You're contradicting yourself all over the place.

You claim the US is going to sign on to a gradual removal of the US Dollar global reserve currency, switching to SDRs.

Then you claim that the US Government is very aggressively fighting to prevent such an outcome. And is so powerful, it can apparently wreck the world's 27th largest economy (Venezuela) without so much as breaking a sweat.




I don't think that I am contradicting myself. My government can be negotiating a slow burn transition off of the dollar, while still digging in its heals when that makes sense.

Maybe I am just being too optimistic, but given my belief that year after year the US dollar will be used less in international trade and business, I HOPE that my government negotiates to make the transition as slow and painless as possible. Some countries we will be able to bully and some countries we can't.
