Скачать или смотреть America's Worst Nightmare Just Happened—Saudi Arabia Joins BRICS / Yanis Varoufakis

Two weeks ago in a secure video call, a senior Middle Eastern finance official told me something that was supposed to stay confidential: "It's done—Saudi Arabia is joining BRICS, and we're bringing the entire Gulf with us; the Americans have no idea what's about to hit them." Yesterday it became public: Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Iran—controlling one-third of global proven oil reserves—just joined a bloc explicitly designed to reduce dollar dependence, and they're bringing roughly $2.2 trillion in sovereign wealth with them. This isn't the petrodollar dying slowly as I warned before—this is active execution: China (largest energy importer) can now buy Saudi oil in yuan without touching dollars, and approximately 40% of global GDP just gained access to 30% of global oil without needing dollar reserves. A Saudi Finance Ministry economist told me their models show this move will collapse global dollar demand for energy transactions by 30-40%—not gradually over decades, but within years—and when central banks need fewer dollar reserves, US Treasury interest costs explode, pension funds crater, and your purchasing power evaporates. The infrastructure for a post-dollar world isn't being built—it's already operational, and Saudi Arabia just plugged Middle Eastern energy directly into it.
