#2This is, by far, the most important story of the decade and explains a lot of what we're seeing. The implications for the US Dollar are especially dramatic.

#3I have a hard time believing any country which requires an international bailout will get more favourable terms from the New Development Bank than the IMF, as if they did, they could just convert the yuan into dollars and be better off at China's expense. What am I missing?

This is also why the US is in the manufacturing consent stage of a war with china. China may or may not have aspirations to global imperialism, but the US certainly does. And providing economic alternatives to subservience to american interests is a direct threat to that.

#5Two of these were in a state of almost war a few months back. It's not credible as an alternative

Such a fun term to discredit popular consensus or democratic votes. "Manufactured consent", the rallying cry of failed and unpopular ideologues. But it certainly tracks that the person who coined the term is a genocide denialist for a foreign dictator.

#7The West went bonkers and due to its brainless leaders now it's lost its hegemony! People responsible for some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind to patronize the rest of the world how to change "for better" using it as a model was a total failure! I am from the Balkans, i.e. much closer to the Western culture, yet I don't like being patronized - and I can imagine how much more distant nations feel about the Western ideological, financial, and military grip! If the West wants to seed freedom around the globe, it should start with the freedom of not twisting arms and let them freely choose what's best for them and stop patronizing! And as they say - fix your backyard first!

This explains nothing. It is a side-effect of poor domestic monetary and social policies that call into question the long term stability of Western democracy.

He sure fucking is! He's incredibly shitty and racist, and will make hypocritical excuses for all kinds of horrors. That doesn't make his insights about certain aspects of US imperialism incorrect. It's a useful concept and an accurate term to describe what is happening in this context.
