Thanks for reading. In the forex room full of blind guys, the one-eyed guy looks like a genius and becomes a reserve currency. The $ is that one-eyed guy. Ask the Chinese, Saudi, Japanese and EU finance ministry guys buying US treasuries why the $'s % of foreign reserves is now higher than it was 60 years ago.

Of course, the de-$-ization fantasists positively never, ever back up their dreams with their own money showing screenshots of their $ short positions.

None of the above isn't on the empire menu. Power vacuums get filled.

Russia is the Nokia and China the Blackberry of empire. The US is the iPhone networked alliances version of empire.

If you say "the Ukraine" instead of "Ukraine" you accept Russian disinformation that Ukraine isn't a separate nation.
