Rapid fire
Chinese mediate détente between Saudis and Iran. Bang ! Unprecedented shift.
Saudis look elsewhere when Credit Suisse, where they have a significant stake, falls. I.e. finally dumping hopeless assets. For real. Bang ! A powerful indirect warning.
European bankers shiver a level of magnitude worse than American bankers, who are counting their losses on their side. Muffled bang ‘cause, you know… here comes the run. Bank run.
American drone on patrol, as usual, gets sprayed and knocked down mercilessly by China’s ally, who was pissed… aaa… sprayed on its turn by losing European US’s allies hydrocarbons markets at US bequest (mostly). Bang ! A powerful precedent was created.
Saudis pre-warn about any attempt to “politicize” oil and reject “dictates” from ‘friendlies’. Those Saudis who propped the dollar extravaganza for decades. Bang ! Worse than a warning, a threat.
China is the major hydrocarbons-hungry country. Saudis, Iran and Russia acting in tune on the hydrocarbons market… can you see a common link here ? Sure you can.
But don’t lose from sight the major weak link. European ‘allies’ number 550 million peasants compared to the 330 million US peasants. China can and is helping its 140 million peasants strong Russian ally. US can’t do the same, instead is kicking butt of its European ones, especially pounding on the major ‘ally’, the backbone of the whole EUropean construct (albeit a spineless one), ‘cause… why not !? Imagine how the Saudis feel when they observe what’s happening with the first rate European peasants.
550 million peasants accustomed with a good life. Soon to be angrier than MSM can hide. Mega bang at the horizon.
Deliberate moves ? Could be. But if the adversary, to use an euphemism, plays you, how come the only ‘solutions’, in use or in project, are sanctions suicide, climate hoax suicide (through useless ‘green’ energy and agricultural production dive), CB aggravated inflation suicide preparing the… CBDC genocide. Who’s the real enemy then ? I’ve exhausted the bang superlatives.
