I beg to differ, Jim.

Our government has been complicit.

I think many if not most people, even here, would be surprised out how they’ve also been teaming up militarily over the past couple of decades. We don’t hear hardly anything about in the snooze media.

They have been holding massive annual joint war games since 2005. They now have a second series of joint exercises.

I have a whole section on this on my FR Home page.

If interested, see “On the Russia-ChiCom front...” within the newly created table of contents.

mac_truck, you are one of KGB Putin’s biggest admirers on the site. You only rooted for Trump because you (wrongly) thought he woulds be soft on Russia. You must feel awful now seeing how Trump-Pence has undone practically all the dangerous (for us) deals the Obama-Biden-Hillary admin made with them.

No doubt, especially with the treasonous Clintoon Crime Family in the WH and later in State. No telling how much military tech info and stuff they sold or gave away to China (and Russia) for personal gain. And then Muslim-Communist Obama giving away the store and his Communist traitor John Brennan heading up the CIA, etc.

If they follow thru it will depress the dollar but not much. And it will backfire on them because it will make their goods more expensive in the us.

They will be manipulating their currencies in attempts to screw each other before the ink is dry.

“The most honest President for Life little Putin working with President for Life Winnie the pooh Xi “

At least we have the common decency to exchange the president from one globalist NWO type to another periodically. Besides Trump, from 1988 until today, they are no meaningful differences between any presidencies except for minor style points.

You need to learn about international trade.

This could be the start of the decline in the USD as the reserve currency—what would take its place? No idea.

You need to learn about red herrings, this could be the start of nothing.

It doesn't hurt the U.S. for Russia and China to trade in their respective currencies.

***This could be the start of the decline in the USD as the reserve currency***

Possible, but not very likely anytime soon. First, note that the publisher of the article is the Russian media... hmmm

Next, as you query: what would take its place? No idea. Right now the U.S. Dollar is the most stable currency on the globe. The Chinese yuan? They constantly devalue it in order to remain competitive. The Russian Ruble? Russia is a power-controlled oligarchy. Britain is proving incapable of rescuing the pound. The EU is determined to prove that socialism can be profitable - and doing a poor job of it.

The U.S. is carrying a somewhat heavy - and dangerous - debt load (with such low interest rates why doesn't the USGVT finance the debt as 'long term' instead of 'short term'?); however, Germany is trying to pay down its debt and it isn't working out as well as they hoped.

If Americans would kick the legion of carpetbaggers out of Congress and return our financial footing to a more stable base, I think under the current leadership we could be in the catbird seat for quite some time.

I left out the Yen... but, then, what could I say about the Yen that hasn't already been said ad nauseum?

“” “” You need to learn about international trade.

The abuse of USD as a tool of foreign policy by US lawmakers would bring USD down earlier than later.
The grotesque sanction regimes targeting not only the entities they don’t like but also their innocent trading partners aren’t helping much.
There is a growing demand for trade instruments which aren’t in US jurisdiction and since there is demand there would be offer.
