So you're proud of innocent civilians dying and indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets and people dying?
Are you a retard? I am not proud of anyone dying. This is a War and people will Die. You obviously are proud of people dying because you support the Neocon Globalist like Victoria Nuland, John McCain and Lindsey Graham who started this War.

it is not voluntary de-dollarization when the CCP doesnt have have enough dollars to send to the Russians
Are you retarded? China can get as many dollars as they want. They are choosing to not use the dollar. You should educate yourself before looking like a dumbass
"As one of the world's largest economies and trading powers, China actively uses the USD in various capacities, including holding vast reserves of US Treasuries (making it one of the top foreign holders), settling international trade deals, and conducting cross-border financial transactions.
The USD remains the dominant currency for global trade, and much of China's trade—especially with the US and many other partners—is still denominated in dollars.
There are no blanket international restrictions preventing China from using the USD; in fact, China's central bank has historically pegged the yuan (RMB) to a basket that includes the dollar to stabilize its value.
However, China's own capital controls limit the free flow of foreign currencies to prevent capital flight and maintain economic stability, but these do not prohibit USD usage in approved trade or investment contexts.
China is not using the USD as much as before due to a deliberate strategy of de-dollarization, driven by geopolitical, economic, and strategic factors. This shift has accelerated in recent years, with over 30% of China's trade in goods and services now settled in yuan (up from 14% in 2019), and more than 50% of its cross-border trade with emerging markets conducted in RMB.
Key reasons include:
Geopolitical risks and sanctions avoidance:
Tensions with the US, including trade wars and the weaponization of the dollar (e.g., sanctions on Russia), have prompted China to reduce vulnerability to US financial controls. By diversifying away from the USD, China aims to hedge against potential asset freezes or exclusion from dollar-based systems like SWIFT.
Promoting yuan internationalization:
China is actively pushing the RMB as a global reserve and trade currency through initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative, bilateral currency swaps, and encouraging foreign institutions to hold and use yuan. This includes settling more commodity trades (e.g., oil) in RMB to challenge USD dominance and boost China's economic influence.
BRICS and multilateral efforts:
As part of the BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and expanded members), China supports de-dollarization through local currency settlements and alternative payment systems. This is seen as a way to foster a multipolar world order and reduce reliance on Western financial infrastructure.
Economic diversification and confidence erosion:
Post-global financial crisis and amid faltering global confidence in the USD (due to US debt levels, inflation, and policy uncertainty), China has sought to extend RMB usage in reserves and trade to build resilience and capitalize on opportunities in emerging markets.
While de-dollarization is progressing, it's gradual—China still holds trillions in USD assets and benefits from the dollar's stability in many trades. Full displacement of the USD is unlikely soon, but China's efforts reflect a long-term ambition to reshape global finance."

The Armed Forces of Ukraine will soon lower mobilization age by 1 year, and mobilize 23-year-olds
"By 2026, the mobilization age will be lowered to 23. There aren't enough people, but the line of combat engagement must be held. Infantry is essential”
— The commander of the drone systems battalion of the 29th separate anti-aircraft missile brigade
-> In spring 2024, Zelensky already lowered the mobilization age from 27 to 25. So, they were enough for 1.5 year only."

This article is from the Economist that is a Globalist Neocon run Magazine who is not pro China. Hundreds of sources are reporting about the de-dollarization that is currently happening. This is not just China reporting it

they can try to spin it however they want, nobody wants to willingly accept the yuan
Incorrect, if nobody didn't want to except it than they wouldn't, They have alternative options. The problem is other nations are losing trust in the dollar and the current system. Stealing $200 billion of Russian money doesn't help the situation and other countries will think twice where they keep their reserves

Incorrect. The intelligence sharing is nothing new and has been going on since the start of the War in 2022. A New York Times article back in April showed we have been helping Ukraine with strikes inside of Russia. This is nothing new

to tell you how much trouble they are in, they recently started buying russian oil with the yuan. they had been propping up russia with dollars but now china has a dollar shortage
Yes, China is getting rid of dollars and this is by design. It is called de-dollarization and it benefits China and hurts America and the dollar.
"CHINA’S LEADERS sense an epic opportunity. President Donald Trump’s erratic trade policy, gaping fiscal deficits and threats to the independence of America’s Federal Reserve risk badly hurting the dollar. It has slumped 7% on a trade-weighted basis since January, and had its worst start to a year since 1973. By contrast, China’s tightly controlled currency, the yuan, has reached its highest level since Mr Trump was re-elected in November. Foreign investors are piling in. So are many governments looking for dollar alternatives."

:lol: Just like I thought, you have no answer because your statement makes absolutely no sense. If we could have easily solved this problem, it would have been solved back in 2010 when the U.S. Energy department acknowledged it was a huge problem and risk.

If that was the case it would have been done years ago. Especially during Trump's first term. So why didn't we solve this problem years ago when everyone said it was a problem? Your logic is not adding up, so I would love to hear your answer on why this long known problem and weakness was not addressed years ago

They're valued at $500 billion having never made a profit. Even their chairman admits "we're in a bubble and a lot of people will lose a lot of money."
The Circular Money Game
Nvidia invests $100 billion in OpenAI, who uses it to buy Nvidia chips. Meta borrows $26 billion for a data center the size of Manhattan. Companies that previously mined crypto are now AI infrastructure plays. This isn't investment, it's musical chairs with trillion-dollar price tags.
The Returns Don't Exist
MIT found 95% of organizations saw zero return on AI investments. Harvard and Stanford discovered employees use AI to create "workslop" that looks productive but accomplishes nothing, costing millions in lost productivity. OpenAI needs customers willing to pay $2,000 monthly subscriptions to justify valuations. For chatbots.
The Infrastructure Fantasy
Bain calculates AI companies need $2 trillion annual revenue by 2030 but will fall $800 billion short. The power requirements alone are impossible. Stargate's first data center in Texas would need multiple nuclear reactors we don't have. We're promising infrastructure that physically cannot exist.
China Just Showed the Risk
DeepSeek's release triggered a trillion-dollar selloff in one day. Nvidia dropped 17% when China proved they could build competitive AI for a fraction of the cost. Markets immediately rallied back, classic bubble behavior where bad news becomes buying opportunities until it doesn't.
My Take
When Sam Altman admits "we're missing something quite important" after hyping GPT-5, when 95% of companies see no ROI, when the financing becomes circular, and when insiders acknowledge the bubble while participating, we're at peak euphoria.
This makes dot-com look rational. At least websites could scale infinitely. AI needs physical infrastructure we cannot build, power grids that don't exist, and customers willing to pay thousands monthly for technology that currently generates "workslop."
The smartest money is already hedging. The rest are hoping to sell to a greater fool before the music stops."
