If the petrodollar fails that's exactly what's going to happen. The rest of the world won't miss the opportunity to hamstring the US during their moment of weakness and ensure they turn into an insular, regional isolationist power. It'll be well deserved too...

The petrodollar will fail. It's a certainty now that it will happen soon, historically speaking.
Yeah I agree with you there. It's going to be a free for all once that happens...
Anything else on your wish list? Just curious.
I guess that you have to live outside the US to see what a scary man-baby it is. If a country has all the power in the world, and then decides that rules don't apply to them, it quite a short step to wishing that they would fail and leave the rest of us alone. The delusion is that they have adopted the world cop role. The reality is that they are the world bully.
It's an interesting question for the pseudo-communist progressives attached to the democratic party: are they really the kind of people who would be in charge of a communist North America? They don't look Mexican, Black, or Native American to me. I'm not an identity essentialist but the way they're attached to white political & intellectual apparatuses proves it's not serious before you even get to discussing tactics.
