🇺🇸❌🇺🇸💸Reflections on Hubris and the Looming Extinction of the Fiat Dollar as Reserve.

As we reflect on Trump’s bluster about imposing 100% tariffs on BRICS nations for daring to chart a course away from the dollar, perhaps he should direct his attention to a more pressing concern: the numbers staring us all in the face. More than $36 trillion national debt and over $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities. A debt-to-GDP ratio exceeding 123%, built on a fiat Ponzi scheme so reckless it makes Monopoly money look like a sound investment.

The U.S. dollar wasn’t dethroned by BRICS. It was undermined from within, betrayed by unchecked money printing, inflation, and weaponized sanctions wielded like a cudgel against half the globe. A dollar depended upon credibility as a means of exchange suicided itself. This isn’t the cunning of a financial hegemon; it’s the flailing of a system that abused its own credibility until none was left. A “mighty” dollar? No, a cursed relic, unraveling under the weight of its creators' hubris.

And while Trump clings to his empty threats, the BRICS markets are rapidly growing, expanding into the future with dynamism and opportunity. In stark contrast, the U.S. market... when adjusted for real inflation is shrinking, bleeding vitality with every misstep and every policy blunder. This isn’t checkers, Donnie, and it’s certainly not Texas hold ’em, where you can bluff your way out of a terrible hand. You’ve got to think a few moves aheadand right now, it’s painfully clear that Washington has no endgame, only doubling down on monetary suicide.

100% tariffs on BRICS? Not a problem. In fact, the emerging economic powerhouses of BRICS+ would welcome them with reciprocal sanctions on the dwindling U.S. manufacturing sector, if it can even produce competitive goods anymore. While BRICS nations build the markets of tomorrow, America clings to its fading economic dominance like a ghost haunting the ruins of its own making.

Let’s be clear: the U.S. has chosen to play monetary-economic Darwinism, and the result will be an expedited extinction of its fiat currency. This is no external conspiracy; it is a reality authored by decades of retrograde hubris, policy blunders, and a failure to adapt to a world that no longer tolerates the weaponization of money. The dollar’s demise isn’t just probable, it’s inevitable.

Trump’s threats are hollow, as flimsy as the “mighty dollar” he claims to defend. And the rest of the world? They’ve already moved on. Economic Darwinism, indeed.

It's very 'democratic' to target journalists with firecrackers (video 1).

And someone that's probably played too much Call of Duty, so he decided to build his own rocket firework launcher (video 2).
