    Good for them for breaking North American hegemony.

      The only thing they’ve broken is their own economic growth. Alarms are going off in China particularly. Hard to make a recovery plan when government also controls the industry. Their last round of stimulus did absolutely nothing.

        Not to mention, the other half is that they wouldn’t even be discussing this if Russia wasn’t being slowly economically strangled due to sanctions. And Russia wouldn’t be getting sanctioned if the hadn’t fucking invaded Ukraine proper in 2022.

        Without the dollar, no economic growth

        Sounds like a monopoly to me.

        I don‘t support monopolies.

          Feel free to give me any of the dollars or dollar-backed currencies in your possession since you don’t support them. I’ll be happy to take them off your hands. I won’t even ask for a chicken or goat in trade.

              You either support what you consider to be a monopoly, the U.S. dollar, or you don’t.

              If you don’t, you should clear your conscience by getting rid of it all. I’m just trying to help. You don’t want to be hypocritical, do you?

          Well you’re not going to replace it with a less trusted method. Ask any company that ran into China in the 90s whether they would do it again. I guarantee their version of this will be more restrictive and offer 0 protections for the businesses that use it. They all know the Chinese government just seizes whatever they want whenever they want it.

        I always say that Russia is committing war crimes so your point sir ?

        I am just criticizing how international law is selective.

        Sue me, right?

          They already blocked you to keep their echo chamber pure.
          Cause if you can’t see people that disagree with you they don’t exist and you can be surprised and angry when things just don’t go your way.
