at this point I'm convinced that @gladstein knows more about the geopolitics of FX markets than just about anybody else in the world. read this. more than once.

The dollar system has some very real, very damaging externalities. Alex has done a fantastic job documenting them

If you don't understand petrodollars, you don't understand US foreign policy, monetary policy, or the last several wars we've fought. Great thread & article.

A good article by @gladstein covers the historical US/Saudi relationship well.
