Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I'd say EU is the best spot. But I may be biased. But IMO EU stands for reliability economically, and in political direction, and in respect for its citizens and in international relations.

With China we have seen the system can make harmful interference as we saw with Jack Ma. So for me China is not an option either. It's actually worse than USA, although not by much.

but what is even the method, if the us currency is cooked what make world work then?

The USD is the most used reserve currency, that will probably remain the case for a while yet, but it will probably decrease, and other currencies will be used more.
That's not a problem for the world, only for USA. As it will make it necessary to print less money, and/or increase interest rates to stave off inflation. This will of course make USA a bit poorer than it would have been otherwise.
How dramatic the effect will be obviously depends on the speed this will happen at. I think it will be slow, so not very dramatic.

But I don't think Trump understands the privilege it has been for USA to have the world leading reserve currency.

just the turmoil from moving from one to the other. Then lets say EU takes off, but they get psy-oped to FAFO also. Where does it end when in this current climate that there is no centralized barometer of value?
