Nope, you don’t understand the dynamics. What made dollar attractive? It was apolitical. Now if you cancel the Russians from the financial system, why won’t you cancel someone else next? The Western system is no longer safe.

Cancel culture turns everyone into an enemy.

It is a form of mass suicide.

Exactly.

Look into the censored aftermath of the Schwab stooges in Canada cancelling the truckers.

Massive bank runs, hidden by Fecesbuch, the Twittsewer and Goolag, of course.

Only the fools who believed the government line in Canada still have their assets at the mercy of the TechnoLords.

Heck, people that I know here in the US took a position in cash and physical assets.

Nope, you don’t understand the dynamics. What made dollar attractive? It was apolitical.

It was also linked to a stable country with largely honest elections, a stable economy, and trustworthy financial system.

Now, all of the above is being seriously called into question. Why trust the dollar when the US is no less corrupt or unstable than China?

Stolen elections have massive consequences.

Bingo!

Putin canceled Russian from the financial system, most of the world seems to agree with that view, except our traditional enemies like North Korea, and a few others. I doubt there are many in the way of additional countries that are afraid of being a next cancel. Putin created the unsafety, and the Russian people will be long in recovering from his miscalculation.
