And we’ve overplayed the monetary sanctions to the point that other countries will avoid using US dollars or US banks.
“And we’ve overplayed the monetary sanctions to the point that other countries will avoid using US dollars or US banks.”
Absolutely. If the Neocons were SMART, they would have struck FAR EARLIER, as in the 1990 timeframe, when China and India were very weak and Russia was on it’s knees.
Given the situation in the 2020s, the SMART MOVE for the Neocons would have been to continue their ‘soft power’ approach to induce the people in Russia and other countries to force their governments to move our way (that was actually working!).
They didn’t - not enough patience, I guess. As far as I can tell despite all of the EVIDENCE available to them, the Neocons still thought they ruled the planet and crush any country that gave them trouble - even today. The Neocons don’t seem to learn from their stupidity, so I guess they’ll wind up taking the West down with them.
