here's how mexico became hostage to us trade - a story of economic dependency ↓
Mexico is the most dependent country, with nearly 80% of all its exported goods purchased by the US.
Before the original free trade agreement of NAFTA with the US and Canada, trade represented 10% of Mexico's economy.

Brazil is in negotiations with Mexico and Colombia to publish a joint statement demanding that Venezuela count all votes and release ballot records from each precinct, according to two Brazilian government officials familiar with the matter. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @bpolitics
This says as much about the growing clout of emerging markets as it does about the end of the US as a superpower.
This is the Great Global Reconvergence, whereby emerging markets now account for almost 60% of Global GDP, according to the @IMFNews
@GGRCouncil @Goldenslicehq
What this means is the END of the USA as a Super Power.
This story should be the top story on every newscast & front page headline of every newspaper, but it’s not even being talked about just like it wasn’t talked about when the petrodollar was propping up the American economy.
Every country in the world holds huge amounts of U.S. dollars cuz of the petrodollar.
There are more $100 bills in Russia than there are in the USA. That was because of the Petrodollar. This is all going away and there is going to be a precipitous drop of the value of the U.S. dollar.
This is bigger than most people can grasp , mostly cuz the petrodollar was never explained to them in the first place.
This means soon the U.S. dollar will no longer be the reserve currency of the world and that will spark a great depression inside the U.S. that we can’t print money to fix.
All these kind of calamities were supposed to happen under Trump , where our old friends stopped working with us and the world turned against the U.S.
Of course this is all happening precisely because of the neo-con policies of war & sanctions that Biden has implemented & the media has cheered on.
You won’t be told about this on the corporate news anytime soon, and when it finally is discussed they won’t tell you the truth about it & certainly won’t tell you what actually caused it to happen.
It’s now kind of too late for a revolution to fix this country.

LatAm FX is a bloodbath since Mexico's election. It makes sense for Mexican Peso to weaken, since it was substantially overvalued in the run-up to the election. But it makes no sense to me why there is contagion to the Colombian Peso or Brazilian Real. No overvaluation there...

Africa says bye to the US dollar. The President of Kenya, @WilliamsRuto, urges African nations to dump USD under tumultuous applause. With every nation that rejects USD as reserve currency the US Govt will pay a higher price for printing money (inflation).

Alarming development in #Peru: President Castillo announces “temporary” dissolution of Congress & imposes a state of exception. History repeats itself, first as tragedy then as farce, as Marx famously quipped, but the loser in either case is democracy and human rights. @WOLA_org

The tables have turned. Emerging markets like Brazil and Mexico are year-to-date outperforming G10 currencies against the Dollar. This is a big pivot in global markets that's unprecedented. EM monetary policy is these days more orthodox than in advanced economies. Well done EM...
