De-dollarization kicks into high gear — Pepe Escobar

De-dollarization is a process that Pepe Escobar sees as not only underway but also the inevitable outcome of Western overreach in the form of imposition of neoliberalism, neo-imperialism, and neocoloniztion through hybrid warfare including economic. Weaponizing the dollar pushed the Global South and East over the edge. 

In terms of the world system, de-dollarization can be viewed as an extension of decolonization, which is the real meaning of multipolarism, and which is being led by China and Russia against the US and its "allies" that are actually more vassals than allies.

Ever exuberant, Pepe may be getting ahead of the curve in his enthusiasm. The Empire is not dead yet and it will resist, since this is an existential threat to its existence. Ukraine is likely just a warm-up.

Russia and China will complement each other in those technologies where one of the parties seeks advancement – Vladimir Putin

“We recently met with a colleague from China, we spoke very frankly in many areas and agreed that we should complement each other there – especially in high-tech industries – where one of us achieves some kind of movement forward,” Putin said, noting that we are talking about the exchange of information and assistance in the development of the market.

According to Vladimir Putin, it is necessary at the government level to develop tools to support exports, and there are government structures that are doing this.

“I am sure that colleagues in friendly countries will support this. Unmanned aerial vehicles do not suffer from African swine fever, so I am sure that it will be even easier than promoting pork to the Chinese market,” the Russian President noted with a smile.

  1. The earlier the Global South realizes they cannot blame the US for all their problems, the better.

  5. In the case of Mexico, poverty + a century of corruption. The ruling families in Mexico are the worst of the worst.

  7. I described Mexico's culture of brutality, which answers your question.

    Shall I describe the beautiful aspects of Mexican culture, to provide some 'balance'?

    You believe Americans are immune from such a fate?
    Don't.

    For someone who is STEM educated, you're quite the bigot.

    In my opinion the Empire is dead already. The ship is going down, and the elites are grabbing the silverware in the short time they have left. Election fraud is rampant. The peasants are crippled by debt and inflation. Many don’t know if they are boys or girls. Most of the larger U.S. cities are crime-ridden sewers in which criminals are not prosecuted unless they are white. Big Pharma rules medicine. Democrats and establishment Republicans care about nothing except staying in office. The US president can’t even wipe his own a** without help. It is a crime to reveal political corruption.

    “Ukraine is just a warm-up.” I disagree. As I see it, the USA is powerless to do anything anymore. Its military is fully “woke” and fully injected with mRNA toxins. Military contractors are grifters that produce garbage. In Sudan, all nations have evacuated their people (including 1,500 Chinese), while the U.S, government tells Americans to suck it; there will be no evacuation from Sudan except for State Dept. bureaucrats. It’s Afghanistan 2.0. As for Ukraine, it is nothing more than a money-laundering operation at this point.

    It’s all over. The elevator cables have snapped, and the car is hurtling down the shaft.

  9. Americans are indifferent to what occurs outside of America's borders. Empire is obsessed with geopolitics; peasants are concerned with local issues. Guess whose priorities matter.
