The Decline And Fall Of Western Civilization Part 2: Ukraine And The US Dollar

Given the Western world's media and politicians are asleep at the wheel here, as our empire falls, an episode as each shoe drops. After China upended decades of sacrosanct Middle Eastern affairs by brokering peace between the mortal enemies of Iran and Saudi Arabia, now the next shoe. Brazil and China agreeing to ditch the US dollar in trade between the two countries. This is huge, as the hegemony of the US dollar being the world's base currency, likely led to the wars in Iraq and Libya and is a huge driver of American foreign policy. The war in Ukraine has ironically, by the insanely punitive nature of Western sanctions and asset taking, shown the rest of the world (most of it) that your money isn't safe in $USD and if you step out of line, the West will take it. It could end up the most expensive war the US has ever fought.
