Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

Yesterday I finally watched the movie Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. It has a typical Tom Clancy-ish plot in which CIA saves the world from a Russian oligarch who plans to get revenge against the US by destroying the US dollar.

That got me to thinking about something Kelly Mitchell wrote in his book Gold Wars:

There is a mechanism being put into place to destroy the US dollar in the next few years. It has many components, but the primary ones are an alternative oil sales system, a gold-backed trade platform, an international central bank outside of Western control, a framework for diminishing US influence, available natural resources, and a coalition of regional leader nations. Participants have reportedly agreed to prices of $7,500 minimum for gold and $150 for silver [per troy ounce].

Undoubtedly, both Russia and Saudi Arabia will be major players in the implementation of this planned mechanism to destroy the US dollar.

And what is now taking place in the real world? Saudi Arabia is driving down the price of oil, a move which some fear will destroy the major banks of the Western monetary system:

What if, and this in only speculation, what we are seeing is the beginning of the destruction process revealed by Mr. Mitchell? The plot of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit may not have been very realistic (can a single oligarch, no matter who is backing him, destroy the US dollar?), but a movement which can call upon the resources of OPEC (and the BRICS nations) to bring down the economies of the West is definitely a valid scenario.
