An anon on 4chan talks of how he sees the connection between the Ukraine war and the upkeep of the petrodollar system the US runs on. The original text version is very rough to read, here is a more cleaned up essay version for your perusal:
This war is about trying to keep the western financial system afloat by making sure europe has to buy its energy using the US dollar.
The Fed is a private bank owned by the banks it lends to. Decades ago, the Fed decided to drop interest rate after 9/11 to kick start the economy. The low interest rates led to a housing bubble. The treasury and the Fed then prints money to bail out the banks – 4.5 trillion dollars worth.
People protest this with a “put bankers in jail” movement in the form of Occupy Wall Street. Banks used the money they were just given to buy up the media and funds identity politics movements. They cleverly used the media and identity politics to change “put bankers in jail” into “end white oppression”.
Gamergate exposed all of this in 2014.
After our wars in the middle east slowed down we started doing color revolutions in the middle east called the Arab spring. We overthrew Gaddafi because he wanted to start a gold backed African currency. Egypt overthrew its government, voted in the Muslim brotherhood, then had a military coup that held power until the Egyptians “voted” for people the US/Israel liked.
The only reason our printed money has value is because we force the rest of the world to buy oil and gas using the dollar; Gaddafi, Hussein, etc. were guilty of going against this.
The foundation of the global financial system is the dollar, it is the world reserve currency. The only reason it has value is because everyone is forced to use it to buy the energy they need to run their countries and if they don’t we overthrow their government. This is why we can print 30 trillion dollars over 20 years, give it to bankers and oligarchs, and still pretend it has value.
The bankers and oligarchs have used this money to buy up all the media and control all the politicians; the politicians don’t have power, they take orders from the oligarchs and bankers who help them “invest” for massive returns. Covid was another scam to create an excuse to print more money to bail out the bankers again.
We overthrew Ukraine in 2014 to secure gas pipelines to Europe because Russia had Nordstream and they are capable of selling gas to Europe without using dollars (Nordstream, was indeed, conveniently destroyed by mysterious forces that were definitely not Americans during the early part of the Russo-Ukraine war). There are leaked phone calls where Nuland, from the State Department, was picking who was going to be part of the new Ukrainian government, as well as emails from Hunter Biden in May of 2014 saying he can’t go golfing because he was “busy taking over Ukraine”. In the defense budget for 2013 they passed the Smith Mundt modernization act which legalizes the use of government propaganda on US citizens; between government propaganda and the banks owning the media, none of this will ever be discussed.
The plan all along was to destroy Nordstream to ensure Europe would be buying gas in dollars. We also funded green movements in Europe which shut down nuclear power (clean energy) and built CO2 producing gas power plants to make sure Europe was buying lots of gas and keeping the dollar valuable despite constantly printing dollars to line the pockets of bankers.
Putin invading Ukraine is the first real threat to the petrodollar system – the problem is we can’t invade and overthrow Putin because Russia has nukes. Therefore we have to send unlimited weapons and funding to Ukraine because it is essential so we can maintain the value of our bullshit printed money.
We are sacrificing a country’s people to try to keep our scam banking system afloat.
This was an interesting read. I already have an idea on what gives the petrodollar its value, but seeing how it ties in with the Ukraine war gives me an update on how it has continued to influence the world over the past few years. I do wonder how the supporters of the petrodollar will ultimately deal with Russia and China, though.

A slightly more manageable, but still difficult to follow green text version by the original author:
