The article from Bloomberg states the US dollar is "inaccurately" portrayed as “becoming a risky instrument in international settlements” I think this is partly true. - US Dollars are the first thing frozen by US Banks in an RIAA/MPAA dispute. that such a small lobby has such a critical control over a world currency is shocking. - Arbitrary domestic political pandering can, and has, frozen a number of assets for countries with literally no other enemy but the US - We can and do deny credit processing and financial transactions using broad-stroke legislation without real due process (wikileaks) other than a senator suggesting we should. - Republicans shut down the US Government four times under the last president. our credit rating was lowered and government debts could not be serviced. the only thing that was immediately resolved was most airlines abilities to ferry senators home for the weekend.
