    China's not ready. When it is, it won't be some half-ass plan like Putin's. If China isn't preempted, when it moves, everyone will be toast.

    This sudden, latest covid outbreak came at quite the opportune time for China, did it not? Just in time to lock the country down and bow out of World affairs. Could be a coincidence

    I suspect that Russia and China have cooked up a plan to gain dominance over USA.
    Putin fails to see that China will stab Russia in the back to come out far ahead.
    Watch as the next two years unfold.
    China seeks to make its currency replace that of USA.
    They damn sure will not let Russia's currency gain any sort of worldwide dominance.
    In my opinion, Putin/Russia is now foolishly playing the same type of role as did Stalin to Hitler.

    From The Hill

    The hegemony of the U.S. dollar was reliant on America’s hegemonic status in the world. With the world moving toward multipolarity and with the U.S. no longer the world’s largest trading nation (it is China) the power and status of the dollar could be waning as well. Given the increasing role played by China, the European Union and other countries of the global south, the dollar might just be witnessing its descent.

    It is a matter of when the U.S. dollar loses its dominance among global currencies — not will. The economic sanctions following the Russian invasion could have just accelerated that downfall.

    The majority of the world is not going to use a non-floating currency for reserve purposes.

    And a general non-understanding of why you so want to believe that a pissant country is going to lead the world to against the US dollar as a reserve currency when they can't even make it past Ukraine.

    Well, I have a brain as well. And common sense. And I've posted several sources that are saying the dollar is shaky.

    And I have a general non-understanding why you can't even entertain the thought that China, Russia and India are working to devalue the dollar. They're finally waking up to the fact that the dollar allows the U.S. to be the power broker in the world.

    And even your source says it won't be easy but didn't say it can't happen.

    The WEF is also working to devalue the dollar, putting the U.S. in a position to depend on global digital currency using blockchain technology.

    I question your sources. And the BRIC economies would very much like to trade in non-dollar currencies but have been unsuccessful for years and will continue to be unsuccessful for many more years because none of them have the advantages of the US Dollar.

    And I question yours. Too much MSM with many lies to believe a lot of it.

    And if you're not up-to-date on WEF then you have your head in the sand.
