Again woooooooosh!
US wealth is fundamentally dependent upon its power projection and resource hegemony.
The Petrodollar' and the monetary hegemony derived from it via SWIFT and the sanctions SWIFT imposes or threatens to impose.
Yes China is building its challenge to US military backed global resource and monetry hegemony- they know how the western imperialists work since The Opium Wars...but China has not been invading and assassinating dozens of countries and sanctioning others via SWIFT- that is the USA- own it.
USA imposes its will upon all the world in order to advance its wealth and privilege.
If you reject its global resource hegemony it seeks to bomb you to rubble.
No other nation exhibits such global bullying and hypocrisy.
If you reject its global resource hegemony it seeks to bomb you to rubble.
Who's going to stop us? New Zealand?
China is building the Saudis a $5 billion Wing Long 3 drone factory because USA failed to fulfill its Amram missiles contract with Saudis.
Watch this video to understand why USA is losing to China-
You lost the trade war and now you are losing in military terms.
It is the end of the US Empire.
The USA can no longer guarantee the security of the Gulf States.
The end of the petrodollar is nigh.
USA and Israelis have run out of interceptors.
Iran just struck the Israelis main military airport base.
Five pillars of American dominance broke in a single conflict. Here's the data.
Notes-
- MILITARY — SM-6 interceptors cost $4.9 million. Iranian drones cost $7,000. Ratio: 750 to 1. Destroyers carry 96 missiles, can't reload at sea. Production: 125 SM-6 per year. Consumption: hundreds per month.
ALLIES — Saudi Arabia committed $3.2B to South Korea, $5B to China.
- AMRAAM delivery delayed 10 months. Russia-UAE trade: $12.1 billion. 4,000 Russian companies in Dubai.
- ENERGY — 20% of global LNG blocked. European gas: $1,000. EU industrial output down 5–7%. 30% of world fertilizer stuck behind the same chokepoint. Food crisis incoming.
- SANCTIONS — India surged Russian imports 50% to 1.5M bpd. Waivers issued. Settlements in rupees and dirhams. Dollar share of global reserves: down from 72% to 58%.CHINA — 370 ships vs 296.
Building 7 destroyers/year. 65% of Iranian drone electronics are Chinese. Salt Typhoon collecting Aegis radar data. Training neural networks for Taiwan.
So 14 more destroyers. Good luck. I don't think that or the rupee is going to make a difference.
Ummm, again, the U.S. is not a land of free-market capitalism. Capitalism 100%, but free market no; it's a mixed market economy. We have antitrust laws, wage and environment laws, and government subsidies. No one is a pure free market anymore if there ever was.
Pretty sure we are not bombing China, India, Russia, the EU, etc.. Say what you want, but at least be correct. Also, don't act like the US is the only country pursuing its global goals. China and Russia are both clearly, and the Middle East is a whole slew of countries pushing for regional leadership before they move on to global interests as well.
