What if the rest of the world figures out that the dollar is backed by nothing; the U.S. can create an unlimited supply of dollars, and the dollar is being wantonly debased? From Brandon Smith at alt-market.us:

In a recent statement posted to social media, Tucker Carlson explained succinctly his many reasons for traveling to Russia to interview President Vladimir Putin. His decision, mired in an avalanche of outrage from leftist media talking heads and a multitude of western politicians, was inspired by Carlson’s concern that Americans have been misdirected by corporate propaganda leaving the public completely uneducated on the war in Ukraine and what tensions with the East might lead to.
I agree. In fact, I don’t think the majority of Americans have a clue what the real consequences of a global war with Russia and its allies would look like. Even if the conflict never resulted in shots fired and stayed confined to the realm of economic warfare, the US and most of Europe would be devastated by the effects.
Carlson specifically mentioned dangers to the status of the US dollar, and I suspect this comment probably mystified a great number of people. Most of the population cannot fathom the idea of a US dollar implosion set in motion by a foreign dump of the greenback as the world reserve currency. They really do believe the dollar is invincible.
The most delusional people are, unfortunately, those within mainstream economic circles. They just can’t seem to grasp that the west is in the midst of financial collapse already, and war would accelerate the effects to levels not seen since the Great Depression.
It’s already here and those old B&W photos of wheelbarrows full of marks for the loaf of bread that went up by $50,000 overnight will be live and direct in seven dimensions.
They will make great kindling if you are an outlaw and still own a wood burning stove.
I love to place some shelled peanuts on top of wood burning stove and let them marinate, nom, nom, nom.
The self-appointed wizards of smart chose to weaponize the dollar and use it as a blunt instrument to bludgeon.
These things happen when a private bankster cartel controls the money supply.
