I feel like Israelis don't understand geopolitics as well as they think they do.

@cjd I am also not sure what "they" and "their" means since the THEM are the Masters of War. Being on the side of the Huns doesn't make them less Hun-less.
Bomb their children is referring to the girl's school.
Israelis bomb Iranian children -> End up with united Iran. Worse off than they started.

@cjd it's a very bad idea to hit civilians, it makes them mad. But USreal doesn't care about that, flattened means they can bring in their buddies to get unbelievably rich by "redevelopment". Except when it doesn't work, then they can just pay the Taliban and its ilk (and the US still is) to keep it ruined. Syria was a secular country and now they just cleaned up a literal Al Queda headchopper and put him on the red rug. Welcome to the New Afghanistan, to whatever is left after they divvy up the spoils....
> But USreal doesn't care about that
I would argue that this is bad strategy.
The US has gotten comfortable with bad strategy and going from one lost war to another because they're so rich that none of this really harms them. But this is also how all empires fall, they get used to performative war-fighting because there's no consequences for losing, and then they end up in a war which has GREAT consequence, and they don't know how to win.

@cjd oh it effects them, but once again the proles have watched their "normal" lives disappear for the profiteers of war because again, it's an addiction, power and money. US can always print more cash because when you are talking about fiat currency, debt isn't really real. No one is going to foreclose on the USA. It keeps coming back to Our Masters, who control everything and still want more. The WEF isn't joking about The Great Reset and 'you will have nothing" and neither is WHO or the UN. ALL of them are US interests. Well, US in the sense of Rockefeller et al. who truly want world hegemony, just like a combined game of Monopoly/Risk - what the foul Darth Zbigie called the GRAND CHESSBOARD PDF HERE https://dn790007.ca.archive.org/0/items/ZbigniewBrzezinskiTheGrandChessboard/Zbigniew%20Brzezinski%20-%20The%20Grand%20Chessboard.pdf
> US can always print more cash
That works until it doesn't. When the world stops accepting USD then printing more cash just causes more inflation, and America is no better off printing dollars than Brazil is printing Reel.

@cjd why do you think the US is attacking BRICS countries (another thing most people are ignorant of)? They are trying to break the USOIL$
Yeah, well known phenomenon.
But this exact conflict with Iran and the strait of Hormuz is a major problem for the petrodollar.
BRICS is going nowhere, it's unlikely that there will ever be another world reserve currency after the USD because 20th century was only possible due to centralized mass media, which is now dead.
But USD can still collapse even without it, and each country will just have their own mixture of reserves from different central banks + some gold.

I wonder if a hyper inflation reserve currency actually can be replaced with gold without all other currencys failing at the same time
> hyper inflation reserve currency
USD highly unlikely to actually *hyper* inflate. Because all historical hyperinflation is caused by sovereign debt owed in a different currency than what they print, interest rates go up and they print money to try to pay. Printing money under duress is where hyperinflation comes from.
Most likely, US will partially devalue the dollar and other countries will follow along because printing money is fun. For US it's relief, for other countries it's stimulus.
Actual gold standard is unlikely (sadly), more likely every central bank will just stop holding significant US debt and world will continue on as it always has.

Picrel explains why the gold standard sewed the seeds of its own demise, pretty decent read.
@Sherri_Ingrey @cjd @monkyyy I can't find anything wrong with that.
@AnungIkwe @cjd @monkyyy the latter used to have Washington's Blog which made sense of how much economics is propaganda GDP = WASTE https://www.oftwominds.com/blogsept14/GDP9-14.html

GDP is a nearly useless metric, yes.
Most "economics" is basically quackery meant to justify whatever the people in power already want.
