Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA?
shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 5 days agoIts not just the Western world.
America defined the new world order after world war 2.
They accrued 75% of the worlds golds reserves selling weapons to allies during WW2.
This allowed them to peg the dollar to gold under the Breton Woods system, allowing their currency to become the global reserve currency.
The rest is history.

Yeah.
I have mixed feelings about it. How would the world look if it was China or Russia that managed to do that? How would Europe look?
I mean, maybe better but I have so much western propaganda in me, that i cant judge how Russia or China would be.
