This has got to have a bunch of the elites in banking, politics, and the rest of the corrupt moneyed establishment shaking in their boots, as they say.

In short: the USA has enjoyed a privileged position since the end of WWII, because the #US #dollar has been the de-facto standard international #currency. Not just for trade, but as a reserve as well. Other countries buy US-issued government #bonds by the absolute truckload, and it lets the US spend far above its income without triggering the #hyperinflation you see when another country does that by printing money (see: Zimbabwe).

The foundation of that international currency choice is the oil trade. Pretty much every oil transaction between parties in different countries uses US dollars, hence the "petrodollar' name.

#Chinese yuan becoming an alternate global reserve and trading currency has been a worry for the US for some years now. Oil transactions happening in #yuan could make it happen in a big way.

And then the dominoes might start falling. I'd say "popcorn time", but the collateral damage to the US #economy collapsing will have huge consequences for us all.
