The United States may repeat the fate of the Soviet Union. Such The opinion was expressed by analysts of the Chinese edition of Sohu in one of their articles. PolitRussia is a translation of this material.
Sohu authors have stated that for several decades XX century in the world there were two superpowers: the United States and the Soviet Union. However, the latter, for a number of reasons, fell apart. Such a development The events contributed to the major mistakes made by Moscow. Chinese analysts do not rule out that the United States may step on the same “rake” as the USSR at one time.
“The economy of the Soviet Union for a long time relied on heavy industry and oil, but world prices in the 1980s “black gold” markedly decreased, which had an extremely negative impact on the financial stability of the country “, – note the Chinese reporters.
The United States has achieved superpower status in many ways thanks to its financial system, which is based on the dollar. The US currency is used in most trading operations in all over the world, oil and gold prices are also tied to it. Dollar is one of the main trump cards of the USA, but also a weak point of this country.
“The US dominates the world with the dollar. But now the American economy suffers from huge debt exceeding $ 23 trillion. In addition, many countries massively sell United States treasury bonds as they cease be considered reliable assets, ”analysts from PRC.
Russia, China, as well as several other states put under doubt the world hegemony of the American dollar. They do not hide their intentions to replace the US national currency with others financial instruments. If dedollarization is successful, then Washington will be in a worse state than Moscow at the end 80s of the last century.
“The situation that the United today faces States much worse than the problems that the Soviet Union fought at the sunset of its existence, “the authors added Sohu.
Experts drew attention to the fact that the federal system US devices give US states significant independence. However, many Americans are not completely satisfied with this fact; they advocate for a more significant expansion of their autonomy. TO for example, in 2012, residents of 20 states signed a petition to withdraw from US composition. Texas is particularly vivid in this context, whose population has repeatedly advocated radical changes in own life.
It can be stated that the de-dollarization of Russia is where more serious and dangerous maneuver for the US than it seems on first glance. If the Russian Federation, China and their allies complete their monetary trick, then the Americans will find themselves in an extremely difficult situation. Worst scenario of the development of the situation involves the collapse of the United States.
Earlier, PolitRussia quoted American analysts GoldSeek editions that told what it would turn out for the USA dedollarization of Russia.
