@Commievn Could the United States rescue itself by using the the Special Drawing Rights of the International Monetary Fund as a back up currency if it got the European Union and others to agree? Similar to getting Saudi Arabia to agree to only trade oil and gas in US dollars, or western Europe to accept the US dollar as the sole international reserve currency for international trade over the hypothetical international currency the Bancor proposed my John Maynard Keynes? In other words, could the USA postpone or avoid bankruptcy and the collapse of the dollar by going over to a global currency?
