The Militarization of Space

            In light of the sanction the United States imposed on Iran and Russia, Europe is building out its own payment system independent of SWIFT.  SWIFT is America's payment and Europe was dependent on it for decades.  These payment systems are in space.  Japan and Russia have their own payment systems and they have been letting other countries us it.  Europe is going to use their payment system to import oil and export to Iran and Russia.  In the near future there will be more multilateral deals between countries with advanced space programs such as Spain and Italy to use a payment system independent of the U.S's SWIFT system.
            AI is being used for high frequency trading, modeling geopolitical and sociology situations.  This models the AI develop are being used in policy formation.  AI could be used in wars.  I suspect that a great deal of the next war will take place in space.  Also, AI could be used in this war as to avoid human causalities.  The weaponization of space means that instead of the greatest sea power having the reserve currency, the dominant space power will have the reserve currency.  Historically, the country that is a sea power is the reserve currency.  For example, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, The British, and eventually America had the reserve currency.
