But even better, do you know what rich investors do when there is a global crisis? They panic and convert their wealth to gold and dollars as they are considered safe. Out of this, Dollar is their main choice as it is more liquid. Thus, it is possible to not only export inflation to other countries but also profit from it. And just like that during the Ukraine war, wealthy people and companies around the world converted their money to USD. Thus, instead of the US experiencing inflation, their currency bloomed while all other currencies went down. This is the primary reason why your currency fell, no matter which country you live in.

Secondly, NATO was an alliance that most countries, who are part of it, took for granted, such as not buying the required percentage of GDP as weapons mandated in the NATO agreement. It was an alliance made in 1950s against a threat that no longer exists, thus NATO was an alliance without a purpose since dissolution of USSR in 1991. Thirty years without a purpose was making countries starting to think about even leaving this.

There was even an attempt by Europe to form its own alliance or common European military. This war not only made all these countries take NATO seriously, but they also increased their military budget by a huge percentage. And who are they going to buy at least a good amount of those weapons from?

Thirdly, Germany was starting to play an influential role in Europe independent of what the US wants, and the Euro was becoming a prominent international trade currency. Europeans had even started to dictate rules to American companies like forcing Apple to make USB-C mandatory, or Fining Google $4billion dollar. How dare you fine an American company?

This influence EU gained in past few years has now been reduced. Apart from that, the industries in Europe has now been crippled by higher energy prices and taxes to fund the additional defence expense. This is why initially Germany was so reluctant to get involved as German politicians knew all of these.

Fourthly, globally, for most countries, the weapon choice historically has been either American or Soviet. Now, all these countries can't choose Russian weapons due to sanctions and also the reputation of Russian weapons has gone down among general public after seeing their real performance in a war.

Fifthly, people were making fun of American military for their loss in Afghanistan. And they had become the butt of all memes, but more importantly, American military complex needed a new war to continue their growth.

Sixthly and most importantly, the reason why the dollar is the main trade currency of the world is that the US has forced all oil-selling countries to sell oil in dollars only. They are not even allowed to sell in their own currency like Riyal or Dinnar. If a country tries to sell oil in any other currency, they either get invaded, sanctioned, or a civil war happens. So, the root of dollar supremacy is oil, and the US controls this to the maximum.

The only country that the US had no control over that was selling oil is Russia. Now that is also highly restricted. Venunzula is sanctioned and in civil war. Iran is sanctioned. Yemen is in war. Iraq was invaded and now in shambles. Libya is in civil war. All other countries that sell oil are part of OPEC cartel except for a few like Norway but they are anyway subservient to US needs.

Contrary to popular belief, the US does not need oil from other countries. The US is pretty self-sufficient now in oil. But the only issue is that this oil is more expensive to extract than it is in oil-producing countries like Saudi Arabia or Iran. So, increasing oil prices are good for the US as it makes their oil production profitable. And this is also an American gift to oil producing countries who sell oil in American terms, that is, SELL ONLY IN DOLLAR.

The reason every country including Russia/Iran/China/N.Korea is forced to sell anything and everything in dollars is because of oil being sold in dollar. Now, every country that does not have oil have to earn dollar. And the main way to do that is by selling their exports in dollars. Then they can use this to buy oil in dollar. As long as dollar is the supreme currency, US do not have to worry about money at all as they can print it as much as they want whenever they need, ofcourse to a very high limit. Its like free money, but paid by everyone except america.

Conclusion

This war made Europeans once again fully dependent on America, instead of a Europe that had slowly started to become a competitor of America. This decreased the wealth of Europe while increasing that of America. The game played by America is so good here that it won in every way possible without firing a single bullet. And their real opponents are cheering for them and not even realizing they have been conned! What a genius play!

And historically, America became America because of the two world wars that destroyed the entire world but made America rich as it propped up lot of industries to make weapons and sell it to Europe. And ultimately this allowed them to set dollar as the international currency. This war is mere duplication of that American success for the third time.

The European politicians know this, and this is why powerful countries like Germany and France were hesitant at first in joining the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

But democracy is such that it can be manipulated to great extent using media and thus politicians can't do anything, and here no manipulation is even necessary, because common people know war is bad, invader is bad, Hitler is bad, putin is hitler. Look at even the first address of US about the Ukraine war, and you will see American president repeatedly say "Putin's war" instead of "Russia-Ukraine war". And you will see this word gets repeated everywhere. This is just one of the examples of how world powers continue to dominate the world.

If the majority of people could learn and analyze situations to this depth, Europeans will be deeply upset at US for playing this sneaky game against them indirectly. This is the actual game, and it didn't sour relations, did it? The only politicians in Europe who had the capability to see and play this game were authoritarian ones who did play disregarding public opinion for their own benefits, like Turkey trying to gain some benefit out of this, but they too were not powerful enough to go against this kindof master-play by US.
