@MSDGroup-ez6zk Here's the top 10 currencies used in world trade, because you seem to be confused. 1. US dollar (USD): 2. Euro (EUR): 3. Japanese yen (JPY): 4. The pound sterling (GBP): 5. Australian dollar (AUD): 6. Canadian dollar (CAD): 7. Swiss franc (CHF): 8. Chinese renminbi (CNH): (about 1.2% of all reserve and less then 3% of global trade) 9. Hong Kong dollar (HKD): 10. New Zealand dollar (NZD): Also You understand Russia is a colonial power right, calling out Puerto Rico and Hawaii is idiotic.

@mrboxheadd748 So was France, only they didn't have to deal with decades of Brutal occupation from the British and Americans.

@MSDGroup-ez6zk The total sum is 200% because each currency trade is counted twice: once for the currency being bought and once for the one being sold. The percentages represent the proportion of all trades involving a given currency, regardless of which side of the transaction it is on. For example, the US dollar is bought or sold in 88% of all currency trades, while the euro is bought or sold in 31% of all trades. Understand?

@MSDGroup-ez6zk Cool story, doesn't change the fact that over 85% of global trade is in USD. The only real competitors are the Euro and the Yen. Yuan makes up less than 3% of global trade. And no duh the % of USD of total economic activity is shrinking overal. Small developing countries grow much faster overall then the gigantic US economy. Oh and pretty much all those countries still use USD as their reserve currency.

@MSDGroup-ez6zk What about the Russian empire? Or are you saying that Russia has only existed since the 90's then in that case why do they claim Ukraine is part of Russian territory? The Russian Federation fancies themselves the successors of the Soviet Union. Pretending otherwise is silly.

@MSDGroup-ez6zk And the Caucuses and Siberia and Manchuria and the Kuril Islands etc etc.

@MSDGroup-ez6zk Every country on earth has been colonized at one point or another. You know colonize is just a synonym for conquer right? The UK was colonized by celts, then Romans then Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans. Its currently being colonized by Africans and Asians.

@MSDGroup-ez6zk You see little boy up until WW2 the rules of the world were different, everyone was trying to conquer everyone else. Now after WW2 the borders are set. If you try to annex another country you are a bad boy. Get it?
