you really even gotta ask that question ?

Is there a worldwide run on the Bank of the United States of America?

"In talking this week with a friend about the United States seemingly imploding from within across multiple sectors, my friend stressed: “It’s not just from within. There is a run on the United States from certain nations and business interests around the world. Just like there was a run on banks after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, many nations are either thinking about — or actually proceeding with — transferring at least a portion of their allegiance, assets and commitments from the ‘Bank of the U.S.’ to the ‘Bank of China’ or elsewhere.”

(

(Seemingly imploding?

Brother there aint no:

SEEMINGLY

about it.

Using our currency as a weapon?

Definitely backfired.)

"This was not just some person sitting on a porch casually talking about current events while whittling a stick waiting for his Social Security or pension check to hit the mailbox. This was a former high-level U.S. government official, now a CEO, someone who sits on the boards of directors for multiple companies. He has massive real-world and business experience and believes the United State may be on the verge of collapse.

(May be?

our adversaries are gonna make sure of it.)

"Some fear the Biden administration is losing control of our southern border; losing control of our decaying, crime-infested big cities; creating a recession; vilifying and needlessly destroying the fossil fuel industry while pushing suspect and subsidized “green” energy alternatives; leaving tens of billions of dollars in military equipment in Afghanistan while withdrawing our troops and abandoning an ally; stepping closer to a trip-wire in the Ukraine war, which could trigger a nuclear strike; turning on Israel over ideological issues as Turkey and others call on Arab and Muslim nations to unite and crush the Jewish State; weakening our military with one “woke” edict after another; focusing on “trans” issues at the expense of failing transportation infrastructure; cheerleading the social justice warrior takeover of our colleges and universities; and weakening the dollar (the currency much of the world depends upon).

(And were no where even close to:

Matthew 24:21

For then there will be great distress,

unequaled from the beginning of the world until now

—and never to be equaled again.

yet.)

"Is it any wonder, then, that nations such as France, India, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Mexico, Brazil and others are suddenly hedging their bets by looking beyond the United States of America for partnerships and stability?

(BRICS)

"On top of those problems, our allies and certain foreign corporations now have the legitimate concern of wondering what between them and the United States will be kept private and secure, in light of the massive and reportedly deliberate leak of classified Pentagon documents."

(There aint nothin can be kept private anymore, not with the Russians so embedded in our networks.)

"Who is an ally or foreign business partner to trust? More importantly, in the eyes of some of these nations and foreign business interests, who will prove to be the more stable and dependable partner in the coming years and decades?"

(My son said it best years ago:

"When the choice is between two authoritarian regimes?

Countries are gonna go with the one on the upswing, 

not the one on a downward trajectory."

My dad had a lil prophetic gift at times.

Must run in the family or something :-).

"In an example of a world leader hedging his bets, French President Emmanuel Macron recently traveled to Beijing to meet with China’s President Xi Jinping. Macron did not travel alone. He brought along Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission. Some saw this as Macron advertising that much of the European Union was with him in spirit as he met with Xi."

(It had to be the French first right?

I mean makes prefect sense.

We rescued their asses twice and now he is the first to go China?

And takes the head of the European Commission with him.

Snobby smelly cheese eating f*#@$.

That wasn't all he was right about either:

But then we couldn't have had the cold war and the massive arms race that followed.

Are you seeing the bouncing ball a lil more clearly now?)

"On his way back to France after the meeting, Macron emphasized that Europeans should not be “just America’s followers” and “get caught up in crises that are not ours.” Even though the French leader seemed to be spelling it out in 100-font, one could read between the lines and assume he meant not getting dragged too deeply into the Ukraine war or defending Taiwan, should China invade. The last part was music to the ears of China’s strongman, Xi."

(It's not just that our adversaries are out to do us in.

Our allies are running away from us as well.

Amos 5:19

New International Version

19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion

    only to meet a bear,

as though he entered his house

    and rested his hand on the wall

    only to have a snake bite him.)

"Next, we have Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador openly criticizing — and challenging — the leadership of the United States for months, by calling the U.S. an “oligarchy, not a real democracy.” He threatened to sabotage calls for U.S. military action against Mexican cartels, and has made it clear that he is not afraid to pick a fight with what he may see as a United States in decline."

(It is.

"calling the U.S. an “oligarchy, not a real democracy".

it's not "becoming" one.

It is one.)

"Or, last month’s news that Saudi Arabia was inching closer to joining a China-led Asian security and economic bloc, after having been granted the status of a dialogue partner in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Aside from China and Russia, the bloc also includes India, Pakistan and some ex-Soviet states. It’s an organization  one might view as not always having the best interests of the United States in mind.

One is an accident:

France's Macron

Two is a trend:

Mexican President López

Three is a pattern:

Saudi Arabia

(Where is my statistician buddy :-).

"Finally, we have Brazil — China’s most important trading partner in South America — announcing a new agreement to conduct bilateral commerce in their respective currencies, rather than the U.S. dollar. The move not only shocked many in the U.S. government but opened the eyes of others around the world to the possibility of decoupling from the dollar."

(The collapse of the $ aint gonna be some thirty year thing like people are telling you it's going to be...And just like the rich-dad poor-dad author (and Peter Schiff, and me and some others) says? When all these pallets of t-bills and $'s start coming back home? You aint seen inflation yet somebody been telling you... and besides, fear God alone, not inflation, not China, not Russia...FEAR GOD.)

"Some believe these things are happening because a growing number of political and business leaders around the world now lack confidence in the United States, believing our country truly is in disarray, decline and increasingly polarized and politicized."

(Are we not just exactly that?)
