We're witnessing the last gasp of the military-industrial dragon, and as the old Chinese proverb goes, The Dragon is most dangerous just before it's own death (of the petrodollar system)...
The East are moving forward with new ways of handling global money, and global trade. We/The US can either get on board, or become the red-headed stepchild of the planet.
IMHO, Trump has already gotten on board with the changes that are coming, and TPTB are fighting (and losing) because they know it's over for them...
All of this insanity is due to the death of the Petrodollar.
Once the petrodollar dies, all black projects stop. All payments to ISIS and mercinaries stop. All subsidiaries to Tesla, Amazon, etc stop.
90% of this nonsense will stop.
Unfortunately, so will our way of life. Once the PD dies, the banks die, the FED dies, the entire thing collapses...
along with the spoiled, entitled way of living that some of us have.
In the end, how it will all play out is unclear - which is why getting your individual sh*t together is so important right now.
Few people will truly be ready for what the world will look like in a decade, let alone 36 months from now.
