Article is paywalled by the way, but you get the jist from the first paragraphs anyway, “oh no, we can’t subdue the US’s enemies, ahem, i mean “authoritarian enemies of democracy” through unilateral coercive measures, sorry, “sanctions” anymore, blah, blah, blah…”.
I like how they think that an economy in which the US isn’t dominant is a “shadow” one.
it’s tax evasion under article “where’s my money, huh, where’s my fucking money?!” of the world american tax code…
I mean kind of makes sense that wasps would see the economy that the global majority participates in as the shadow economy, while the one dominated by the western minority as the glorious legitimate economy.
With all of the sanctions it is imposing, the western bloc is actually the one quickly making itself into the shadow economy of the world. The rest of the world will go on trading with each other and rising up while the West chooses to isolate itself further and further in its stagnant bubble of “freedom and democracy and rules based order”.
The US is doing it’s best to emancipate the world from the US dollar. It’s great witnessing what no dialectics does to mfers.
The current US regime are unintentional accelerationists 💣 💣 💣
It’s called Harm Reduction
