> china already has everything in place, and brics would basically be a kind of bretton woods. if the saudis begin selling oil in yuan, we're fucked. you have a lot more confidence in china than even the chinese do. this is the problem: all your shit rests on this assumption that theres gonna be some magical collapse in spite of all the reasons you gave supporting why theres no active incentive for people to change from the dollar. the saudis arent going to look at china and go hmm im thinkin theyre a stable, viable alternative to the us!. who in their right mind would? the idea that russia and china see one another as equals, let alone any other country, is laughable almost beyond words.
