Because the dollar being the reserve currency is a direct result of the US being the world hegemon. As the US is falling, and China is expanding trade but not asserting itself as the hegemon, the world is becoming multipolar.

The EU’s economic situation doesn’t allow it to become the new hegemon either, and their political fragmentation makes them unreliable anyway.

The concept of a reserve currency might be outdated because of that multipolar world. And if not, the EU is in no position to impose the euro, as China is way more stable and has much better economic relations with everyone, including both US economic allies and enemies.

There would be no contest if China tried to assert the RMB as a world reserve currency, but AFAIK they’re not interested in doing that.

Are you serious? We all know the US would shoot first and invent a reason to do so later. Some of the first casualties when they attacked Iran were schoolgirls ffs

Do you think US and Israeli bombs somehow don’t harm people who dislike their government? Bombing them was never about helping them. The US government is worse than Iran’s

China is the agressor because uuuuh fishing boats

You’re asking this as if any information we have about NK is anything but US and SK propaganda lol

Why are we blaming netanyahu specifically? If anything he’s part of the moderates in israel, the whole country is ravenous

Oh right mb, I thought this was more of a general statement haha

Do you mean in this specific instance or in general? Cuz my CTO left and we had to directly report to the COO who had 0 understanding of whatever development issues we encountered. It was a huge pain

Every single one of the radars Iran destroys is priceless, literally; the US could not purchase them if they wanted to thanks to the Chinese rare earths export ban, they can’t be manufactured anymore*

• It’s the leading theory, could also be that the US military industrial complex is finally breaking under its own weight

Bruh you’re not the “new Russia”, Russia is america Lite. Has been since the fall of the USSR. You’ve always been this. You killed millions of Iraqi while pretending to liberate them. Same in Vietnam, same in Korea.

This is what you’ve always been; hopefully when Trump is out of office you stay in reality and don’t fall back to the dream you believed prior to Trump.

Anything coming from SK about NK is extremely unreliable

That’s literally the whole point of sanctions, to make people suffer for opposing the US. This situation was purposefully created by the US

I think that’s generally true for queer people, so I’m in the same boat as you

Nope, they weren’t attacked and just let everything burn around them while providing services to the nazis

Money would be a problem but not the worst problem, all of manufacturing and materials come from China and the remaining single digit percent is in Europe, if the US pisses both they wont be able to manufacture war even if they haf all of the money

Those are not some remote future consequences, the downfall would be quite immediate

One down, two to go

what?

I’m guessing after 30h it turns from “food warmer” into “bacteria incubation chamber”
