As the dollar declines, so does Washington’s power.
The De-Dollarization discussion suffers from holdover thinking that a reserve currency is needed. No reserve currency is needed.

A reserve currency sets up a special country with the power to pay its own bills with endless debt. At World War II’s end, John Maynard Keynes had a better solution than the dollar as reserve currency, but Washington wanted the power of the reserve currency.
