For us. The thing more important than the oil is the currency that oil is traded in. The very thing Trump is risking blowing up on behalf of his masters in Israel. Aka the limitless petro dollar credit card that allows for all of this insanity

I don't expect you to accept it, but here's the salient point you're missing. The US dollar is already dead money walking. It's a note against the US Treasury and the US Federal Reserve, and both are effectively bankrupt. Barring some massive advance in energy technology, they can't honor their paper in real terms. All they can do is dilute it into oblivion at an exponentially increasing rate. We're on the steep part of that curve.
