  • Dems would have you believe it’s the big bad oil companies that are raking in all that extra dough. SOURCE: TheRecount

Destroying the dominance of the dollar

• Last week, we reported Visa and Mastercard suspended operations in Russia.
• Well, Russia will now issue cards with UnionPay, the Chinese state-owned payment system. SOURCE: Newsweek
• That means money will now go to a company controlled by the CCP
• This may seem like a strictly private sector decision, but it mirrors the US sanctioning SWIFT and other Russian banks.
  • This will only push Russia to Chinese alternatives, including their version of SWIFT, CIPS. SOURCE: SCMP
  • The Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) is designed to increase international use of the yuan.
  • If more countries follow, it would weaken the dollar’s power in international trade.
• It’s not just Russia and China. India also fears the US might use similar economic measures against them. SOURCE: TimesofIndia
• They’re actually considering doing that right now. SOURCE: Reuters
• In 2018, India bought a missile defense system from Russia to guard against Pakistan and China.
• Now, China is praying the US sanctions India, so they can swoop in. SOURCE: Xinhua
  • Yesterday, not coincidentally, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said China and India should be partners rather than adversaries
• India is a major partner the US needs to hedge against China in the Pacific.
  • They are part of the “anti-Chinese” collective called the QUAD, along with the US, Japan, and Australia.
• The combined population of Russia, China, and India is about 2.9 Billion.
• If these three countries move away from the dollar as their main reserve currency, it would increase interest rates in the US and make it much more difficult for the US government to fund itself.

CAIN VELASQUEZ
