I'm shocked at the cavalier attitude I'm seeing here in these comments. There's a sense of entitlement. The US gets to put anything on its credit card that it wants at the expense of the rest of the world, without the concern of solvency, and if you don't like it, well, talk to my army? Is that moral? Will it last? Do you really think that 10x spending means getting 10x as much? Do you realize how much corruption and "hospital pricing" (e.g. $100 Advil) is in that? For so many, large changes seem impossible. Every empire in history was assumed to last forever. Every pride of lions has an alpha until it gets weak enough compared to the next usurper. His reign lasts years and years, and then changes in a moment, forever. The petrodollar wasn't going to last forever. Why would anyone think it would? The Nixon Shock always had an expiration date. You realize that three weeks ago the Saudis signed a military agreement with Russia, right? The Fed clearly can't raise rates so it's been "printing". US debt was 5 trillion in 2000, it's 29 trillion now. Don't read the next sentence if you don't want a spoiler. It's over. A lot of people still don't know it, but it's over. It's that moment in the chess game where you simply trade pieces. As the comment above said, watch this space for the next month. Lenin had a great quote about times like these: "There are decades when nothing happens and weeks where decades happen."
