''I did not say all this will happen now'' Of course you didn't , but you think anything will happen in the next 5 years? ''Only a "one-eyed person" would say that all is well with us in the West right now and that we have a rosy future. FYI, we are in a lot of trouble'' Oh dear , I would have expected you to have stayed on track with the actual argument for a bit longer. Hard to argue with that statement , but thankyou FYI . You are obviously a deep thinker , what it had to do with the mechanics of supplanting the US dollar as the predominant trade currency , I struggle to see. It could explain a desire to change it , but if wishes were fishes..............
