With their own sanctions, the United States themselves are destroying the system of dollar hegemony

The US administration is looking for new options for anti-Russian sanctions. It comes to the fact that the same sanctions are introduced in the second and third rounds. In the desire to somehow "annoy" Russia, they are ready to make contact even with Iran and Venezuela, which a couple of months ago they designated as "threats to democracy in the world." Now, apparently, they are ready to revise the “quantitative measure” of democracy in the hope that in this way they will be able to impose their will on Russia.

However, Russia does not intend to retreat. Moreover, the situation is such that, with their own sanctions, the United States themselves are destroying the system in the world economy that has been formed, protected and defended for decades. This system of dollar hegemony. Why are they breaking down?



Any economic blow to a country like Russia cannot affect Russia exclusively. The blow will rebound on the United States itself, on the entire world economy. Simply due to the fact that it is impossible to economically and politically isolate the largest country in the world with the greatest natural wealth. As much as anyone would like it. You can’t even fly around Russia to the detriment of yourself ...

The freezing of Russia's dollar assets is already leading to the fact that an increasing number of countries are at least beginning to think about whether they should keep their assets in US currency. After all, they can freeze at any time. This is de jure. And de facto - to steal. If they begin not only to think, but also to transfer their reserves to another version of assets - even in national currencies, then this is a direct rejection of the dollar. And every abandonment of the dollar is the actual need for the US to pay its exorbitant debt. China alone has more than $2 trillion in US debt obligations out of 30. If China decides to ask the US for payment by converting assets into yuan, then the US economy will face a severe shock comparable to the Great Depression. If other countries follow the same path, then the burden of paying off the debt will be a heavy burden on every American. Considering that today every US citizen owes more than 240 thousand dollars (that's five years of continuous work at the average American salary), the burden is really heavy. How to pay if the printing press in this version will no longer help? ..

Mikhail Leontiev discusses the situation in the program “However” on Channel One:

        If the dollar really collapsed, it was worth the lost archives.
        But there are doubts that it will collapse.
        Will go into inflation - yes. But it won't completely collapse. Even though I would like to.

          In a sense, something like that is already in operation. Cash dollars, originally intended for export abroad, have certain numbers and series. Of course, no one recognizes them as fake yet, but if my memory serves me, then upon returning to the USA, the government (or the Fed? God knows who's in charge there) destroys them, preventing them from entering the domestic market, so as not to increase the money supply inside America .

    This Leontiev has been talking about the collapse of the dollar for 20 years, but so far 20-30% inflation in the Russian Federation, and not in the USA. What, for 20 years they could not foresee what Leontiev is talking about ?! Yes Yes.

    taking into account the fact that today every US citizen owes more than 240 thousand dollars

    In fact, the US has roughly 330 million citizens, and the public debt is just over 26,4 trillion. Divide one by the other - you get 80 thousand dollars, well, not 240 thousand.
    If China decides to ask the United States for payment by converting assets into yuan, then the US economy will face a serious shock, comparable to the Great Depression.

    Then the US will not even scratch it, since there are enough people who want to buy US Treasury bonds, in which the US debt to China actually lies.
    China does not collect on these bonds from the US, it can sell them, but the buyer does not have to be the US.

              Good afternoon. Each state has debts, some with more, some with less. Here I see my comment is gone about the transition to the gold ruble. I think if gold moves from the category of goods denominated in dollars, back to the category of means of payment, without being tied to the dollar and the euro, then its value will be quite stable. For the United States, each nuance individually - private debts, public debt, etc. is not fatal, but all together, like the transition to the gold standard, the decoupling of minerals from the dollar, shortens them not childishly. It is not for nothing that everyone who spoke about the transition to the gold standard with the rejection of the dollar as the only currency for which they sell oil and gas was driven into the coffin by Hussein, Gaddafi, Chavez.
              So I don't think the dollar can't be crushed.

                The problem is that gold also shakes periodically. In 2012-13, the price of gold reached $1900, and in 2015 it dropped to about $1100 per troy ounce. Do you need it? :)

                Oleg, the share of foreign trade of the Russian Federation in world trade is approximately 3,1% (export). This is too little to seriously affect the stability of the dollar.

      For today already more than 30 trillion.
      And the people of the United States themselves are also burdened with internal debts.
      Like this: After graduation, students owe about 100 thousand. Physicians about 250-300. Plus mortgages and more. So the fact that every US citizen owes 240k is a very real amount.

    and the public debt is just over 26,4 trillion

    Formally you are right. This is direct debt. But in a general sense, the US owes everyone goods and services worth all the dollars circulating around the world. They have achieved that now the dollar is provided by all the wealth of the planet, but if the rest refuse to admit it, then the Americans will not be able to ensure the exchange of the presented dollars for anything other than a hit with tomahawks. Well, or devalue the dollar an indefinite number of times.
    Threat Payment of debt in dollars is not terrible for them in itself, they will print as much as necessary. The main task of treasuries is to freeze these "deprived" dollars, which are not backed by anything. Imagine a situation if buyers enter the market with trillions of dollars and want to buy something with them. Even if dollars continue to be accepted all over the world, collosal inflation is inevitable.

    It is true that the US and Europe are harming themselves with their sanctions. Idealism drives into our heads that if the United States and all its advanced allies disappear, happiness and prosperity will come to the world. But even China does not think so. His exports to other countries will collapse. And he doesn’t want to stew in his own juice. Not to mention the poorer countries, whose exports to developed countries are just a way of survival. The US national debt concerns only the state. US structures and no more.
