this is an affect of the fall of the petrodollar caused by the US not a tool to take down the US
currency has to be a fair tool or its useless and we abused that, what do you expect them to use? the US Dollar?
this was always what would happen from the moment the US seized Russian accounts at the start of Ukraine
China and Russia tried to start their own thing but again... why would anyone use a currency they control?
gold was supposed to keep us honest it didn't, then we agreed to protect shipping lanes and provide security and we didn't
tbh being the global reserve currency with the money printer has been a poison seed the entire time maybe we can get back to being a real country after (see:
Understanding the Triffin Dilemma: Impact on Global Currencies)
better yet a splinter that has caused a corrupting infection that can start to heal after it gets ripped out, the libs couldn't fund fraud if the money printer had consequences, but then the right doesn't get to abuse it for their goals either
