There is something very important happening right now.
For 50 years, the United States has given security assurances to the Arab OPEC nations, and in exchange, they’ve almost exclusively sold oil in the U.S. dollar—this is the “petrodollar” that you’ve heard about.
This arrangement is also, in large part, one of the many reasons Trump is currently destroying the Iranian regime: the Arab OPEC nations were getting concerned with the Iranian regime’s arms buildup.
In May 2025, Trump made his now-famous trip to the Middle East and secured some $2 trillion in deals and investment commitments. One month later, in June 2025, Trump sent B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to blow up three Iranian nuclear sites. These events are not unrelated.
The situation with Iran is incredibly complex, but one undeniable component is that there is an ongoing quid pro quo with the Arab OPEC nations.
Have you ever wondered why all of the Arab OPEC nations have allowed the United States to conduct military operations against Iran from inside their territory? It’s because they all want to see the Iranian regime get decimated.
Now, at the same time, the Trump Administration has made very clear that it wants the United States to conduct a long-term withdrawal from the Middle East, handing off day-to-day operational control to our regional allies.
In fact, if you don’t believe me, I’d suggest you read the 33-page 2025 National Security Strategy and the 34-page Department of War National Defense Strategy. Both were released by the Trump Administration in the last 12 months.
However, in order to conduct this Middle Eastern withdrawal, two massive goals must be accomplished: 1) the Iranian regime’s capacity to project power must be destroyed, and 2) the United States’ reliance on the Arab OPEC nations’ adherence to the U.S. dollar must be lessened.
And this is why Trump’s play in Venezuela is so monumental. If Trump can unleash American energy production while simultaneously unlocking Venezuela’s oil reserves, OPEC loses almost all of its strategic value, and the United States is one massive step closer to untethering from the Middle East.
What we are witnessing right now is the Trump Administration's multi-step plan to escape the sandbox and, ultimately, put an end to the Global War on Terror era of American foreign policy.
It's ironic, because it's become increasingly popular to call Trump a "neo-con" who's looking to kick-start another War on Terror, but in reality, quite literally the exact opposite is true.
