Well, US companies have the monopoly on credit cards. US imposes SWIFT all around he world. If I buy something on amazon, or alibaba, it will be converted to USD and then to my currency. All commodities, on what my country depends, are rated in USD, even if few sell it to China or Europe… And all of this for what? What is the actual value US is putting into all of this? Its only getting a share on something it has nothing to do. And it just gives US fu**ed up governors the chance to impose sanctions to whoever they want in order to interfere with foreign affairs.

You’re maybe right… I’d love to see an alternative currency for international trade though. We’re done with US Dollars.

Not yet… At least here se don’t see any movement or change yet…

Me diga se vc gostaria de viver hoje na China, Rússia, Índia… Talvez no Irã? Ditaduras declaradas, a tempos! Eu concordou que o BR não pode se vender aos EUA (de novo) mas a alternativa também não é lá muito promissora…

It’s crazy how, here in Brazil, we kind of have to chose now if we stay besides USA or China… We hate what Trump is doing to us, but at the same time, our partners in BRICS are not a bed of roses either… It seems the bipolarization of the world is coming to its max now, again, after cold war…
