Thank you Qwen QwQ for being actually pretty good at writing python code so I don't have to.

Sharing so y'all can have your own sovereign shitlist.

I know there's so much written about this already, but it will not be consequence-free to make it extremely obvious to the whole world that the US's privileged place in the world is a shitty deal for them. They kind of have to take the deal, for the time being, but now they'll be very motivated to get out of it. VERY motivated.

Kind of like SWIFT sanctions on Russia in 2022, a wake-up call. I suppose good for btc?

Most people who pay attention know about these problems. It's just not politically feasible to fix them.

Omg you are just soooo obsessed with me you silly little guy! I am sorry I cant devote my entire time to you </3

P.S. Get off your knees for BRICS its embarrassing <3
