“Blackmail is when a country uses their own currency.” -France & Germany
The terrifying truth is Europe would rather freeze their people rather than accept any Global South currency as an official payment option.
I’m sure the European bourgeoisie are quite comfortable making such decisions knowing full well that they will never feel the cold themselves.
There was a quote stating that when landlords demand a rent increase the tenants must make a sacrifice to make ends meet, when companies declare bankruptcy the employees are laid off, when politicians start a frivolous war the soldiers must pay with their lives; then again, the common people are being used by the parasite class.
Th…That’s not blackmailing? Russia demanding to be paid for their fossil fuels in their currency isn’t blackmail. Europe’s really grasping for a reason to fight against this.
