If the Us keeps attacking its allies economically and militarily the petrodollar will crumble and those trillions of dollars of debt will start to be a heavy burden
Tons of countries buy the dollar bond because it’s a safe bet. It’s how the world does finance.
If that stops, then the world stops buying dollars. And then America has to start justifying why a printed dollar justifies buying an import from China or Europe of real valuable goods
Israel always was, at least for the last 2 decades. We all (including me) were just too blind and stupid to see through it.
If you want to form an opinion around Israel, I would've suggested, in better times, visiting the Red Crescent center in Doha accommodating and treating Gazan women and children.
> Good for them. Defending their country from an unprovoked invasion.
It's hardly unprovoked.
> The hypocrisy of the west is astounding.
How is it at all hypocritical for the west to want to stop a regime of terrorists like the one in Iran?
> Israel has become pure evil.
Israel didn't murder over 30,000 of their own citizens in 2 days by firing automatic weapons into crowds of protesters, that was the Islamic regime in Iran. When it comes to western values in the middle east Israel is very obviously doing better that any other country in the region, despite Israels issues.
why US wouldn't block those tankers? Is there 5-dimensional chess somewhere here that i don't see? One can also wonder what money and through which banks Iran is getting for that oil - i'd find it hard to believe that Iran would accept Chinese currency and store it in Chinese banks.
I would encourage anyone reading this thread to expand the greyed-out comments. There's honestly something really sinister going on here which goes way beyond opinion.
There's also some sort of branching strategy happening to cut off points which criticise the wanted fugitive Bibi Netanyahu. The genocidal former furniture salesman who will kill anyone and everyone to avoid his corruption charges.
Trump wants to attack Iran and ends up helping them more than ever. And Russia can also sell more oil at a higher price now. Great job. He went in without a goal, plan or exist strategy, and it really looks like he'll end up strengthening Iran.
At least I hope that Russia's support for Iran and Ukraine's support for the Gulf states, ends up finally driving a wedge between Putin and Trump. But in every other respect, he's just strengthening authoritarian regimes.
Netanyahu will let the whole world burn in a trash fire before getting to the point where he will need to face his corruption charges. He's a narcissistic and genocidal former furniture salesman. Human life is extremely cheap for him. There are really not enough arrest warrants on his disgusting person.

And they know who to blame. The U.S. and Israel.
This is a long term, probably irreversible, disaster for both countries.
> Major geopolitical failure by the US.
Nah, soft power is out. Bluntly, if the Philippines strays too far from US interests, they can be strangled, first economically, then militarily.
If that stops, then the world stops buying dollars. And then America has to start justifying why a printed dollar justifies buying an import from China or Europe of real valuable goods
The hypocrisy of the west is astounding. I hope this is creates a breach between US / Israel relationships. Israel has become pure evil.
