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.

This weekend's #TrumpFuckery with attacking the #USFederalReserve seems like a not especially well thought-out move. Like, even less well thought out than attacking Venezuela without getting buying of not just Congress but the oil companies you're trying to get to help you steal Venezuela's oil. It feels like this is the ultimate test of how bought-in #Trump's billionaire backers are to the destruction of the US economy. If they all _aren't_ bought in, then pissing off a cabal of centi-billionaires seems like a great way to invite an assassination.
