I Have Been Criticized For Saying The Dollar Could Lose Its Status As The World's Currency [View all]

Krasnov has been trying to crash the dollar ever since he became president. His tariffs, his attacks on the Fed to lower interest rates.

This has been Krasnov's only economic goal. To crash the dollar and strengthen Crypto, cyber-currency.

Iran is making deals with China, Iran has been shipping oil to China ever since the war began, shipping more oil than before the war began.

Now Iran is making a deal with China, it will continue to ship oil to China if it is bought using the yuan as currency.

If this deal works out, it's another warning sign for the dollar.

The BRIC countries have been scheming on a basket currency to replace the dollar.

Just imagine what happens to the United States if the dollar loses its status, safe 401k's invested in cash will crater. It will take more dollars to buy groceries, to shop at Walmart.

The dollar is safe for now, but there are cracks.
