IE: US faith in the stability of the dollar will be tested
Rumours of the death of the dollar are exaggerated, but only for now, writes the author of the article for The New Indian Express. The problems with the American currency are increasing, and the cause of this is Washington itself. Ultimately, the US will overplay their hand and lose their political prestige.
At the moment, there is no doubt in the US about the stability of the dollar as a reserve currency. However, considering the country's economic, political, and social problems, this faith will be put to the test.
To paraphrase Mark Twain's famous joke, rumours of the death of the dollar are exaggerated, although its health problems are increasing.
The problems with the dollar are mainly caused by Americans themselves. The unrestrained fiscal and monetary policies of the US - with a budget deficit and government debt at 7% and over 100% of GDP respectively - have reduced the dollar's long-term purchasing power. Since 1972, it has fallen by 99% against gold and lost 90% of its purchasing power in the market for real goods and services.
American politicians have always sought to use the dollar as a weapon to achieve their own goals, thereby compensating for economic weaknesses, such as lack of competitiveness. The US has sought to exclude foreign entities from international payment systems, such as SWIFT.
Washington imposes secondary sanctions to punish individuals and organisations that are not even under US jurisdiction. If a Russian company is under sanctions, anyone doing business with it may be subject to legal action, even if they comply with their own country's laws. This is done through a questionable system of dollar transactions that only pass through the US banking system. International banks and others have already faced legal action for operations that are legal in their own country. The threats are sufficient to disrupt dealings with organisations under US sanctions.

🇺🇸🪖 - The US Military Is Preparing For A Draft
Last month, the Selective Service System (SSS) quietly posted a listing for contractors to help wargame a potential scenario where young Americans are mobilized against their will. The solicitation coincides with a new law set to go into effect this December that will automatically register all men aged 18 to 26 within US borders (including illegal aliens) into the SSS by utilizing a cross-section of unspecified federal databases.
These updates have taken on a new meaning in light of the ongoing Iran war, which has exposed the limitation of American air power and missile strike ability in accomplishing the goal of regime change. The wars in Ukraine and Iran have drained the US of difficult to replace defensive and offensive missiles while bases in the Persian Gulf are being obliterated by Iranian missile and drone attacks, leaving few options on the table for muscling the Strait of Hormuz out of Iranian hands outside of either ...
