no society is going to just bow down for eternity and accept things as they are for long. if an opportunity presents itself. I'm not understanding what "reality" means as if the BRIC nations aren't in that "reality" as we speak. weaponizing sanctions and intimidating macro foreign economies isn't something that other peoples take lightly. the circumstances from the 90's and now are very much different with very much different rulers taking charge today. less dictators in third world countries and more dictator impersonators of developed countries. There was a less will to do more harm that can be public before vs now everything is public and you become immune to the affects of what could be until it becomes the norm for you. Things change my friend, its frugal thinking otherwise.
This article is literally about the decline of american dollar dominance. i'm not sure with in denial is still at play here. There is a clear panic alarm in the US, look at the policies and attitude of the US. things are changing.
You have to put stuff in perspective. Despite the recent decline (which is still way above the 50% and much higher than the lowest it has ever historically been), the percentage USD has is still several times larger than the EUR in second place.
