"Erode the US Dollar"

That's been going on for some time. Both China and Russia have been quietly divesting themselves of the US Dollar for some years. It isn't really news, but it makes great propaganda, because it's true and relevant and can be disconnected from time in such a way that it can be leveraged as needed to show what a bunch of weak ass punks we Americans must surely be.

On a different note, that sword you're yanking on is the still rooted tooth of a sleeping dragon.
