China Preparing for War

[mervyn]

Im not mad at the Indians and others cutting out the swap penalties. But it’s the market strength of the US dollar that the beef is with. The reason why reserves are kept is because reserves US dollars gives you access to the US market. The Chinese and Indians and Russians do not understand that the strength of the dollar is not a mythology, the strength is in the quality and quantity of goods and services you can buy with the US dollar.

Russians are the first to find out they can’t buy shit using dollars under sanctions, China are not that far behind. Dollar strength is a commonly accepted myth, could be euro or any means of exchange.

Well if dollar strength is a myth then the Chinese and Russians are good to go.

I guess they are leaving, hope the Chinese won’t dump the treasury in a hurry.

Remember the days when a Big Mac was $3.99? Now it is $12.99.

In my area Big Macs are 3.99 to 4.49.Often they have the 2 for 6 deal where you get 2 for 6.00.
