I gotta say when you look back to 2021, Biden's team- really, Blinken, Sullivan et al- really fumbled the ball when it came to China. All they had to do was at least go back to the era pre Trump and they would've had a softer landing compared to the brick wall that's coming for them.
Writing was on the wall when in 2021 the US propaganda machine ran this piece:

He has filled his administration with capable, decent men and women who have ascended together through the ranks of the foreign policy establishment and generally share its assumptions. They’re the best of what Mr. Rhodes famously called “the Blob,” the bipartisan, Washington-based, foreign policy elite that believes maintaining the United States’ global dominance is essential to ensuring American safety and international peace.
"When Mexico America sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. "

Heard a crazy conspiracy theory just now:
Suppose EU and China want to suddenly ditch the dollar and switch to trading with their own currencies ala Brazil, in a "En tu, Brute?" moment.
Who will need to visit Beijing and talk to Xi to make this happen?
  • Scholz (he's already been)
  • Macron (on the way)
  • von der Leyen (on the way)
  • Pedro Sánchez (on the way)
  • Giorgia Meloni (on the way in May)
  • Charles Michel
  • Josep Borrell
Anyone else? Baerbock isn't really required but would be useful if you want to conduct this grand conspiracy.
Seems unlikely but crazier things have happened in history.

Are you going to ditch $US assets, since the $US will devalue by 20-30% soon?

This is not a conspiracy theory.

This is happening, but the wrong people are mentioned here.

Asia wants to create a currency block, and this currency block will have the Yuan as the anchor to it.

Since the Yuan is still pegged to the dollar, that in practice could make the Yuan a co-reserve currency of the world, without the benefits and drawbacks of actually being the reserve currency.

Asian currency block ---> Yuan ---> dollar peg.

So? So what?

The so what is that the unanswered question.

What is the value of the US dollar?

It depends on the Yuan peg.

Will that change?

Possibly. Never say never. Currency values tend to change over time.

Does that mean the Yuan peg (backed by Chinese economy and backed by the Asian block that is forming) is that a hammer over the value of the US dollar?

We are going to freaking find out!

Stay tuned. Come back tomorrow.

Same bat time. Same bat channel.

:D




Very briefly, that is what is going on, IMHO.

Ursula and the crazy German Green wanna double suck Xi for Ukranians
Quite dirty but what can those two offer other then vile threats and most likely being the US spy of choice, even though they are quite frankly very poor choices given that well, they are quite stupid and well, not going to contribute very much other then deliver really stupid lectures and for some silly reason given the money loses the German businesses suffered, why didn’t they not sideline them already given the fact that they are walking liabilities

It would make sense if it weren't for the fact that EU and US economics is like a siamese twin and Europe is not in the position to detach itself without dying. Thats why you have the saying "If the US economy sneezes, Europe gets the flu".

If the EU was to die and the Euro/dollar system collapses it makes sense those individual leaders are trying to secure their own life lines for their nations by begging Xi dada to be there for them in their moment of need.
