The Real Threat to U.S. National Security: The Collapse of the Dollar and Global Dominance
While Russia has often been viewed as a key threat to U.S. national security, a far greater danger looms: the collapse of the U.S. dollar and, consequently, American global dominance. The dollar’s strength underpins the U.S. economy, but recent trends—like the rise of BRICS nations seeking to reduce reliance on the dollar—are signaling trouble. Countries are exploring alternative currencies for international trade, undermining the dollar’s dominance.
Inflation and high national debt further exacerbate the fragility of the dollar. Persistent inflation erodes purchasing power, while aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve risk slowing economic growth. Meanwhile, the growing national debt raises concerns about America’s ability to maintain long-term fiscal stability.
BRICS countries, including Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, and now Turkey, have begun actively de-dollarizing their economies, exploring ways to trade using their own currencies. As these emerging powers grow, their diminishing reliance on the U.S. dollar could significantly weaken its global influence.
If the dollar continues to decline, it could trigger a broader economic crisis, as nations shift away from it as the world’s reserve currency. The U.S. would lose leverage in global markets, weakening its geopolitical influence and leaving its economy vulnerable to international shocks.
In sum, the collapse of the U.S. dollar poses an existential threat to U.S. national security, far outweighing military concerns like Russia. Protecting the dollar’s global status should be a top priority to prevent economic instability and preserve American leadership.

I suspect we can survive not being the world’s reserve currency. I am not sure, however we will survive the massive debt we are accruing with irresponsible policies.
I’ve penciled out a proposal to address that, too bad it’ll never happen. In a nutshell, it would take the Balanced Budget Amendment with two exceptions added: one, a suspension in time of Declared War, and the other allowing a one-year suspension by a 3/5 Supermajority vote in both chambers… BUT if the budget isn’t balanced with enough surplus to pay back that deficit the next fiscal year, all who voted for the suspension are ineligible for reelection or any other further elected or appointed office.
Ya know, make legislators start facing real consequences for their actions like the rest of us…
