Bloomberg: Suddenly Everyone Is Hunting for Alternatives to the US Dollar
King Dollar is facing a revolt.
Tired of a too-strong and newly weaponized greenback, some of the world’s biggest economies are exploring ways to circumvent the US currency.

That's what they do, they weaponize, both at home and abroad, whether it's the dollar, or federal law enforcement agencies, or the media, or elections. Either toe the line, or get canceled.
ReplyDeleteWell you stay on top by making correct decisions, not pushing woke agendas
ReplyDeleteYou stay on top by being trustworthy. Countries can no longer trust that their money won’t be stolen if their reserves are largely in dollars and they fall afoul of US foreign policy agendas.
