Is China set to junk the global dollar hegemony?

... trade ties and defence technology transfers – a causal bonanza which modern India woefully ignored in its strategic calculus.     Ultimately, the RIC (Russia, India and China) nations may "weaponize" their gold holdings to ring-fence the Greater Eurasian economy from surging exogenous risks.

... War. Hardly any mainstream Western writer or geopolitical expert is gaming out a worst-case scenario that eerily parallels Erdogan’s Pan-Turkic/Neo-Ottoman fantasies which stretch from the Balkans to Xinjiang – right through the heart of Greater Eurasia.

... modified contours, exacerbated by the trifecta of EU failures in its immigration, economic and foreign policies. Eastern Europe refuses to drown with its Western half in that cesspit of totalitarian multiculturalism, and will inevitably gravitate towards Greater Eurasia. The West-facilitated Nazification of Ukraine and the Baltic nations is not going to stop this process. Samuel P.
