๐ข ๐บ๐ธ ๐จ๐ณ What the end of petrodollars means | Atlantic Council
๐ถ๏ธ The age of the petrodollar is over. Saudi Arabia announced on June 13 2024 that it wonโt renew a landmark agreement with the US โ signed in June 1974 โ to sell oil exclusively in US dollars in exchange for security guarantees. The deal has ensured that the dollar dominates the global oil trade, and its demise is the latest in a recent trend toward de-dollarization as countries from the BRICS and regions including the Middle East and Asia move to promote local currencies in cross-border paymentsโin the process gradually reducing the dollarโs importance in international finance. The end of the petrodollar reflects significant changes not just in the US-Saudi relationship, but in the global balance of power.
๐ถ๏ธ Letโs take a look back to the Nixon administration. America was beset by high inflation and large current-account deficits amid an ongoing war in Vietnam, putting downward pressure on the dollar and threatening a run on US gold reserves. In 1971, the US ended the dollarโs convertibility to gold โ which had been the lynchpin of the Bretton Woods international monetary system of fixed exchange rates. Major currencies began to float against each other in 1973. Then came the oil shock that fall, when the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cut oil production and embargoed shipments to the US during the Yom Kippur war.
๐ถ๏ธ Fast-forward fifty years, and the dominant global position once enjoyed by the US has weakened noticeably. Its share of world GDP has declined from 40% in 1960 to 25%. Chinaโs economy has surpassed the US in Purchasing Power Parity terms. It now has to vie for influence with an increasingly assertive Beijing, while facing pushes even by allies such as Europe and elsewhere which want to become more autonomous from Washington in financial and foreign policy matters. Specifically, many countries have tried to develop alternative cross-border payment arrangements to the dollar to reduce their vulnerability to Washingtonโs increasing use of economic and financial sanctions.

However, at the moment it is obvious that if the problem with the accuracy of the ammunition cannot be solved, then the feasibility of its use for most purposes will raise very big questions .
The reality is that it is much more effective to drop four 500 or even 250 kg bombs on a building, but which will hit it, killing and wounding those inside, than one three-ton bomb, which will provide unrealistic emotions to everyone sitting inside, but will simply miss.
Aircraft bombs with UMPC in smaller calibers still sometimes experience problems with undershooting, overshooting, or malfunctioning. But this is compensated by the widespread use: a miss of one or even two of the four bombs dropped on a target will be less critical than a miss of one single bomb dropped.
Let's hope that they will be able to compensate for the deviation, or they will select more suitable targets for the existing CEP.
