Son analyse, publi\u00e9e sur le site de la Pravda<\/em> en deux parties, les 15 mai<\/a> et 16 mai<\/a>, offre une conclusion tr\u00e8s pessimiste sur le sort du syst\u00e8me am\u00e9ricain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00ab Two months after the invasion, the Iraqi euro accounts were switched back to dollars, and it was announced that payments for Iraqi oil would be once again in US dollars only. Global dollar supremacy was once again restored. But the story does not end there. Wars often don’t work out as planned. Ironically, the invasion of Iraq with its thousands of tactical mistakes as recently admitted by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was meant to solidify and ensure the US ‘s post Cold-War global dominance. Paradoxically, despite all these military and political advances and the rapidly increasing grip of US military power in Eurasia, for a variety of economic and political reasons, a growing number of oil producers in the Middle East, South America, and Russia are talking about openly trading oil for euros instead of dollars, or trading oil in a basket of currencies. To do so would accelerate the US dollar’s fall, and boost the euro’s claim to become the world’s second reserve currency. If a nation’s economy is only as good as its currency, and the dollar continues to lose value, the US economy would be headed for a steep fall under these conditions.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Superior military forces of the US and other Western states may take but cannot hold Iraq’s (and Iran’s) oil. Far from staving off the downfall of the US dollar, their aggression and arrogance may instead compel OPEC to go euro en masse. Since 2001, member countries of the OPEC have sharply increased deposits in euro’s and placed less in dollars. US dollar-denominated deposits fell from 75 percent of total deposits in the third quarter of 2001 to 61.5 percent in the last quarter of 2004. During the same period, the share of euro-denominated deposits rose from 12 percent to 20 percent.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 22 mai 2006 \u00e0 10H07<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Encore un article, tr\u00e8s long et tr\u00e8s largement document\u00e9, sur l’histoire de l’installation de la domination du p\u00e9trodollar, sur sa position actuelle et sur son destin \u00e0 tr\u00e8s courte \u00e9ch\u00e9ance.
