Honestly , the US should not be allowed to have ultimate control over the monetary system .

It’s been abused on a daily basis over decades .

Used to control, coerce and manipulate counter parties into their realm.

Totally agree and when their economy is in deep shit, they drag everyone with them, just like 2008 and other crisis caused by them.

Hush you.....don't talk bad about the country with equity markets rallying.....it's like mentioning a no hitter in baseball! (I don't know what the cricket analogy would be )

Let's be fair though: Roman empire had its run. Mongols. Heck, even the tiny island of Britain had 100 years (poke ). The US is only going on 80 years at this point. Give the US a LITTLE more time before China fully takes over.

Remember when Bitcoin was going to take over the world as the "anti fiat" currency and displace the dollar?

Just wait till Trump really gets pissy and sends the UK a "bill" for the back payment on the lend lease act assets that he says you "owe" this country. He will demand access to the north sea oil fields or something as reparation.

*Teasing if course, but VC gets my humor....most of the time, anyway*

Yeah I get that. Significantly though, he maintains his view on what he said, “stands by it”.

He’d rather have a republican in than a Democrat. That gives Rubio ongoing influence and a job lol…

Personally, I would have much preferred Rubio got in, but he now works within the boundaries of what he’s got (Trump).

Trump is a bit of an enigma to me. I still struggle to believe what we see is the complete (basic) Trump.

If the US did not exert influence, most certainly the void would be snapped up by Russia, history tells us this.

China is more subtle.

While there are Super Powers ready to exert their influence, there will be conflict.
