unsurprising as this trend is seeing popularity in south america as well as other countries the US deems of ill repute. Frankly im convinced this is the quiet death of Kissinger era soft power, the American monetary policy cudgel.

The US currently sanctions monetarily ten percent of the financial world. If you take into account various chinese sanctions, its easily more than this.

when your country racks up yearly multi-trillion dollar debts and expects other countries to continue financing them amidst such sanctions it tends to betray a certain disconnect and highlight the delineation between the political class and the capital class. Politicians have taken a very serious tool and run wild with it like a child with a pocket knife to such an extent over forty years that i think most players have simply had their fill of fair-weather ethical discourse from the land of the free.
