USA - The American obsession with de-dollarisation cannot be understood without grasping how deeply the dollar underwrites the US economy. Dollar dominance allows the United States to import more than it exports, consume more than it produces, and borrow without fear of currency collapse. It allows Wall Street to siphon global savings, the Pentagon to operate hundreds of overseas bases, and Washington to impose unilateral sanctions with extraterritorial reach.
If countries begin trading oil and strategic commodities in non-dollar currencies at scale, this privilege erodes. Demand for dollars falls, borrowing costs rise, inflation becomes domestic rather than exported, and military adventurism becomes fiscally constrained. DE-DOLLARISATION, IN SHORT, THREATENS NOT AMERICAN PROSPERITY ALONE BUT AMERICAN IMPERIAL BEHAVIOUR.
