The US created the problem itself when it started weaponising the USD. They can't have it both ways, expecting everyone to trust the US and USD so much it is the world's currency of settlement, then at the same time tell them do as we say or we will freeze or confiscate / steal your holdings. That trust is now gone, and we can see the effects everywhere. From BRICS alternative payment rails, central banks buying gold, to even governments finding alternatives to US company services: Microsoft Office, Cloud services, Palantir, AI, Zoom, Mastercard and Visa. The EU is finding alternatives to all of them due to said lack of trust. If the US can weaponise any of these at any time, why use them? As one of the ICC Judges found out when his Microsoft account and credit cards were all blocked.
