I actually agree with this. This is just an obvious fact that anyone who isn’t an insane Ukraine/Israel fanatic is aware of.
Disallowing people from using the dollar causes countries to do non-dollar trades which obviously weakens the dollar, as the entire strength of the dollar comes from its position as the global reserve currency. That’s the underlying basis for the entire US empire.
Risking all of that to try to control the Donbass is completely deranged and inexplicable.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has promised to drastically reduce the use of sanctions by the US if he wins the election in November.During an appearance at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday, Trump was asked if he plans to “strengthen or modify” Washington’s economic restrictions on Russia and other countries.
”I want to use sanctions as little as possible,” he replied, explaining that there is “a problem” with the extensive reliance on such penalties by the US, because “ultimately it kills your dollar and it kills everything the dollar represents.”
It is “important” for the dollar to remain the international reserve currency, the former president insisted.
“If we lost the dollar as the world currency, I think that would be the equivalent of losing a war, that would make us a third world country. And we cannot let it happen,” he said.
Trump, who slapped various restrictions on Russia, Iran and North Korea during his term in office between 2017 and 2021, acknowledged that he himself has been the “user of sanctions.”
If he gets installed as president, he probably won’t be allowed to change any of the sanctions regimes.
Maybe they will slightly draw back on the Russia sanctions if the war ends, but not hugely.
I’m actually in support of the sanctions, because I want to see the US dollar collapse, because I hate the US government and support it doing things that hastens its own collapse.
