Economic Warfare

[Fabius Maximus]

At to Tom Clancy and his discussion of an attack on the dollar isnt' that based on stuff that happened in the 70's repackaged?

Great point! The 1970's saw the forequakes of global peak oil production; the real thing will likely occur sometime in the next 20 years (today, perhaps). The 1970's saw the first great US dollar crisis, foreshadowing the real thing which lies in our future (today, perhaps).

The 1970's were a difficult decade for America. And the next few years...

The geopolitical implications of this could be immense. The great emerging powers will certainly take advantage of any weaknesses in America's power.
