    Germany should do the same, why haven’t they already?
    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/24/repatriate-the-gold-german-economists-advise-withdrawal-from-us-vaults

    USA no longer deserves to be the financial center of the world they’ve been for many years.
    Gold reserves, petro dollar, global reserve currency, and as collateral damage, the continued flood of brain power coming from around the world will stop. It will all collapse because the American population is too stupid to elect an even somewhat sensible government.

    It’s kind of sad, because the ideals USA claimed to protect were fine, it just turned out to be a lie. And now they are not even protected but are falling apart inside USA too.

    USA no longer deserves our trust, and not even our respect anymore.

      As an American I feel like I should be disputing this but all of your points are quite good.

        I were going to make a list here of just the most outrageous offenses the US has done to US allies in just the last months. But the list kept getting too long for the short witty response I wanted to make…

          What if you focus on stuff the US didn’t used to do? Because they used to do all the imperialist stuff too, just with more excuses to try justifying it (or, better secrecy).
