So the hens got together and all gave great speeches about how the dollar will reign supreme . And the nerve of them to call Lula an autocrat. The man was catapulted back by the popular vote. These Congress types are a bunch of arrogant bastards. So it is safe to assume a three letter agency is plotting to take him down. And just a year passes by, and their ally in the Middle East , Saudi Arabia , ditched the longstanding petrodollar agreement to freely negotiate with China. So much for grandstanding.

And Afghanis are welcoming Chinese investment , mostly from private investors. Desolate places that look like piles of rock and sand, just about two years ago, as of now look like sprawling mini enclaves with buildings and road. I remember an Al Jhazeera documentary about a Chinese businessman saying , ….”here we will have housing , there factories and obverse there a school building. “. This right after the stationed American forces lift off from the country. One would think that man was on drugs. But then , low and behold , two years passed by, and the city he envisioned is up and running. The interesting hidden fact is …. When the Congress approved for weapons so Afghanis could fight the USSR , the US Government tied the aid to sending US survey team to Afghanistan. They found plenty under those piles of rocks. Hence the “ fight the Taliban and hunt for Osama “. They did a great favor to the Chinese who realized the country’s underground riches. Like a scorned lover who turns to the next man available , the Afghanis turned to the Chinese.

@TuhunluunBionoid Chinese fishermen trawlers poaching territorial waters is nothing new. It happens everywhere in the globe. If there is one thing American fishermen never did was go poach fishing grounds. Actually, US New England fishermen have been caught by the Canadian Coast Guard ships poaching the Canadian Side of George’s Bank which lead to catch confiscation. And I am not sure on what goes on the pacific.

@tonytaylor4545 North Korea x South Korea. Reunification where North Korea leadership loses its hegemony. Which is exactly what happened in the German unification. No bloody battles . Folks from East Germany were eager to join West Germany. Taiwan would end up being controlled by China. They are the big dog around the corner. The malcontent might just leave. The smarter ones already figured it out and left. Brazil has had no US military base in the country ever. And they do just fine. Lost a couple pieces of land in litigation, Petrobras lost gas facilities in Bolivia under Evo Morales , and yet no war took place. And Brazil is a regional power in LATAM. See, American military dominance was an agreement under duress from Bretton Woods. Guns for butter. The US bribed the surrendering participants with free trade, grants and loans ( Marshall Plan ) , and the assembled defeated nations gave the US free reign on policing the world. That supremacy through a grandfathered agreement is being put into test every time the US Government desestabilize other regimes , and impose trade sanctions. Brazil still trades with Iran and Russia. In fact it did so through right wing pro USA administrations. Germany and France maintained side deals with Iran well past the fall of Rheza Pahlavi in areas such as telecommunications and auto manufacturing. The Italians had a transfer of technology deal between Fiat and GAZ auto plants in Russia. Despite what the US claims “:autocratic regimes “ national economies across the globe want to trade without any interference from the US. Free regulated trade brings in prosperity to its participants. You have a lot of wishful thinking son. Disruption is coming.
