I'd even go as far as saying the authoritarianism has a causal relation with the impending recession, the acceleration of the de-dollarization of foreign commerce, and the unavoidable collapse of the "Pax Americana" that came after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Moving to Europe is a smart move, but, having complete freedom, I'd think about someplace in the southern hemisphere. I believe Chile and Brazil will be stable for the next 20 years or so and have good overlap with US timezones. And both are quite far from most of the impending clusterfuck happening in Eastern Europe.

The US has put a certain country in charge of a certain oil strait, and also banned that country from using dollars. So anyone who wants to pass the strait has to pay using a Chinese bank transfer in Chinese yuan. This is speedrunning the end of the petrodollar.
