China can't be paved, and has launched their own exchange. US Debt Empire is losing its shit over this. But Capps says it's all good, because feelz, so I guess it's nothing. Chinese gov will just keep buying our sucker's debt, despite having their own oil exchange, because Capps said to.

USD > PetroYuan, so yeah they will keep buying your debt. Just because they created a new alternative doesn't mean it's going to take over, you America hating SIFCLF. The US isn't losing it's shit over this at all, they are sleeping quite soundly, King Dollar's throne is secure for a while to come.

PetroYuan ain't shit.

Well, I certainly hope you're correct, but what the hell would China gain by attacking Russia (or vice-versa), when Korea goes hot? What's the casus belli?

Russia can't pretend that the Chinese citizens are agitating for defection. China can't pretend that they have some ancient claim to Vladivostok.
The only way this makes sense, would be for them prepping to stop Unca Sam's rampage across the peninsula.

It's not so much that the Chinese are preparing to attack Russia, but as the Russians try to use Pyongyang as leverage, the Russians inserting themselves as the power broker, the Chinese respond by rattling sabers to send a message that they are the big dog now and Russia should just stick to its knitting.

It's actually more about the Chinese not having any control over Pyongyang, and Pyongyang being able to punk them off, by working with the Russians, which is the same as it was in the Cold War, except the Russians are even more brazen about it now, because Pyongyang is even more useful to them, now that China has become more powerful vis a vis Russia.

But make no mistake, the Russians and Chinese have come to the brink of war before, there's a lot of tension on that border, the Russians seized all that territory from the Chinese, and the Chinese are now flexing their muscles to menace the Russians, the Russians used to be on top, but now the Chinese are on top, so the Russians are now the ones who are poking the Dragon and the Dragon is now the one rattling sabers back at the Bear.

Guess I have to go elementary-level for this.

- US maintains absurd spending, to keep global currency hegemony.

- China bankrolls it for decades, buying up our debt. In effect, they own the mortgage on the US.
China eventually accumulates enough of it, that we can't afford to lose the gravy train.

- US prints money like crackheads, to stop financial collapse. China sees dollar about to inflate like crazy, and their debt will be worth less.

- China proposes a new global exchange for oil.

- US dollar is challenged by yuan. All it takes is a couple of ME countries to buy in, and it's over. Iran is already down with it.

- Saudis get a new king doing weird shit. US gets a new president doing weird shit. US gets crazy with Norks. US gets crazy with Russia.

- China lines up troops on the border with Norks and Russia.

US and China and Russia will totally not fight, because... Capps said so, and GCF hates America.
clown show continues.

Well that's the thing, far from being in a position of military advantage, the Chinese are actually surrounded by enemies, Russia to the north, India to the south, Japan and ASEAN in the China Seas to the east, and the Muslim hordes to the west.

No, silly. They aren't going to buy any more of it. That's the point.

We've poisoned the well, by lowering the value of the dollar. We're going to buy less of their shit, and still ask them to buy our bonds, while making them worth less. China said 'fuck no', and made their own exchange. They have us by the hairs.

ALL OVER

IT'S ALL OVER

The well is far from poisoned, they are going to keep buying, you're a SIFCLF. America has China by the balls, they'd rather have USD and own US debt than use the PetroYuan, and that isn't going to change anytime soon. Just because America keeps borrowing and spending doesn't mean the sky is falling, creating an alternative doesn't mean the alternative is going to takeover.
