Europe May Fold, but China and Russia See Opportunity<\/a><\/h3>\n

And we recently discovered, if it was not known before, that no amount of power can withstand the hatred of the many.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Although European leaders are talking a big game about keeping the Iran deal (JCPOA) alive following Trump\u2019s unilateral withdrawal, there\u2019s a good chance nations across the pond, especially the UK and France, will ultimately fold to U.S. demands. This is despite the fact these countries stand to lose far more economically than America. Acquiescing to U.S. imperial demands as submissive client states is simply what Europe does. On the other hand, China and Russia sense opportunity for major geopolitical gains and will not back down.<\/p>\n

Political leaders in China and Russia must be licking their chops at the short-sighted stupidity of Donald Trump\u2019s decision to ditch the Iran deal. As mentioned in previous pieces, the Trump administration isn\u2019t just saying the U.S. will sanction Iran from its end, but that it could leverage the global financial system and its dependency on the USD, to punish those who dare defy U.S. policy.<\/p>\n

As discussed in the recent post,\u00a0The Road to 2025 (Part 3) \u2013 USD Dominated Financial System Will Fall Apart<\/a><\/strong>, this unilateral move against Iran is likely to be a key catalyst in the planet transitioning away from a financial system completely and totally dominated by the USD into a more multi-polar currency world. Trump\u2019s essentially willing to trade away U.S. global geopolitical and financial dominance because he\u2019s obsessed with taking out the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n

While Europe may not be willing to make a huge fuss about all this right now, its leaders, and more importantly its citizenry, know exactly what this means. As long as the global financial system is totally dominated and controlled from the U.S. via the USD, no country on earth can be truly sovereign, in terms of economic or foreign policy.<\/p>\n
