As the US withdraws its forces from Afghanistan, it is certain that the U.S., which never understood the country, is leaving it in a much worse state than when it began its intervention 40 years ago.
In this wide-ranging discussion, Hudson addresses U.S. sanctions on Venezuela and Iran, the policies of the Joe Biden administration, Beijing’s economic model, cryptocurrencies, and dedollarization–the potential end to the dollar as the global reserve currency.
If the world, and the USA, are to implement their plans for a green energy future, Washington and Beijing have no option but to cooperate. Otherwise, they can revert to the oil wars of the past. On an already overheating planet, that would lead to a civilizational fate worse than death.
