>No it doesn't. That's a fantasy held primarily by people that dislike the US, the present world order, and want it all rearranged to their bias. You can instantly spot a person's bias by how quickly they whip out the premise that the USD global reserve is going to be damaged by xyz (it seems to practically be a fetish for some people).

My personal tipoff is how quickly someone mentions "petrodollar".

No, idiot, countries don't use the US dollar to buy and sell oil because the US military points a gun at them. They use the dollar because they, their trading partners, and everyone else prefer having dollars to rubles, renminbi, or bolivars.
