Are there just consequenses for the US Market or just for the whole World? Everything runs on US Dollars doesn’t it?

    USA has been allowed to roleplay as world police using other people’s borrowed money to supplement oil revenue to pay for their army.

    China’s push toward electrification & USA’s recent self-goals undermine the world order that USA has been perched on top of since WWII.

    If the rest of the world collectively decides they’ve had enough of USA’s bullshit, they can just choose to stop lending money for nonsense like a dozen aircraft carriers full of F-35’s.

    Among the consequences of living in such a world, is the various regional hegemonies would need to arm themselves to police their own backyards. Pakistan and India. Saudi Arabia, UAE and Iran. Russia and EU. If they all got a cut of the global military production that today arms USA, would they use it against each other?
