THE TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE PETRODOLLAR
Abstract
This article is a summary of recent happening in the Middle East concerning Iran, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Libya, Yemen and their connection, international relations, politics and economics. It gives a glimpse into the world of the tensions in the Middle East. The article is about international political dysfunction, financial interest and the debt that destroys the global economy and the financial system. This article tries to highlight why it came to the present status and gives a review of the past situations that led to the tensions in the Middle East and the challenges today. Terrorism is acceptable, as long as it is in the hands of western intelligence agencies and their contractors. Like the threat to use Executive order law and force against Middle East, protecting the global order that suits western interests is just a new attempt to maintain position in the Middle East. The stakes are too high for the petrodollar to do otherwise. Presence of petroleum throughout the region has sparked great power involvement.
