The US has already demonstrated, by seizing Russian central bank assets denominated in USD, that the USD isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and can’t be trusted further than you can throw it.
The Euro is already getting hit hard by the growing trade and balance of payments deficit with regards to the USD, showing the world the Euro isn’t a safe and trustworthy currency by unilaterally seizing the assets of a sovereign central bank would only make the problem worse and add longer term consequences.
A huge defining fact in a currency is how stable it is. Those competitors aren’t as stable and more than half of those are far more politically unstable.
USD is based on the extraordinary privilege of global hegemony. That privilege has an expiry date coming up soon.
Meanwhile other countries are starting to trade with their own currencies, which are based off the production within their own borders. They’re dedollarizing and they’re creating new international norms based on the principle of respectful cooperation and mutual benefit.
It’s very clear which model is more stable and sustainable.
A continuation of what has been happening for decades. Other people are just trying to get a piece of their pie. It is nothing new.
The problem with BRICS is more than half those involved aren’t stable. They’re politically or financially corrupt or worse depend on the West to even function in the first place. Doomed to fail mostly because of the involvement of selfish actors: Russia, SA, India.
BRICS has more beef with each other than the West half the time. How are India and China going to work together economically when they can’t even settle land disputes? How will BRICS continue when fossil fuels are worthless and half of them are financially empty now? It’s just not realistic.
Actually that was the one I didn’t because Xi has it pretty tied up.
Ironically that’s why people wouldn’t also trust China. He will do what you’re all pointing at the US/EU doing to Russia far more because he has already, often.
That’s the most delusional thing I’ve ever read. Go look up world perception of China outside the western bubble, especially relative to perception of US. The dollar will be used by US and the states US managed to vassalize, everybody else will move on. It’s already happening, but people living in the belly of the beast still can’t see it.
The fact that you think China isn’t financially stable simply illustrates your ignorance of the subject you’re attempting to debate here.
However, the reality is that you don’t need to have a global reserve currency. Anybody who has any historical literacy would know this. Trade can be done in local currencies the way it is already being done increasingly.
All that said, the reality is that yuan is being increasingly used for trade and even western media openly acknowledges this.

Lol compared to what?
China? India? Russia?

Wait, wait, wait, you seriously think that China is less politically stable than the US? 😂😂😂😂

So again how is anyone better than the dollar?
That’s the most delusional thing I’ve ever read. Go look up world perception of China outside the western bubble, especially relative to perception of US.

And I’m asking you who will they use?
Because it won’t be the countries I named. China isn’t financially stable, India isn’t politically stable, Russia is lol.
So who will they choose?

Maybe spend more time educating yourself instead of trolling here?
