"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Speaking at the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party last month, Xi Jinping delivered what Western analysts are calling an "incendiary speech" in which he called for a military union with Russia that would render NATO "powerless" and "put an end to the imperialist desires of the West."

"The world is on the verge of radical change," said the increasingly frustrated Chinese President. "We see how the European Union is gradually collapsing, as is the US economy – it is all over for the new world order."

Rallying support among his countrymen, Xi Jinping declared "it will never be as it was before, in 10 years we will have a new world order in which the key will be the union of China and Russia."

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

China's economy isn't doing so hot, either, and that is assuming they are not cooking the books and lying more than usual. China sells cheap crap to the US. If we can't buy their crap, then someone else has to. Russia doesn't have the money to step in to take our place as consumers of all that crap. The two of them together are a formidable military power, but not much of an economic power. That economic disadvantage would slowly erode them over time, so then the only wise choice for them would to be to start a war right away and win it.

The Chinese economy is not as depend on trade with the U.S. as you think. This is not the 1990's anymore. Exports to the U.S. make up about 7% of China's GDP. Today, the number one consumers of cheap Chinese crap are the Chinese themselves. Plus, the U.S. cannot simply stop buying Chinese imports. Due to outsourcing, America no longer has the industrial base to manufacture most types of consumer goods.

China is the largest export economy in the world and the 37th most complex economy according to the Economic Complexity Index (ECI). In 2014, China exported $2.37T and imported $1.53T, resulting in a positive trade balance of $834B.
They are the largest export economy in the world. And...

The top export destinations of China are the United States ($432B),Hong Kong ($258B), Japan ($166B), Germany ($101B) and South Korea($88.9B).
Their top export destination is the United States.

The top exports of China are Computers ($208B), Broadcasting Equipment ($157B), Telephones ($107B), Integrated Circuits ($61.5B) and Office Machine Parts ($46.9B),
Going to war with the U.S. would be very bad for business.

BUT what China and Russia ARE trying very hard to do is come up with a monetary system other than the dollar.

They don't want to bomb each other, and they NEED to keep trading with each other. BUT they want to use money other than the dollar to do so.

Hence all the BFF pics of Putin and Jinping

Gold Backed Russian Ruble, Chinese Yuan Primed To Destroy U.S. Dollar As Global Reserve Currency

“In 2014 Russia and China signed two mammoth 30-year contracts for Russian gas to China. The contracts specified that the exchange would be done in Renminbi [yuan] and Russian rubles, not in dollars. That was the beginning of an accelerating process of de-dollarization that is underway today,” strategic risk consultant F. William Engdahl writes in his article for New Eastern Outlook.

Russia and China are now creating a new paradigm for the world economy and paving the way for a global de-dollarization.

“A Russian-Chinese alternative to the dollar in the form of a gold-backed ruble and gold-backed Renminbi or yuan, could start a snowball exit from the US dollar, and with it, a severe decline in America’s ability to use the reserve dollar role to finance her wars with other peoples’ money,” Engdahl concludes.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

What are you going to use to heat your house in the winter? Where are you going to get it from? I bet you are going to get a credit and buy some gas from Russia. Speaking of your debt, it's enormous, how are you going to pay it off?
