Comment on Brazilian president: US surveillance a 'breach of international law'parent

Comments

No one is in a position to tell US to "stick it", so no.

Of course we are.

A good start would be if a bunch of countries got together and stopped using a USD.

Also changing trade deals with the US would send a message.

Yeah, except it's pretty much a given that all govt's who can spy do spy as much as they can on each other, overtly and covertly.

She's just using this to foment fervor in her favor.

Who cares if other countries use the RMB or Euro as trade currency. And no country with significant trade with any other is going to commit economic self-inflicted wounds to "send a message". The US doesn't retaliate economically against any significant partner itself, neither does China. It'd be silly.

More reasons to use Bitcoin.
