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.

@cjd that's why some EU countries see the writing on the wall and are taking back their gold reserves. China knew about this decades ago. I can't believe "leaders" were stupid enough to send it to the US for storage to start with! The country with $778B and counting MISSING from the Pentagon alone!
Yea France. Always keep an eye on France, they're exceedingly good at seeing the writing on the wall...
They're also currently working on getting rid of Microsoft Windows from government computers.

Which means that Microsoft is too entrenched, so entrenched it hurts. Germany tried it, failed. Microsoft not only survived the Chinese pirating its OS - it made them into a Supervillain. Getting rid of Microsoft is much easier said than done.
1. Past efforts have failed because Microsoft agreed to open an office and hire thousands of workers.
2. Germany fails at everything, they're really not very impressive

@cjd @FourOh-LLC Germany the "woke brothel of the EU"? The one that combines a prostitute with a toilet? That Germany? I have a very smart online friend that lives there and says the country is just SO screwed.
Everything Germany does is the Brandenburg airport, over and over and over again.
@cjd @FourOh-LLC I had to look up Brandenburg Airport to get what you meant. wow that's a LOT of money.
Yup, Germans always come better prepared than anyone else, but then they overthink everything to death and it all ends in disaster.
By contrast, the French are FAR better at large scale infrastructure projects than they are.

@cjd that's interesting about Microsoft. The world would certainly be better without BILLIAN Gates. But the new Masters are the technotranshuman types. They are very scary since the masses have tied their asses to tech.
Very few people I actually hate, but that guy is one of them.
Genetically engineered super-mosquitos, WTF.
Someone should shoot down his jet.

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.

A house and a stock is a debt in green paper, the infinite scp 500 is a promise of american labor materializing for the services of door dashes app dev team, a bank denying you a loan and boomers working 50 years ago.
They dont even allow me to work in tech so what possible trade of labor hours for a million dollar house can I make?
Petro dollar is a crude approximation of the real theory; enforcing a population to use the currency thru taxes and secpicle; more important then picking one side in the muslim cold war is that america *was once* one of the few high trust society with allot of factories, with a very high tax complacence rate and "investment plan"(you will funnel your money into some building in newyork for a 1% discount on taxes for 30 years of delay); that used these factories to make arms deals.
Labor, retirement plan, structured payments for housing; -complacence are all collapsing. It seems to me the stock market is a "foreign" "currency" that is owed quite a bit of quite overpriced doctor labor.
So long as the boomers pick the stock market and housing market over the young once again; it will be infinity dollars chasing finite houses and stocks.

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.
