The press reports that trade wars have begun:<\/p>\n

You see, America has the world\u2019s biggest trade deficit, debt, central bank, economy, reserve currency, global payment system (SWIFT), military. \u201cI got all the cards. I win, they all lose.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDespite China’s claims to the contrary, the placement of anti-ship missiles, surface-to-air missiles and electronic jammers across the South China Sea is tied directly to military use for the purposes of intimidation and coercion,” said Defense Secretary<\/a>, General \u201cMad Dog\u201d Mattis, our greatest military strategist, quietly running America\u2019s entire foreign policy.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s Gen He Lei responded<\/a>, \u201cAny irresponsible comments from other countries cannot be accepted. As long as it is on your own territory you can deploy the army and you can deploy weapons.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are consequences that will continue to come home to roost if China does not act more transparently and cooperatively in the region,\u201d<\/strong> continued Defense Secretary Mattis. And then pivoting to Beijing\u2019s strategic Belt and Road initiative, Mad Dog warned of \u201cmuch larger consequences in the future when nations lose the rapport of their neighbors, when they believe that piling mountainous debts on their neighbors and somehow removing the freedom of political action is the way to engage with them<\/strong>.\u201d https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2018-06-03\/eric-peters-global-trade-war-america-has-all-cards<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Donald Trump and others can hope that the USA has all the control here.<\/p>\n

And in the short run, that is true in a sense.<\/p>\n

But, the world is taking steps to bypass the USA dollar as well as to develop military capacities.<\/p>\n

As far as bypassing the USA dollar, a reader sent me a link to the following:<\/p>\n

China\u2019s Petro-yuan \u201cBecomes Real\u201d: India Joins International Group Dumping US Dollars in Oil Trades to Bypass US Sanctions<\/h2>\n

W<\/span>hen\u00a0Donald Trump<\/strong>\u2019s administration\u00a0decided to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, the goal was to partner with allies to push Iran to negotiate a new agreement through even tougher sanctions.\u00a0<\/em> …<\/p>\n

World leaders in Asia and Europe, in particular, are reasonably sure that\u00a0Washington\u00a0really wants to see the collapse of the Iranian regime in order to control oil flows.<\/p>\n

This was an arrogant miscalculation by Washington used to bullying its way around the geopolitical chessboard. … the \u201cpetroyuan\u201d\u00a0became real and China set out to\u00a0challenge the \u201cpetrodollar\u201d<\/a>\u00a0for dominance. …<\/p>\n

India will reportedly pay for Iranian oil in rupees as the two countries seek to\u00a0bypass<\/a>\u00a0the US economic pressure on Tehran.<\/p>\n

China is the world\u2019s\u00a0biggest<\/a>\u00a0buyer of oil. America is the second and India is the third. Whilst the USA buys about $110 billion of oil each year \u2013 China and India combined \u2013 buys nearly $200 billion. The EU including Britain buys another $200 billion.<\/p>\n

On oil trades \u2013 America is outgunned by the combined weight of its competitors.<\/p>\n

These moves will not cause the USD to crash as\u00a0about 88\u00a0per cent\u00a0of the average daily turnover of foreign exchange instruments is against the dollar.<\/p>\n

It took the US dollar nearly a century to unsettle the British pound that had been enjoying its preeminence through the 19th century and the first half of the 20th as the global reserve currency.<\/p>\n

However, Washington may well be reeling from the fact that they don\u2019t really have many friends any more.<\/p>\n

The loosening of the U.S.-Europe transatlantic alliance is now forcing the EU to find its feet as a more independent superpower. The EU has new, economically driven allies on its side and America is facing even more challenges as it attempts to flex muscle and push back \u2013 no doubt starting with an escalating trade war. 06\/02\/18 https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/india-joins-international-group-dumping-us-dollars-in-oil-trades-to-bypass-us-sanctions\/5642875<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The USA dollar is NOT about to collapse.<\/p>\n

Plus, it tends to take time to replace a reserve currency.<\/p>\n

Yet, consider that China and India are the two most populous nations on the planet.<\/p>\n

Plus. Iran, Syria, Venezuela, North Korea, Russia, the EU, and parts of Africa are looking to bypass the USA dollar,<\/p>\n

This will not end well for the USA.<\/p>\n

Can you see what is happening?<\/p>\n

The USA will one day NOT be the dominant economic power in the world. Its debt (cf. Habakkuk 2:6-8) and pushing Europe to spend more on its military will result in the destruction of the USA (Cf. Daniel 11:39).<\/p>\n

More and more nations are aligning against the USA and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies.<\/p>\n

Notice an item from the German press:<\/p>\n

Europe must be ready to find new economic partners in Asia when the president destroys the existing world economic order. (Riegert B. The EU has to stand up to Donald Trump. Deutsche Welle, January 31, 2017)<\/p>\n

US President Trump\u2019s statements to the United Nations about trade and \u201cAmerica first\u201d on September 19, 2017, further told parts of the world that the US wants to change trade practices in ways that many nations do not believe will be beneficial\u2014and this helps open the door for the European Union<\/p>\n

Additionally, European leaders have stated that they no longer want \u2018subservience\u2019 to the USA and want to put \u201cEurope first\u201d (in contrast to the \u201cAmerica first\u201d campaign slogan that Donald Trump has used).<\/p>\n

The Europeans warned that the US sanctions bill could lead to a trade war\u2014a trade war some EU leaders claimed that Europe would win.<\/p>\n

While nations do not normally economically \u2018win\u2019 a trade war, political leaders have found them helpful for a variety of reasons.<\/p>\n

Trade issues are important and consistent with end time biblical prophecies.<\/p>\n

Events in the USA and Europe are aligning with the understanding of biblical prophecy that we in the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> hold and teach.<\/p>\n

We in the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> \u201chave also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts\u201d (2 Peter 1:19, KJV).\u201d<\/p>\n
