There’s a saying: 'A weak nation has no diplomacy.' If we look back in history, how many of the wealthy and powerful nations made their first fortune honestly? Take the United States, for example. During both World Wars, it hid behind the North American continent and acted as a 'war arms supermarket.' From 1914 to 1917, just by selling weapons, it quadrupled its gold reserves. While others were bleeding out, the U.S. raised its 'peacekeeper' flag and reaped the rewards. By the end of World War II, 75% of the world’s gold was in the U.S. Federal Reserve, and soon after, they established the Bretton Woods system, making the dollar the world’s currency.
