lol, no.
You can lol all you want but there is a reason why the majority of the world uses the USD as the reserve currency.
Facts are facts. Agree with it or not.
Sure there is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_system
And this negates my point how? Or was that to back up my point?
I do not see that as the US being the benevolent beacon of freedom and safety they claim to be, no.
Where did I say it was? Reading comprehension is terrible in this thread
It's also a fact that the US started multiple long wars for oil or influence.
And this again makes my point invalid how? Most of you seem to think empires magically gained their power via holding hands with everyone.
What is that reason? Be specific.
As in why? It's because we dump a massive amount of money into our military might and play world police. The majority of us want out, but we've created a monster that everyone hates but relies on.
You sure can rely on the US meddling in global affairs when they have no right yeah. All you need is the "might" right?
You are correct, but that isn't negating my point
Which is what exactly? "The US is liked because it creates stability in the world" is propaganda, not a point
It's not propaganda lol, the fuck are you on. Countries leaders and their economics like the USA because it created stability in global markets.
You're naive as fuck if you think this isn't true... it's literally been like this for nearly a century.
