theres a concept called elasticity, I doubt a weakening dollar will automatically increase exports, especially if exports is inelastic
 
doesnt china indirectly benefit through this .... increased demand...increase production ....everything or its parts made in china

Anything Dollar Denominaed becomes cheaper (fuel and other commodities being the big ones)
Anything Rand Denominated becomes more expensive (exports)

This is straight out of Trumps T1 playbook, devalue the dollar and stimulate American exports

Whether he does it intentionally or not I have no idea :ROFL:

Doesn’t Israel get something like $4B a year from the US to buy their weapons? So the US taxpayer pays. Someone always pays.

This is true. I was thinking more of the non-paying recipients of these weapons over the last year such as Venezuela, northwest Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Iran, and ships in international waters.

Not quite fair calling those being bombed “non paying recipients”.
