Saudi Arabia has dropped the petrodollar and is reorienting its trade to align with China and its digital RMB system. What are your predictions? (hexbear.net)

Interesting times ahead.

I was wondering what you all see happening from this point and what sort of timeframes you think these things will play out on.

Didn’t even know it was happening. Maybe Israel will go to war with Saudi Arabia?

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No... Iran, to them, is a bigger priority for Saudi Arabia to fuck over, so I can't hope for that...

[–] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But didnt Iran and the Saudis make a peace overseen by China or am I missing something???

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess.. but do I remember this recently...

However, during the 2024 Iranian strikes in Israel, Saudi Arabia assisted Israel along with Jordan with the defence of Israel and their own territories.

Then again, this won't stop them from having truce with Iran officially....

Assisting in defense is not the same as attacking. I’d wait until Israeli troops try to escalate and see where this ends

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but it does seem they're wishy washy...
