,[8] the Center for Syncretic Studies, 4pt.su, Eurasianist Archive, Fort Russ, and the Voltaire Network.[9]
Promotion of conspiracy theories
The Treasury accused the Russian government of promoting disinformation regarding the Russo-Ukrainian War and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as promoting COVID-19 disinformation, through Oriental Review.[4][5] The website has also promoted conspiracy theories surrounding the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury, England, by Russian agents using the novichok nerve agent.[1] It has also promoted conspiracy theories on climate change, claiming that climate change mitigation measures are neo-Nazi in intent.[10]
Sanctions
Owing to its reputed links to Russian intelligence services, Oriental Review was subject to official sanctions from the American and British governments following the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.[11][12][13][14][15]

Many uncertain assumptions in that statement.
The petrodollar is the foundation of US economic power? Really?

I doubt that the Sunni world is going to reconcile with the Shia world.
“Saudi Arabia’s desire to join BRICS and the SCO”
The ONLY reason this happened is because the Democrats, the people who gave us the Ukraine War, decided to toss aside Saudi Arabia to score points against Trump after the Khashoggi killing, I guess to try to spark an oil crisis in time for the 2020 election. It didn’t take many memory cells in MBS to remember what Biden said about PUNISHING Saudi Arabia during the 2020 campaign.
...and so now we get payback and it will be seen in a collapsing US dollar, as the rest of the world soon will no longer support it.
“Despite its claims of editorial independence, the website has been described as under the control of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).”
So the Saudi-Iran hookup is FAKE NEWS then?
“Despite its claims of editorial independence, the website has been described as under the control of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).”
...along with they’re reporting on Saudi Arabia joining BRICS and SCO (two economic alliances lead by Russia and China, and without the US), and Saudi Arabia starting to ditch the Petro Dollar?
Must all be fake news, since the Neocons don’t like who is reporting it?
LOL, new standard here, I guess.
That's a problem.
China doesn't trust or respect our leaders or 51+ intelligence goons.
We (conservative Americans) don't trust them.
The middle east after Afghanistan doesn't trust 'em... and probably most of the world doesn't trust them either.
Our country will pay a price for our stupid choices... and this king of move against us - uniting our enemies - is the beginning.
America's problem is we've allowed goons to run the country... Goons and perverts and while our 'press' pushes their lies - most people - world over - won't.
The TaterPuppet has done nice work for his handlers.
This Gina? Advantage Russia!
OMG!!! Since H.G.W. Bush days numerous pundits have been proclaiming, again and again, that this or that action or event is going to spell the death of king dollar.
It is nonsense.
I hate spellcheck. The only thing worse than spellcheck is, no spellcheck.
Just like the neocons are claiming that anyone, and I mean anyone, that is against their dirty little war is a Russian agent? You are all a pack of lying hyenas.
That doesn’t really address the content. And how would you describe American’s fifth estate? How are they working out for you?
Exactly. And the NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, etc.. aren’t state media. They believe a small sailboat with a couple people blew up the Nordstream pipeline over the obvious suspect.
And...
The taliban won’t retake Afghanistan;
US banks are strong;
US borders are secure;
The laptop is Russian disinformation;
The Bidens didn’t take money from China;
COVID didn’t begin in a lab;
Masks stop the spread;
The vaccine stops the spread;
The vaccine is better than natural immunity;
Russia won’t invade Ukraine;
Russia’s economy will collapse from the sanctions;
Inflation is transitory;
Unemployment is 3.6 percent;
Epstein committed suicide;
Trump was compromised by Russia;
Hunter earned a legitimate income from Ukraine and China
America didn’t blow up the Nordstream pipeline;
Rising gas prices aren’t a result of climate policies;
Men are women, women are men;
Our politicians are looking out for our interests;
yadayadayada.

None of which makes any argument about the dollar, and all of which are irrelevant to international finance and the dollar.
Really? Maybe you want to read the list again. Bank failures, inflation, unemployment, gas prices all have a large impact on the dollar. Without any BRIC plan to dedollarize, they say it will happen like this. Many banks are in trouble because of rising interest rates, as a result the FED can no longer conduct QT or raise interest rates. In a couple days the FED has already increased its balance sheet more than all the tightening over the last 8 months to avert bank failures. As result inflation will rage out of control, and countries will look for a safe haven from the dollar. For a while the dollar will maintain because it will be the best house on the block, but over time other countries will look for another safe haven besides the dollar and the dollar will collapse. Ray Dalio knows a little more than me so listen to him. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=ray+dalio+collapse+of+the+dollar&docid=608024265743085297&mid=12D2D26160E874A8731912D2D26160E874A87319&view=detail&FORM=VIRE
