Which simplisticly also explains why US militarism does not vary regardless of who is in charge. Get in destabilize .. and get out.. seems to be the doctrine of the times.. As always follow the money.. But on a much higher level than which individual joe or company is profiting.. Your layer comments are salient and apply to all camps.. One can get through a layer and not realise. It is just one layer.. I am thinking of the intonation from Frank Herbert's Dune. *This is like single combat, Son, only on a larger scale—a feint within a feint within a feint… seemingly without end." (6.32)*

I would expand that a bit to say printing to pay off debt denominated in your own currency (or just to spend) is not so risky as long as you don't print faster than the reserve currency. (IE coordinate your printing with the reserve currency.) And I think that has been what is going on now for some time. US prints, everybody follows, keep a lid on gold, currency controls when needed, and everybody is happy. I mean, its hard for a flight to quality to start when there is so few good stores of value and the propaganda machine constantly attacks anything that threatens to start a flight.
