That’s not the point. The US has the power to extract rents; it doesn’t have to use it.

You live in fantasy land if you think the US has that power, any government that tries this would be overthrown.

The thing is… the market disagrees with you. For now. But hey, put your money where your mouth is! I’ll give you a hundred rubles for a hundred dollars. If you really think the US government is impotent and on the verge of collapse…

Haha, which market disagrees? The bond market, the gold market, the bitcoin market, the housing market?

So you don't even know how the bond market and the dollar are related, and you attack my personality when I show your argument is wrong, which you don't understand because you don't understand the bond market.

FOREX is explicitly the market that compares the strength of competing currencies.

I’m aware of how the bond market works. What is your problem with the bond market?
