Before the British dominance was Romans and before the Romans was the Hellen, and the Persians and so on. World domination is not forever. They were not first and won’t be last. They are no longer the richest and the most powerful. So, they should calmly remove themselves from the scene True. Power is transient. But they are the most ECONOMICAL influential NOW. Debating that would be laughable. Economic influence = power nowadays. Power isn't just brute force as it was in those days. There's no such thing as Richest with countries. Economic influence supersedes what you call rich. The vast majority of Equipment that allowed the Saudis exploit their resources ARE Western developed. Now that's influence. |

Its not so anymore. Gold is the world currency. America has more dollar in circulation than she has gold is that not stagflation? I'm not comparing colonialism. I'm only stating that Colonialism in itself was a show of strength. THEY have been powerful for long. It was a dog eat dog world then. It no longer a dog eat world (relatively) BUT America IS still the MOST influential country in the world today. America (as imperfect as it is) is more trusted (secretly) I'm not talking of openly.

U busy pasting google at me again? LOL America’s ascension was after WW2 1939-1945. Cos Europe had gone into bankruptcy. Due to colonialism UK at a time had the highest gold reserve in the world. So if the Anglo-America alliance during the war were significant reserve currencies, it’s understandable. Today, the story is much different. And nations generally want to determine afresh the basis for which their goods and services will be exchanged. Cos Western currency are fraudulent.. Next read Petro-dollar The bolded answers your questions. The west ($ & £) had the dominant currency PRIOR to your Breton woods conference. AND THAT'S my point. They WERE Dominant & are still ARE dominant. Again The US was the world's dominant economy by 1930. Sorry I don't want to post Google again. But which country was the World largest economy in 1930?Of course Colonialism is bad BUT every Nation had to show force before the 1900s. Even your (USS)Russia colonized others didn't they? Why weren't they (Russians) as dominant? |

The decision to hold reserve in dollar was a fraudulent scheme hatched by the west. It was about the end of WW2 where America used Nukes on Japanese cities, so intimidation is also probable. The lie was that American economy could guarantee all other world currencies. It could not then as it cannot now. The dollar is no different from a dud Cheque. There is no guarantee for it. They can afford to print any amount of it and pay for anything from people like u and u will not even notice u are being scammed Just like I issuing u millions of cheques, u can’t cash in any bank for u goods and services. I guess that will make me the most indebted person. America is the most indebted nation on earth. She can’t pay and rather go to war if it comes to dat The problem with your argument is that BEFORE the WW2, the US($) & UK(£) already made 75% + of global reserves — PRIOR to 1940. The US BECAME the world's largest economy before 1940. If your Breton woods argument is true, why was the global reserve dominant currency a western one before 1940?

That’s exactly the problem. The American wealth is not cause she is the biggest market or the greatest in everything. It’s simply cos her currency is the world reserve currency. If she wants money, she can print it anytime, anyday and anyhow. America’s trade balance with China is 1:3 today. Imagine if America had to pay for goods and services in gold, she will definitely be unable to spend lavishly as she does today. Russia never intends to be the reserve currency, but the BRICS is pushing for a world reserve based on gold. Not colored worthless paper like dollar. Hahaha. So America's currency is what has made the country economically great? Hear yourself. How can a creation($) make a CREATOR (country) great? Correction: IT IS THE US's greatness that has made it have the most influential currency ($) in the World NOT the other way around. Also, if the pervasiveness of the $ is due to freewill printing, why don't other countries do the same? Should be easy right ? You also have answered what % of world reserves is held in Rubles? Or that doesn't matter? |

The dollar? Well, the BRICS DONT trade in Dollars till date and the organization has several applications from new prospective nations. Russia was able to force abt 10 European nations to buy gas with Roubles. Its gradual, but certain. The dollar will be dumped. Canada is 6% according to ur chart and Kuwait another America’s lickspittle is 3%. So it’s 29% for America then? Do u know why the gulf states are befriending Putin, cos they saw how he shielded Assad from NATO. So they can confidently shun the arrogance of American without fear of being attacked cos of Russian cover. Gulf oil is on the side of Russia. No one wants to sell mineral resources in terms that completely Favour the west at their own economics detriment. So the changes you forsee in petroleum trading which is <10% of global trade would cause the dollar to lose relevance when 60%+ of world's reserves are held in dollars? The rest of the non oil world trade, in which currency is it denominated? What % of global reserves is held in Rubles?

So where exactly is America's heavy dependence on Saudi & Russia & Venezuela as you mentioned previously for 'cheap' oil.
With you first statement about US seeking cheap oil from Venezuela, Saudi and Iraq one would have thought they account for much larger than they actually do.
But thanks for the enlightenment. The US is clearly not HEAVILY dependent on any of Russia, Venezuela, Iraq or Russia.

U don’t understand  The world and the economics is a creation of some countries. It can be different. Russia is not the one creating the template for world economics, it’s d west and that template is gradually slipping.

Why is it d global currency? Russia want to finish America  So when exactly is the dollar coming to an end in global trade so that we can hold you to your bluff? In your fake 80% where is Canada? |

Analyze ur data closely. America produces just 20%! Meaning a huge chunk of 80% is out of her hands? And her key allies on dat chart are Canada and Kuwait, doing like 9% in total. Implication is that America cannot supply her Allies, or secure their energy needs. After this winter, will see whether Russia will be the new master of Europe. The American dollar survives today on petrol-dollars. If fossil energy becomes problematic, then many of these western countries may no longer play along with America’s lies. Who for decades have suppressed truths about free energy available in AC currents. Since the fifties it is proven that water can run cars. But American companies will lose their edge and global competitiveness if the rules are suddenly flipped. So 20% oil is wretched for a manipulative braggart like America So America with 20% is a helpless entity? But UAE + Russia which is still <20% is king. Hahahaha. I said NOTHING about America's ally by the way. I am only talking about AMERICA alone. You're the first person I've seen who says that the top producer of a commodity is wretched while others (much lower) are Kings. Hahahaha.

There's nothing to double check, these are the facts. If America buys to sell to Europe how then is Europe dependent MASSIVELY on Russia. They should just switch to US (per your logic without qualms). So why the energy crisis in Europe? Also. China is the world Largest Auto industry NOT Japan.

ThePolemicist: It’s unfortunate that Ukraine have allowed themselves to be used as a pawn. Putin is simply protecting his interest and that of his people. Will USA allow Mexico make similar moves with a known and sworn enemy of the USA?
Their hypocrisy stinks to the highest heavens. USA is one of the problems of the world today. But Putin is in Partnership with Nicaraguan President. He even has Military programmes there with Daniel Ortega— who's a dictator. You might say Nicaragua doesn't sit on America's border. True. Latvia & Estonia sits on Russia's border & are NATO countries 15+ years. Why hasn't Russia attacked them? Ukraine isn't even a member. By your assertions why hasn't Ortega been ousted? He ruled Nicaragua for 20 non consecutive years. The problem with blaming the US for every dictator toppled is that you make America appear Omnipresent/more powerful than it really is. No dictator can be toppled without HUGE efforts from insiders. If not Bashir Al Asad (Syria) would have been toppled. |
