🇺🇸For those holding their breath waiting for Trump to save the world from the US "deep state"
Recall this often forgotten episode during the first Trump administration.
Not only was Iraq wrongfully invaded and occupied, its oil revenue runs through US banks, subordinating Iraq to US dominion.
When Iraq attempted to assert sovereignty following the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, Trump threatened to cut access to Iraqi oil revenue held hostage by the US Federal Reserve.
This wasn't because of poor advice. This is how the US operates regardless of who is president. And who in Trump's new cabinet would do differently this time? Rubio? Hegseth? Bessent?
Most importantly, this highlights the real solution, the desperate and central need for multipolarism to create alternatives to ALL aspects of US hegemony, from information space to industry, and especially the US dollar and its role in trade, particularly hydrocarbons.
