>a post-industrial economy grows through increased productivity per worker, not having more workers.
No, Western economies grow on financial speculation built around the sheer number of buyers/consumers. Basically, Western economies are built around a massive financial bubble driven by global investors who see the West as either a safe-haven for their money, or the only place to invest their capital since third-world countries don't have stock markets or other financial products through which to grow their money passively. Beyond the stock market, crypto, and other ponzi-schemes, the other way to for foreigners to bring their capital to Western markets is through real-estate and tourism.

All of these financial schemes require a constantly expanding injection of capital otherwise everything collapses because none of it has any intrinsic value.

Do you even know what "wealth" is you retarded nigger? America is basically one big financial Ponzi-scheme(think crypto). This scheme is only possible because of the dollar being the world's reserve currency. If we lose the dollar, the game is over.

>So the reason is to stop the massive financial crisis that will happen in the US if the dollar thing goes down the drain?
In a very simple way, yes. America's economy is mostly financial(IE most of our economy is basically a big ponzi-scheme crypto-scam). If we lose the dollar, these "assets" could go to zero(something much worse than the Great Depression). Moreover, we would lose the massive privileges of the dollar which enables us to live far beyond our means. The $1 trillion a year trade deficit is just the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, the US dollar subsidizes the entire "West". Who would go down with us.

Furthermore, America isn't even a real country. The only thing that holds this shithole together is money. America cannot go from #1 to #2. If America was poor, it wouldn't exist. Large tracts of America are majority-Mexican. Reconquista is inevitable.

Thus, America is in an existential crisis. It must block China. But it can only block China by encircling it and cutting off its markets and resources. Which is why Russia is so crucial.

You economically-illiterate fuck. Where do you think that "sovereign wealth fund" is invested? What is the financial system anyway? How does it work?

Holy fuck you're retarded. That shit could go to zero tomorrow. It's just crypto-lite.
