What is going on with the USA?
« on: March 31, 2023, 07:25:56 AM »
Here's a quick view of a few things I am witnessing on a global front and how all of this could mean disaster for the USA and our status as having the world reserve currency. I will start with the matter of security (from warfare) and then discuss the threats to the US dollar as the world reserve currency.

Regarding actual ongoing wars:
  • USA is in a proxy war (through Ukraine) with Russia. This war is causing us to hemorrhage billions of US dollars in the form of military equipment and actual dollars.
  • USA is at war with China over Taiwan (more of a brutal cold war for now, but could involve open warfare soon). China is also aggressively cutting off the USA's ties with many foreign nations.
  • USA is in active war against Iran within Syria. US base in Syria is getting attacked by Iran and vice versa. Hard to say who started it, but it appears the USA might have shot first.
  • USA is heading into war with Mexico. Look to Lindsey Graham's statements about sending troops to raid Mexican Fentanyl Labs and the Mexican President's recent remarks against the USA's hypocrisy and stupidity.
Regarding the threat to the US dollar as the world reserve currency:

History recap - Following WW2 (via Breton Woods) the US dollar was pegged to gold. Nixon in 1971 severed the link of the US dollar to gold and then the dollar became backed by the trade of oil, as all purchases of Saudi oil was performed in US dollars. America in exchange for this right agreed to protect Saudi Arabia from its enemies. Additionally, this backing of the US dollar by oil has also led to most international financial transactions of present day being performed in dollar denominations. Today, the US dollar (our FIAT currency) is under threat of losing its status as the holy Petrodollar. Why? See below.
  • Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa formed an alliance to do trade amongst themselves and move away from the grasp of the USA (Known as the BRICS nations)
  • BRICS has now gotten further support from Mexico, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Iran and have essentially formed an ongoing coalition.
  • South America as a whole doesn't like the USA, so the world's landscape is surely appearing to be turning on the USA.
  • China's National Offshore Oil Corporation and France’s TotalEnergies have reportedly completed China’s first purchase of imported liquefied natural gas to be settled in Chinese yuan.
Moreover, I just read that Japan's foreign minister is going to visit China for the first time in three years. Those who were once enemies are now soon-to-be friends?

Is it just me or are we on the verge of witnessing the very collapse of the US empire? We have simultaneous threats of multiple world superpowers (China + Russia) waging nuclear war on us while other lesser countries (Iran and Mexico) in the periphery can certainly attack us as well. We also have VERY real threats to the US dollar suffering from a massive devaluation.

Anyone else seeing how things are playing out in a similar fashion to me? Maybe in my old age I am becoming too worried with these drastic winds of change, but it seems alarming. Also, when I listen to both Israeli and Aljazeera news, they are starting to paint the US in a very bad light. It's as if everyone is turning on us.

Might appear like a tin foil hat from your vantage point, but it rests easier on my face as reading glasses.

Nobody wants China's yuan, not even China.

That's not what recent world events would suggest. For France to buy 65,000 Tons Of LNG (natural gas) from China in the first ever Yuan-denominated trade is a massive deal. Actions speak louder than words and France is one of our oldest allies, why would they do such a thing? This type of activity would have never happened 20-30 years ago. Now, all of these countries have grown a pair and are not giving a fuck about our position as the world's top superpower. What gives?

US has always been involved in some kind of war or conflict.  It is our nature.

No one gives a fuck what Lindshe says.  Just a pathetic attention whore.

It's at the root of our imperialistic way. Unless we hold the biggest military and continue to expand across territories abroad (i.e. grow our international influence), we instead go backwards and start to lose our influence as foreign nations start to assume that we are becoming weak and decadent.

No one gives a fuck what Lindshe says.  Just a pathetic attention whore.

I concur that Lindsey Graham is an attention whore.

That's a function of being the global hegemon.

Canadians like to praise Canada for not doing this as much as the USA does, when in reality, we just lack the firepower to do so.

It's easy to be restrained when you have no other option.

I agree, OMR.  The US economy has been based on the petrodollar ever since Roosevelt met with Abdulaziz and it’s position as the worlds reserve currency is being actively threatened.

The inability of other posters to address your points directly is a clear sign that your original post is on the money.

It's fucking disgusting. Now we have Weekend at Bernie's III being filmed at the White House, while Americans have to sit back and watch our country crumble.

Biden's cabinet is too busy protecting trans people, fueling the climate change agenda and going after Trump versus giving a fuck about the American way. I miss the Reagan days.

I miss the days when we Americans behaved like Alec Baldwin from the Glengarry Glen Ross movie (honorable mention goes to the 2:50-2:56 mark)...

I think everyone here is smart enough and knowledgeable enough to address my original post, moreover what I believe is that most (even like myself) don't want this to be the inevitable end to the US empire. We are all here (in the USA) for good reason. This country rocks, even with all of its shortcomings, it's truly one of the last bastions for freedom of human expression and capitalism. Now, it seems like our country is morphing into something else. I don't think most want to even begin to flirt with the idea that it could somehow be true. I'd love to be wrong even in my observations, but it's hard to cover the sight of the sun with merely an index finger.

Democrats, all of 'em, are nothing but supporters of mutilating our children and pedophilia.  They are also supportive of genocide against white people because they are "white".  Anyone, including my relatives that is Democrat is, again, a supporter of pedophilia, the sexual, mental and moral mutilation of our children.  They support Communist China.  Everything that is good about America is in their eyes, wrong.

There are such creatures here on this forum and we all know them by their words of hatred for Conservatives,  Israel, Christianity and the truth that there are two genders.  And more.  So much more.  These Democrats need to be defeated at the Polls.

Democrats, are by their inclusion of such beings, supporters and lovers of pedophiles and all manner of depravity for they are without probity and this most recent attack on President Trump is an attack on all real Americans. 

The Democratic Party is the party of pedophiles and more.  One need only look at their ranks to see that is so.  Drag-queen story time, trannies displacing women in sport and in the record books.  And the mutilation of the innocent of America is their goal.  And divershitty supposedly for the sake of transgressions hundreds of years old and done to no living person by any other living person is yet another of their tools to gain entry into commerce, schools, law and the military.  Divershitty and not merit. Their hatred of white people is legend and that hate is bred and fed by caucasionals whose hatred of their own skin color is the mark of a cuckold.

Call them what they are.  Filthy, foul disgusting beings whose fetid desires embrace all that is against traditional values espoused by not only Judeo-Christian teachings but our Founding Fathers.  These deviants are after the innocent young.  They push for the mutilation of our children.    Physical, mental and spiritual.    They despise freedom save for themselves.   They were born of the if it feels good, screw it do it hippies of the '60s and '70s.    They are in evidence here and in the real world and are not deserving of friendship.  Would you allow a tiger to watch over your children?  No fucking way and yet these cuckolded cretins fill the ranks of not only schools but law enfarcement and the ranks of the SHILLITARY.

They cheated electronically in the 2020 election and will do so again by any means they can.  They must be defeated at the polls, foul craven cuckolds that they are.  Our lives are dependent upon winning back our Nation and protecting our children.  Never forget what they are pushing on us. The MUTILATION OF OUR CHILDREN and MORE!

Never forget what they do and never forgive them for not only doing such disgusting things but fully supporting them with their party.  Never.

To answer the OP's question:

The POTUS is beating off furiously to trans-kiddie porn as his mind descends into madness while his son goes down on filthy whores in between hits off the crack pipe.

The majority of US population doesn't understand a word of what you just posted but voted for it because Trump hurt their feelings.

MSM and big Tech are almost certainly involved to some degree of conspiring to keep it this way.

I tend to think the root of it is short sighted greed. Attempts to keep the 'haves' having more and the 'have nots' too dumb and misinformed to do anything about it.

Pretty soon we will be going to war with Oceana and people will put up signs in their front yards supporting the cause and anyone who questions it will be dragged off to room 101.

This is not the end of the traditional, patriotic way of life in America.

This is Americans believing a crooked and corrupt mainstream media and political complex that tells them they need and must rely on both to survive.

The Internet gives every moron alive a platform to espouse their stupidity and make it seem credible. You know better, I know better, we all know better...stop believing that the country is in dire straights because Joy Behar, Ilman Omar, and Chelsea Handler say so.

America will survive the ineptness of the current political climate, it survived 8 years of Obama, it can survive 4 more years of the same shit. As for future generations, who cares? Piss poor lazy parenting has created a culture of participation trophies, 140 character attention spans, and soft weak snowflakes who will be ruled by the Chinese.

Fuck 'em...they voted for this liberal bullshit, they teach it in schools, and they're too lazy and stupid to foresee the consequences. The pendulum will swing the other way and when it does, the only hope is that it puts these mentally ill fucks back into their place (without remorse) for the next 50 years.

Amazing how easy it is to sway the population with the right commercials, scripted MSM shows and the political theater displayed in congress.

100% agreed. Look to who owns one of the most propaganda-based networks (CNN).

BlackRock & Vanguard own Warner Bros. Discovery, who in turn owns CNN. Real money wants the "have nots" to shut the fuck up and stay in their lanes. Keep watching your reality TV and eating cyanide-laced donuts, while the adults manage the USA's economy and money supply.

Pretty soon we will be going to war with Oceana and people will put up signs in their front yards supporting the cause and anyone who questions it will be dragged off to room 101.

Amazing how that illusory truth effect works.

Not at all. These days I actually enjoy Psilocybin mushrooms, but they are really hard to get in New York City, so when I do travel to Florida and California I tend to share with friends.

Marijuana unfortunately causes deleterious effects to my short-term memory the day following its use. Moreover, it impairs my ability for quick word-recall. I can't use something that takes away from my cognitive function broseph.

USA power, influence and goodwill is being sold off by the piece. This whole thing is a slow motion salvage operation...or controlled demolition if you think it's happening quickly. Things are ramping up as the boomers are aging out, but I still think it takes decades for the standard of living to get to world parity/neo-serfdom.

The same thing happened to England, with the transfer of power completed at WWII. I expect something similar, although a monetary reset would be an equal if not greater impact. Of course they never had the standard of living the USA has enjoyed...we have a LONG way to fall and on the other end of that is people making $$$ selling us out.
