Tucker Carlson: The political strategists in Washington are crazy. Biden, supported by his Republican cronies in the Senate, has made up his mind not only to overthrow the Moscow government, [ovvero di iniziare] another war of regime change, but also set out to reverse the postwar economic order that has benefited us so much for so long.
At one point, we thought that the real threat to our future might not even be the billions sent to Zelensky. It was stupid, but maybe it wasn’t yet a choice that would spell doom for America. The real threat was the unprecedented economic sanctions Biden enforced [e continua ad applicare].
These sanctions, as you recall, were supposed to harm Russia. But by March of last year it was already obvious that they hurt the United States much more than Russia.
So, a year later, despite all the powerful sanctions meted out to Russia, the Russian ruble is just as strong against the US dollar as it was before the conflict in Ukraine: we haven’t hurt Russia with sanctions, certainly not in the long term. .
But they got hurt. Wise foreigners, and you thought there were none, began to get rid of US dollars. Why? Because now the dollar is no longer a safe reserve deposit. [Il dollaro] it has turned out to be a political weapon that will be used arbitrarily against anyone.
[Ad esempio], What if you have a border dispute with a neighbor that you don’t have State Department approval for? Or if you inadvertently badmouth a transgender religion and anger human rights activists? The US government can convict you as a sinner and confiscate your money.
They did the same with Russia. And as a result, the dollar looks much less attractive to all other countries. And the de-dollarization has begun, which has accelerated over the past year with virtually no comment from the Western media.
