One of the most humiliating things will be the end of the Petrodollar. MBS backing Putin right now, and Saudi Arabia, Russia and China about to trade oil for Yuan.
I hope everyone has bought enough Yuan, because you can wipe your *ss with $ (and Euros) by the end of this year.
Hood Riddance to the Petrodollar and Reserve Currency I am tired of them wanting to raise the Debt Ceiling and watching the Debt Clock At 30 Million and rising rapidly, I am going to throw a party to Celebrate, we do NOT want Exorbitant Privilege or any other Privilege, this will mean the USA has to create more manufacturing jobs and Export More goods instead of sending so many jobs overseas, lots of more solid good jobs In the USA. Then the Politicians need to stop raising Taxes, And things in the USA will be like before we got that The Reserve Currency in the Mid 1940's and the Petrodollar we got in the 1970's our Government abused these 2 things when they seized assets from other Countries, now they say that is Ok because the Money you put in the Bank does not really belong to you They are committing Debt.
Note- Glad you brought this up, This is THEE BIGGEST STORY, but for whatever reason it is getting almost No Media Coverage, President Xi will be going to Saudi Arabia in Early May right after Ramadan ends and hopefully He will get Saudi Arabia To Switch from The USD To The Chinese Yuan, India, Brazil and other countries totaling over Half the World's Population, This will be a Great Day For the USA like The Miracle on Ice in 1980 Hockey Team that beat Russia in the Semifinals, then Finland in the Gold Medal Game or maybe even when we Won WW2 and had Ticker Tape Parades, Then The USD will Lose Hegemony, Inflation may go up for a couple of Months but we will be Thriving Economically by Mid 2023. And Almost Everyone in the USA will be Happy as they will be able to keep Most of our Taxes like before we got these 2 Terrible things that let The Government get Lazy and Irresponsible by just being able to Print Money getting us further into Debt. I will be SO HAPPY.
You forgot the part where we're $30 trillion in debt without absolutely no way to pay it off. The country defaults and goes right down the toilet.
The guy is a kook and his “analysis” is about as accurate as his prediction in July 2001 that terrorism was no threat and we don’t have to worry.
He also said that the US had a tougher time invading Iraq in 2003. That was a complete and total romp.
I think on this one occasion, we can all agree that this guy (in the link) is way, way off base. From what I gather is that Ukraine knew they were coming for quite some time and set traps as best they could.
Russians largely only see the Russian spin of the facts on their state media. Just like CNN and MSNBC viewers don't see negative stories about Democrats and Fox viewers don't see negative stories about Republicans.
While there are certainly biases in western media, some pretty extreme, it's absurd to equate them with the state media under authoritarian regimes.
1) U.S. public played along and acted as if CNN reported all the fact, Gulf War. If a person watched CNN, one would not have known far more bombs were dropped from B-52s than smart bombs from airforce and Navy planes.
2) U.S. public played along and acted as if CNN reported all the facts leading up to Iraq Conflict. Made up stories about Saddam Hussein and nuclear program. Everyone knew it was a lie.
3) We can't prove the lies CNN are stating at this time. No doubt they are lying.
U.S. media was far more honest during Viet Nam Conflict. No longer.
There are no "good guys". Every atrocity the Soviet Union committed the Ukrainians were right there with them in the same uniform.
Every atrocity the Russians are doing in Ukraine today the Ukrainians were doing to to the Russian separatists from 2014 until today.
Both sides commit war crimes because it's who they are.
I've been on LRC for a long time now and it seems that there always is a paid Russian poster on here.
Actually, a pretty insane way to see life, when you believe, that someone with a different opinion has to be paid. Who pays you then, pentagon? Biden? Trump?
On the topic, The Adult is absolutely right, Ukrainians are absolute savages from a failed state. There are literally right wing fighters who are interested in this war only because it is fun, according to them. It's like a hardcore version of "proud boys", but a lot more brutal and in bigger numbers.
I guess those Russians should have stayed home rather than invading a sovereign nation if they didn't want to get shot. The only sad aspects are that it wasn't Putin and that they didn't get shot in the head.
Deserting the army is 14 years jail time in Russia. They also have propaganda, just like CNN and NBC, that tells them, how brave and patriotic it is to go abroad and fight for your country.
Also, I hope you have prepared and bought Yuan, since dollar is gonna be worthless beginning Mai / June. Russia, China and Saudis are not joking around, this is the end of the Western world as we know it.

Pretty bold prediction. Are you ready to bet 1000 worthless dollars that the ruble or the Yuan will appreciate more than 50% on the dollar by beginning of June? Did you already get rid of all of your dollars and bought rubles? now it seems to be the right moment to do that.

Too. Damn. Bad. Now they can go back to Russia and limp around telling everyone how patriotic and brave they were bombing civilians in Ukraine.
It's a guarantee, Carmine. It doesn't matter what my support or sources are. All that matters to you going forward is that I GUARANTEE that Russian Yakov Rezantsey will never been seen or heard from again. He got iced by the Ukrainians. Totally biffed. Canceled. Whoever his scumbag Russian god is, that god couldn't handle the situation. He is gone. Zapped. Eradicated. Eradicated like a sickness.
I know it hurts, carmine. But you need to buck up. Be strong for the other scumbags here who are also in mourning. Get it together, you weak sister.
Looks like someone is taking this ukraine-Russia war too seriously.
The Russian invasion and attack on Ukraine is very serious. I'm not sure it's even possible to take it "too seriously," unless you are some sociopathic, narcissistic scumbag.

What does that actually mean $30 trillion in debt? It seems kinda abstract. What actually is money in the 21st century?

It's bold, but it is happening. MBS is not picking up Bidens calls anymore and a meeting with Xi is set to happen right after Ramadan. Europe will cry about it a lot, but since it is vitally dependent on Russian gas, they will have to give in and buy it in Rubles.
The only way Yuan is not gonna appreciate more than 50% on the dollar by June is if Biden is gonna offer something incredibly good to MBS or gonna start a war against Saudis.
Either way, now is a good time to buy gold and silver, and I'm sure, Yuan.

Advocating more war crimes and getting upvotes on LR...
Executing 18 year old conscripts after torturing them on video is just good clean fun to the tough guys on Let's Run...

Lollys Master is now on record: the dollar will become worthless in the next 45 days.
