The US is a failed state. We're going to have to learn to live without it sooner or later. The only reason it has so much influence is because we all made it the centre of the global economy. That's what needs to change.
I believe it's all coming down. Don't want it, not looking forward to it, but I think our society is definitely in decline.
Yippee ki yay motherfucker! 😉
Yeah. Sadly, we may not have a choice in the matter.
Yes, while cutting US ability to trade by 100%. Who's the most impacted then?
Uh, look at how quickly the EU began giving Russia the finger after decades of energy dependence. The US is mighty, but everybody and everything is replaceable in 2025
and it's all done so the richest in the US can swoop in and buy up the crumbs that are left of US households & the citizens become beholden to them...it's all a financial coup and it's going very well so far.
