FATCA, protectionism hidden behind AML/KYC, money printing at the expense of the other countries' reserves, sanctions or the threat of sanctions, political requests for IMF/WB funding, etc... Really, it's a shitshow and the US is rarely the good guy here.

I really don’t see how protectionism hides behind these acronyms

Sanctions would be a reasonable argument I personally agree with

I mean you are just throwing everything that the US does into one bucket called "US dollar hegemony" without discrimination. I'm not saying they don't leverage their dollar power I disagree that it "significantly abused their position" via the alphabet soup of complaints above.

I think the US sanctions regime, based on the supremacy of the US dollar, is nakedly abused. For instance, sanctioning ICC prosecutors who investigated US service members for warcrimes.

In this case you're talking about the moves by the Trump GOP administration.

For good or bad, it's still the legitimately elected US government. The Trump government represented the population of the USA, and was elected in accordance with its own rules. The consequences or fruits thereof belong to the citizens of the nation.

I understand - but to use that as an example of a pattern of the US government significantly abusing their US dollar hegemony doesn't equate.

Maybe the 40% currency devaluation?

Purely speculative conspiracy theory here.

Yes, that's why US does everything they can to prevent investigating who caused it, same with UN and US allies when it come to investigation who sabtaged NS.

But of course it's conspiracy theory, let's just label it and ignore smoking gun.

The other possibility is EU member states and investigating it would further inflame internal tensions in an already tense time and erode support for the war effort. There are many many possibilities - which is why the version you are putting forward is labelled a conspiracy theory until otherwise proven.

Hersh thinks, as of Feb 23 2023, that "the Russians have yet to put any of their main forces in". (https://twitter.com/JimmySecUK/status/1628898816953909251) I dunno what happened to him, but you should probably read his allegations with that context in mind.
