“The colossal mistake, however, that was made and very unironically given what is going on in today's day and age was for the very first time the Obama administration made the cognizant choice to weaponize the US dollar through the cutting off of the Swift network to the Iranian um economy. And that was also existential to the Chinese given their economic model”
