Only USA can mint USD. Only China can mint Yuan.How are all other nations supposed to buy oil? They have to send stuff to USA, and China? No way!
>>61057389what's the US trade deficit nowadays?
>>61057504In USD, that USA can mint and settle in USD? Not much.

>>61059056Trump traded American hegemony to build himself a clitty palace in the white hut.
>>61059080Retard nigger, this is a problem decades in the making but solidified when Biden weaponized the dollar against Russia while being incapable of keeping peace
>>61059080I hate trumpstein, but it's absurd to think his financiers who run the country will let it fall to china without a fight. If one were to preserve the american empire, befriending russia and re-industrializing would be two of your first moves. Obviously the first one didn't work out, but I have no reason to believe that was intended
>>61059056What happened in the 90s?
>>61059056America bankrupted itself fighting desert and cave people and is completely reliant on China we couldn't even fight a 2 month war now against a real country nope we can blow up boats the Caribbean in order to keep the foreign threat boogeyman alive
Oh boy time for our 4th once in a generation financial crash this decade
>>61059382Adversity is a great way to build character.
>>61059299> If one were to preserve the american empire, befriending russiaWhy would befriending an economy smaller than Italy be the #1 step to 'preserve the american empire'? Ivanovsky, is that you?
>>61059748Go look at a map of eurasia. Stare at it for at least a minute
>>61059310End of the cold war
>>61059769>An economy equivalent to a random third world nation is somehow relevant to 'saving america' because it has a lot of (unused) landmassIsn't the arctic a better move then?
>>61059769>Wow that's an absolute shitload of land that has zero value because in the winter its a frozen hellscape and in the summer you're still hundreds of miles from any other settlement . I wonder who owns all of that.
>>61059748Russia has more nukes than the US and ICBM capabilities dumbass. They can literally destroy the whole world with them if they want to.They shot an empty ICBM to Ukraine and that literally shut them up and US and Russia is now negotiating without them.
>>61059861Uh, yeah, sure Ivan, and Ukraine will be taken in another 2 weeks.
>>61057389so the russians have been selling oil for rupees to India and have been accumulating huge rupee balances which they cannot in any way get out of the country and there really isn't that much to buy in India to ship back top Russiaso now they are trying to shift to yuan, thinking that perhaps it would be easier to get money out of China. well good luck with that one, it is much more likely that the russian oil industry is going away and China/Japan/Korea will buy up the bits that interest them in the Russian far east
