I have the impression that James wasn't too happy with Oliver's reply. I wonder why.
 
If the US its petrodollar gets fucked then they have a lot to lose.
Russia coupled its ruble to a gold standard and as from now oil/gas is being traded in rubles.
China, India, Belarus (and I think a few other countries too?) accepted this while EU countries are forced to do so. The US is now trying to isolate and sanction countries who trade in rubles and imo much of it depends how successful they will be in doing so.
Too bad there is a zero percent chance the petrodollar will get fucked eh

Russia has had to sell its oil at a 30-50% discount to India and China to get them to pay in rubles, this is unsustainable for obvious reasons

China gets about 30% of its oil from Russia, expect this to increase as Russia happily Jews itself for Beijing

Russia isn't even in the top 10 of countries India imports oil from, USA is 4th. India's much touted agreement to buy severely discounted Russian oil is expected to double Russia's share of the Indian market from about 2.5% to about 5%

Other than economically insignificant countries like Hungary, the EU has told Russia to fuck off on its pay in rubles demand. Russia has counteroffered that the EU can pay in euros and Russia will use a third party (China) to exchange them into rubles. AKA China gets a cut and Russia is forced once again to Jew itself to get anything. EU imports of Russian oil are going to crash after this year, this is the last year the EU will be dependent on Russian fossil fuels. The EU doesn't want to be reliant on them anymore, I wonder why

Needless to say, these numbers are not sufficient to make even a dent in the petrodollar's dominance
 
Both were being plagued by systematic issues before collapse that could no longer be ignored (uppity colonies, gruesome lack of consumer goods, etc.)

The US still looks pretty robust to me, Biden's fascinating economic policies and tranny ministers of healthcare notwithstanding.

The US is in deep, deep economic, political and demographic shit and has been (barely) papering over the cracks by money printers going brrr. That's cool, until it isn't.

There's no solution, no way to arrest the decline, the only question is how far, fast and furious its descent from global hegemon will be. Could be anything from a comfy subsidence into Brazil Norte to a full blown global Happening. I'd bet some bottle caps on the latter scenario, because the ruling class in the United States and its satellites is literally insane.

A reminder that this current campaign by globohomo to demonize and destroy Russia and all orthodoxy began decades ago.

The incident below happened in Kiev in August 2012, carried out by an Israeli-funded protest movement, FEMEN, which had the twin goals of imposing LGBTQ madness on Russia and taking down Putin and the Orthodox church.

You say that like it is a bad thing.

I feel the most significant consequence of this thrice-cursed conflict was Putin's bid to sabotage the petrodollar in retaliation to sanctions. The jury is still out there as to whether it is working, but Zelensky and Biden's handlers would be absolutely retarded not to expect this to happen.

But then again, EU leaders started squawking "but you can't do this, THIS WOULD BYPASS SANCTIONS" when Putin said he isn't going to pump gas for free, please put the roubles in the box to your left on the way out, thank you. Which also should have been obvious.

I don't anyone is saying the petrodollar is going to collapse overnight but it's the start of a trend, one that will completely fuck the US economy if it keeps going.

I think America's biggest problem is it has no social capital left, the majority of people are completely self-interested and don't care about each other, there's no community in most of the country and outside of upscale wealthy neighborhoods, there's a lot of visible decay, things just aren't taken care of here. It doesn't seem like a huge deal now but in the future when real crises happen, ones which require a country to come and work together to survive, it's really hard to see America uniting and overcoming something like it did in the Great Depression.
 
not fast enough for me.
i want china to stop all exports to usa
That would be amazing as Chink GDP would contract about 30% purely from the loss of the American market and another 20-30% from being unable to finance its real estate bubble and the Communist Party would drown in a deluge of bloody revolution

Meanwhile the US would be recovered from the resulting inflation -> recession within 5 years

I'm not seeing a downside here.
