00:00What happens is that the nations of the Arabia of Iran are now are forced to pay a ransom to
00:06Iran
00:08because they supply the world with their oil for the Shreve-Hammuz.
00:1320% of the world's oil flows for the Shreve-Hammuz, but in return they get food.
00:18So the GCC nations import anywhere from 80% to 90% of their food from overseas.
00:25And so basically the center of gravity shifts from the petrodollar to whatever financial system that Iran wants to focus
00:35on.
00:35And it could be brakes, it could be gold, it could be anything.
00:38But remember, the problem with that is that the U.S. economy is a Ponzi scheme.
00:43This depended on the GCC investing in AI, in tech stocks, in startups like Uber in order to finance the
00:54U.S. economy.
00:55If this financing stopped, then the U.S. economy could face collapse.
01:03And this means that these young men could not afford their own defense anymore, and this could lead to a
01:09revolution in the streets.
01:10So the consequences for America would be dire if America were to retreat from the Middle East.
