Yeah, so as I understand it, the US is able to have this huge trade imbalance because they can pay for their imports in currency they can print themselves, and other central banks will take the dollars because it’s the reserve currency and because petrol products are traded in dollars. It is a rather delicate balance, that allows the US to consume with unlimited credit, that will work as long as others want dollars.
I understand how other economies would like to break this relationship and get in on the putting everything on the credit card, or to break it just so that the US doesn’t have so much economic power over the world.
What I don’t understand is how an American, much less the president himself, would want this balance upset. Even as a European, I believe it’s in my economic interest that the Americans consume.
Do I have a better understanding of this than the American government??
DE Wikipedia says Masurian was a polish dialect, so you might think this was a way of disguising a polish minority as something else, but the Masurians opted German after WWI. The language was forbidden by the nazis (leopards…) and later died out as the people dispersed after WWII or were polonised.
