the dollar will die from falling up. as you, brent and basically everyone else has figured out at this point, the current system we call economy is set up in a way where the usd cannot fail due to historical reasons, like a computer game where you are in a certain level and can't go back. the real catch is that the current system is getting more and more disconnected from the real economy which involves production, assembly, delivery of mostly physical goods and things like electricity, gas, food, internet (cables, routers, etc). the us and their allies have extremely financialized economies, with markets going up and up and that has been sucking out the life out of the real economy. have you heard of companies closing all their factories and going into "financial restructuring"? basically, firing everyone, taking all the company money and investing in some inflated asset has more returns than actually doing stuff in the real world. why would i open a warehouse and fight for profit in the us when i can take the same money and dump on $meta for easy returns from selling advertisements? the more the us sucks out liquidity from the rest of the world the more the problem accelerates. a simple example of a challenge being taken against this system, even if it turns out not successful, is the russian war. this is a country nominally with the same wealth as italy, but fighting off a coalition of the most wealthy nations to ever exist. could italy do the same? and if not why? if we take these factors into consideration is the balance of power really still the same as we think?
