#1 hopefully china is watching.
Suddenly cut off entirely from the world... that's what would happen if they invaded Taiwan despite all the payments they've made.

#3 Tough talk. China has its own alternative to SWIFT. Plus four trillion in reserves. Plus a line of medium to large countries eager to be rid of US dollar blackmail and happy to have access to a rival currency.

Get ready for de-dollarisation - now it's a re prospect in the near term, with America's sedentary warriors egging on stupid US officials.

America, shooting itself in the balls and deliberately bringing about the decline of the dollar: How did your country become so stupid?

#6 @ #2 - When the poop hits the fan with China, will Americans (with a nudge from gov't and the MSM) boycott Chinese goods and pharmaceuticals (just above everything)? Will those stores be boycotted? (Rhetorical question as it won't happen.)
