De-dollarization is the Archilles Heel of the USA

 While the Brits lost its Empire due to lack of financial resources to upkeep its administration in the colonies it occupied. The USA. learning from the Brits, believes that having bases in countries on top of its money printing privilege is the way to control the world. This is a belief based on the assumption that the US$ hegemony does not fall. The USA can always resort to its unilateral privilege of printing toilet papers to upkeep these bases and logistics today. Once the US$ hegemony ends, its empire will fall like a house of cards just like the British.

De-dollarization is the Archilles Heel of the USA. China and Russia are not using the military option to bring down the US hegemony unless pushed to the wall, like in Ukraine. Russia and China lack all the resources and the money printing privilege for a military confrontation against all the USA bases around the world. The former Soviet Union fell for the trap of trying to take on the USA in military spending and bankrupted itself. How could the Soviet Union do the impossible, knowing the USA had the money printing financial muscle to outspend it.

The formation of BRICS is for the purpose of bringing down the US$ hegemony through de-dollarization. Nothing more nothing less. BRICS is not a military bloc like NATO nor about Russia or China wanting to become the next superpower. It has a more important mission which is de-dollarization.

Trump is beginning to realize the consequences of de-dollarization picking up pace and already threatening countries from joining de-dollarization, which inevitably means joining the BRICS bandwagon. He wants to erect 100% tariffs against those countries joining de-dollarization. Trump is going to fast track the de-dollarization movement with this move if elected. What has the USA tried to do that did not end up shooting its own foot?

People always say, man proposes, and God disposes. There is nothing that man proposes that will last forever. Not Empires and not Dynasties.

Iran retaliated by bombing American bases in Syria. Why?

 The Israelis attacked Iranian military targets with aircraft and missiles. On Sunday night, Iran retaliated again, this time against American military bases in Syria. Why not hitting Israel but American bases? As usual, the Americans and Israelis presumed that the Iranians were stupid and did not know where the attacks came from and who were the attackers. The Israelis might have launched a few missiles over Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Iraq skies as a show of force,... that they did it. 

As for the attacks by aircraft, it was a tall order. The distance would mean limited bomb loads and also air to air refueling over Saudi Arabia, Jordan or Iraqi airspace. These Arab states had agreed not to let Israeli aircraft overflying their airspace or they would become targets of Iranian attacks. They would also be forced to fire at Israeli aircraft over their skies. Therefore, it was unlikely for the Israelis to fly their aircraft to attack Iran. Then where did the aircraft came from? Put 1 and 1 together, it was very highly likely that they were American aircraft in American bases in Syria and Iraq, maybe even in Saudi Arabia, and flown by American pilots in the attack. No one is wiser if they were not shot down and no American pilots were caught. The American had done it many times in many wars in the area. In the sky, no one knows whether they were Israeli or American aircraft and who were flying them.

The Americans thought the Iranians were fools, including the Russians. But both were watching the skies and could track and trace the source of the aircraft, where they came from and where they returned to. Such cheap tricks by the Americans and Israelis were workable in the 1960s or 70s, not in the 21st century when there were not only radars but satellites monitoring the sky. Once the Russians and the Iranians knew where the aircraft were from, the retaliation would come surely, at the real culprits.

Massive bombings and massive explosion were heard in several American bases in Syria. These were not fire crackers, but meant business. Would the stupid Americans be scratching their heads silly and asking how did the Iranians know? Or they knew too, no need to think too hard, but had to pretend not to know, and took it in their stride without raising ruckus with the Iranians.

Do not underestimate the Russians and the Iranians and their allies. They also have eyes in the sky.

American/West start on the presumption that Arabs and Muslims are stupid and hapless

 Anyone listening or reading the media, main media and social media, and if the speakers or presenters are Americans or westerners, they would come away with the impression that whatever came out of the presentation or broadcast, is always one sided, all the thinking and assumptions are one sided, in favour of the Americans and the West.

It is very clear that all the analysts, scholars, journalists, researchers and reporters start from the same premises...that the Arabs and Muslims, and the Global South, are daft, unthinking, unintelligent beans, unable to defend themselves, weak and hapless and waiting to be slaughtered or attacked by the Americans and the West at their own time and own choosing.

Look at the situation now facing Iran. All the talking is about how the Americans and the Israelis are planning and preparing to nuke or attack Iran, at targets of their own choosing. And Iran cannot do anything about it. The Iranians are either sleeping or unthinking or plain stupid, or did not have any weapons to defend themselves, did not how to defend themselves. So it is how the Americans and the Israelis are going to whip the Iranians freely and happily. It is a one way thing, like the Iranians are being tied onto a stake and waiting to be dealt with by the Americans and the Israelis?

Is this kind of thinking real, that one side is so intelligent, so clever, have all the brains and weapons, to whack the other side that is weak and hapless, unable to do a thing, not even know how to hide or run?

The Arabs and the Muslims also came from an ancient Civilisation that was known for having many wise men, intellectuals and once had their own empires that ruled the days. They are not inferior people or Civilisation. They were the most talented and the best at one time or another. They cannot be so stupid and hapless, and not be thinking of how to respond to an immediate existential threat.

Why can't the Iranians be planning to send 100,000 missiles into Israel, not only on military targets but all the big cities, including Tel Aviv, to flatten every city and destroy their population in a live or die war, either they be wiped out or they wipe out the Americans and the Israelis? Would anyone believe the Iranians are all sleeping, or waiting helplessly in despair, to be nuked or destroyed by their enemies? Or would it be that the Iranians have no friends and would be allowed to go up in smokes, alone with no allies coming to their aid? Remember what happened to Syria? Syria would have gone up in smokes if the Russians did not take the initiative to step into the war. If the Russians can do that to save the Syrians, very likely telling the Americans it would be war with the Americans if the Americans did not stop their aggression, the Russians could have already told the Americans of their intent to take on the Americans and the Israelis, to save Iran.

Are the Americans and the West and their so called scholars and thinkers still thinking that the Iranians are a gone case, to be devour freely at the mercy and pleasure of the Americans and the Israelis? The Americans and the Israelis may be thinking and planning, the Iranians, the Arabs and Muslims and their friends are also thinking and planning to do the same to the American and the Israelis. It is NOT a one sided affair. Stop thinking that the rest of the world, especially the Arabs and Muslims and the Global South are daft and dumb and hapless, too weak and unable to hit back.

Saudi Arabia are having joint military exercise with a common enemy. Saudi Arabia is no longer the puppet on a string, to be pulled and act against its Arab and Muslim neighbours by the Americans and the Israelis. The other Arab and Muslim states, used to be the puppets of the Americans and Israelis are going to break free, to join Iran and the rest of the Arab and Muslim states against their common enemies, the americans and the Israelis and the rest of Europe.

American Election - Blowing the Wall Street bubble for a bigger bang!

 We are witnessing the fall of an Empire - the denial, the threats, starting more conflicts to distract, more desperate moves that are backfiring without careful thinking, banks failing, economy in ICU and needing life support.

Forget about what you hear about Wall Street breaking records every day. It is all related to frenzy money printing entering the stock market. Forget about the economy being strong with retail sales all rosy, when it is just supported by higher prices when people are actually buying less. Forget about the job statistics which we now know is all fabricated. What is hidden is not what you get.

After November, if Trump wins, and tariffs on countries joining de-dollarization put in place, the USA will be on fire with inflation causing widespread chaos and people in desperation. They have to live with the Government they have chosen, or should I say the Government being chosen for them actually, to screw them blind. The USA election is a Hobson's choice, between choosing a rock and a hard place.

BRICS' rise attracting more detractors

 Those detractors of the de-dollarization movement are trying to downplay BRICS as an inconsequential bloc and will be unable to do anything to the US$ hegemony. They claimed that BRICS serves no purpose to further the ambition of Russia or China trying to become the next superpower. Is that the mission of creating BRICS to help Russia or China become the next superpower? I thought Russia and China wants a multi polar world instead.

They are also claiming that China is trying to impose its influence over BRICS using its financial clout that is making India unhappy. Is that the reason and if so, why is Russia such an influential entity instead when it comes to setting rules and regulations over the acceptance of new BRICS members?

As de-dollarization moves forward, more of such demonization will be fabricated in a Propaganda House set up in the West and disseminated to echo chambers like CNN, BBC, WION, Channel News America and Social Media sites like China.... this and that, which should be avoided as they spout misinformation and disinformation like the MSM.

Clicking on Social Media sites like those China...... is like clicking on a scamming site. Strange that such sites seem to be attracting much traffic, true or not, real or fabricated, is debatable. I guess stupidity has no cure is never out of date.
