RE:SanctionsTdsb,
Indeed sanctions as part of a war waged on Russia is precisely what is directly facing China going forward; and don't think for a nanosecond that Chinese leadership was not long ago well prepared (in fact long before China entered the WTO) for the days when the U.S. and it's Western world member state accomplices would escalate their actions globally in attempting to weaken and then utterly collapse the Chinese economy and thereby illiminate the always entrenched system of Chinese government political administration.
When I stated, "ask Germany what happens when the U.S. sanctions China like it's sanctioning Russia", it was more my suggesting we both know the answer than it was a question?
Germany was made by America and it's warmongring to just about forfeit it's economic dominance of the European Union and is now dependent on energy sources which are never going to be as sound and reliable as the cheapest natural gas supply amongst it's EU member state nations which Russia had been provisioning for the German peoples and the German economy.
The current Chancellor of Germany deserves to be hanged for treason against Germania.
A Germania made to be subservient to the will of the Americanized Capitalist oligarchs and their controlled banksters -who are embedded within the European Union and the EU financial power base structure-, is a Germania which has been taken down by a specific Americanized Capaitalist oligarchs spread global mental virus.
You portray America as weakened; it's not, i.e. at least not just yet weakened enough.
Give the U.S. political administrators and the very oligarchs - who operate such Democrat and Republican politicians like long ago bought and paid for marionettes - a suitable lengh of strong enough rope, the scheduled time and the specific ocassion and they'll hang one another for sure - a la Jeffrey Epstein..
Dictate and strike is precisely what works for the U.S..
Keep in mind that such a approach also works quite well when employed by China, Russia and "friends".
Soon tdsb. Soon enough the long U.S, U.K, Germany, France, Italy, operating global oligarchs will learn the error of their ways; and it's certainly not only about the U.S Dollar world reserve currency status.
What's more, it's multidimensional and simultaneous multiple opponents type of chess tdsb.
Do you think Northern Graphite would be in a better position then vs. now?
