If Saudi Arabia starts liquidating USTs, the collapse of the petrodollar will come quickly. This may be the Black Swan.
State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

The Saudis confirm the attack on their pipeline came from Iraq. Which means that, from a Saudi perspective:

1. Hormuz – their export route to the North – is closed by a war with Iran that the US-Israel started
2. Their pipeline to the South was taken offline from Iraq, a country… https://t.co/JL7hEW9GkN

It gets worse David:

SNIP After more than a decade of war, the Houthis have achieved what a superpower-backed coalition spent ten years and tens of billions of dollars trying to prevent. They now sit astride the Bab al-Mandeb strait, one of the world’s critical maritime chokepoints, and they are once again raining missiles and drones on Saudi cities. And when Riyadh picked up the phone this week to ask Washington for help, the answer was no.
No looking good for US Treasuries. Asia feels abandoned by losing their last Carrier to replace the CV Lincoln and being stripped of patriot batteries and critical missiles.
It gets worse.
Ansar Allah (Houthis) have captured war materiel and advanced surveillance systems.
Some allies can/will dismiss the behaviour as something that will pass once Trump is out of office. The failure of our military systems however, and the drone vs. Patriot calculus, has exposed the paper tiger. I thi k thta will do as much < more damage to our treasuries as a marketable product.
When 9/11 happened, and the response was gearing up, a CIA analyst who tracked OBL to a cave complex recommended a nuclear strike to vaporize him and his entourage. He was dismissed. Instead, a ton of money and time was spent on research and testing of a thermobaric bomb which could be directed at cave entrances, etc.
So, if the Bush-Cheney Crime Family and their minions were reluctant even after the devastation and loss of life in NYC to employ nukes, I doubt they will use them in the defense of Araby. Of course, there is always to possibility Mordor-On-The-Potomac knows more than I do. And if they were to pop a nuke on the Houthis, a tramp steamer in Long Beach Harbor might just reintroduce Tsar Bomba. What say you, my friends?
Looking at Putin’s actions for the last few years I doubt something as blatant as the Tsar Bomba.
Would guarantee a nuke retaliation and Putin’s actions have always been to keep under the nuke threshold.
However, a few dozen drones from various unknown ships and semi trucks like CIA and Mosssad did to Russia’s nuke bombers… on our coastal oil refineries and such….
Good for the goose and far more deniable.
Kind of hard on you and I though when fuel becomes unavailable at any price.
