    Not understanding that having the world reserve currency effects our economy is the rule rather than the exception.

    This article talks about some of the simpler aspects of having the WRC but, its a good place to start.

    I can already see fallacies in it.

    USA depends on the fact that others follow it. And that breaks apart. Germany and the EU as a whole break away from USA. Russia does as well and so does China.

    Economically - you are very wrong. The basis for USD being a reserve currency - pretty much everyone buys and uses a lot of things in their daily lives, so everyone needs USD. Just because some country stops using USD to trade oil won’t change that fact.

    This can change quickly. More and more countries start to switch to Euro and Yuan.

    Americans have a big problem. They dont understand that nothing is eternal. US global influence shrinks. They have to get used to be only one of many.

    You still don’t get it. The trade currency doesn’t matter as long as there is demand for US goods and services. Can you abandon your smartphone, tablet, laptop, PC, smart TV, internet and pretty much everything associated with it?

    Nothing. All they represent is half-slave factory labor. When you pay for, let’s say, Intel, the US gets the money, not China. The US company just paid Chinese half-slaves their wages at the time of assembling the goods. Therefore, China has nothing.

    Wrong.
    For example, Intel can switch from China to India. The technology will stay with Intel, all Chinese can do is copy old technology.

    And thats where you are wrong? Do you know how Germany became the leading power in engineering?

    In the late 19th century we copied british products. We did it so much thatbthe british invented the label made in germany to blackmail. Obviously our quality and price was better and we pushed them out of the market.

    You depend on a system.

    We did a similar thing with your F35. Last year Germany faked interest in buying 150 F35. Your stupid officials believed that **** and send evrything, even classified data. When we had evrything we cancelled and announced that we build our own stealth fighter.

    Your officials are stupid.

    There never should have been sanctions to begin with. As awful as Trump his stupidity has forced many of our allies to defy us which they should have done years ago, especially when Bush was invading Iraq.

    What a joke of a post. Who taught you what an argument is ?

    An argument contains 2 things 1) a statement of claim and 2) some evidence or rational for why that claim is true.

    Twirling around crying "fallacy fallacy" is not an argument for anything. What from the article was fallacy.

    Go away .. please.

    Deflection.
    Just say you can’t argue and all you got is uneducated crap.
    Just admit that you are wrong.

    I am not the one that posted "I can already see the fallacies" with no further comment on what those fallacies were and why.

    That is as uneducated of a response as it gets.

    Whatever.
    You posted a quote without a source. You got nothing.
    You are ignorant.

    What difference does the source make ? It is the information that is important. Are you sad that you can not engage in Ad hom fallacy - and attack the messenger rather than address the content ?

    I am not the one twirling around crying "fallacy fallacy" but then not even stating what that fallacy is and demonizing me for being uneducated.

    The most uneducated thing a person can do is make a claim "fallacy" but, then give no support for this claim.

    This is basic playground name calling.

    Don't blame me for your lack of ability to make an argument or form a coherent post.

    The difference is huge. Quoting someone with a Down syndrome doesn’t add credibility to your post.
    The fact that you posted a quote without a source indicates that you are embarrassed to post whose crap you read.
    Sorry, but it still stands true - you are ignorant and can’t prove your own claims. Sorry, I just don’t like pretenders. You are an empty bottle.
    Good night!

    You asked for an explanation of how the World reserve currency effects our economy. I cited from an article explaining exactly that.

    You then responded "Fallacy" - without saying what you thought from the article was fallacy - which is a joke and itself fallacy. You then tried to attack the source -rather than respond to the message which is also fallacy.

    Then you call me ignorant ? I laugh in your general direction.

    I gave you the link - so quit stating falsehoods by saying that I did not provide the source.

    https://goldiraguide.org/the-benefit-of-having-the-worlds-reserve-currency/

    There are whole bunch of other links if you had bothered to do an google search. It is not some big secret that the WCR has an impact on our economy and benefits us.

    The reality is that you have no idea how the WCR affects us because you have never looked into the issue .. yet you pretend you are some expert.

    And don’t you dare challenging someone’s education and skills in the future!
    You are a nobody who reads opinion pieces and posts them as a backup for personal opinion as facts! If your brain can’t comprehend things like world economy and the role of the USD then just don’t pretend to be someone who knows things. Otherwise I will always be there to spank your ignorant behind.
    Good night!

    What in the article do you disagree with. You are ranting and raving "Total BS, Crap and so on" but not saying what you think is crap.

    How can I prove any claim if you have not stated what claim you want proved? What from the article do you think is false ?

    You running around in a circle crying "NO NO NO" and then throwing out insults is not proof of anything.
