Well I'll give a glimpse of the thrust of mine is in this thread through my mentors which is with the notion of ideological entitlement. Our country has been the thrust of financial sanctioning to sovereign nations for a good long time. It's been described as our "free lunch", and "weaponization of the dollar". As the astute economist Michael Hudson and other progressive economists have pointed out that the world currency of the dollar has allowed for and perpetuates a means for the United States to run its now enormous trade deficit. Simply by issuing bonds and bills for IOU's in goods exported to our shores.
Which also has helped pay for our overblown military complex and seeding the world with military bases all over the world. Why would we do such expenditure? Based on the wars we have committed to with boots on the ground and by proxy it points towards a means of sustaining our financial imperialism. Our foreign policy has been likened to the tactics of the Mafia. Do what we want or we'll invade you, bomb you, topple your government subversively and replace your duly elected officials with a dictatorship. Someone more malleable to our thinking.
It's taken decades and the buildup of one country, China, to put cracks in the fortress of our hegemony of world financial domination. But China now is THE largest economy and it has formed with other countries a hedge against our mighty weaponized dollar. Our sanctioning and threatening and absconding by freezing accounts and taking gold from sovereign nations that used our banking as a depository have wised up.
And the one ace in the deck we thought we could use to keep countries in line with was the SWIFT banking clearing portal for trade balancing. We could deny countries from using it. China and the other BRICS countries have developed a superior method for this that bypasses our weaponized dollar dominance. CIPS, (Cross-boarded Interbank Payment System).
And this is what is spurring our country's mad desire to try and subvert.
Looking at the fees is telling for what our banking free lunch is all about. This new system is all around superior to the SWIFT system is and far less expensive to use. This is our crusade against China, Russia and the rest of the BRICS systems amounts to. Finance capitalism's desperate attempt to maintain its hold on the world.
We have only diminished ourselves more by all this. We are de-industrialized, in debt to our eyeballs and throwing out aggression to the world with our latest insult, the trade war with everyone.
The Empire is a hoax. As is the belief that one country in eastern Europe and it's leader is the main provocateur of conflict. What is implied as obvious to the public, but is the cover for the plausible deniability used all the time by the empire for its devious doings under the radar of truth.
