This chart reminds me of the 6 months leading up to recognition of the Lehman insolvency (filing required New York Fed and SIPIC approvals so absolute control over timing).
They co-located staff to asset strip markets around the world to repatriate proceeds back to Lehman International in New York to solely overcollateralise and benefit US creditors, impoverishing the rest of the world in the insolvency.
Then they gave $800 billion in Paulson Plan money to banks to buy up global assets at fire sale prices, threatening Congress with martial law.
Record bank profits from 2008 onwards.
And that’s how the game still plays.
A lot of people asked for the full AAA Mario video to be dubbed over in the same way, but I wanted to wait for a good idea to come to me. 6 months later, here it is. Focus, M.

Neutraloids be like : “we have to play both sides in this US war against the global economy! We benefit from both sides!
-On one side we get 🇨🇳 investment
-on the other side we..uhh.. not getting sanctioned by the US!”
Yeah there’s actually no benefit siding with the US
