Lol. I am surprised the OP hasn't got any single merit for the thread, I am out atm.
Anyone who has read a bit of history would know about the Weimar inflation, it was caused mainly because Germany printed monopoly money to exchange them for $, and thus their own currency failed, because nobody wanted the Papiermark. And this is where we arrive to exactly the bilateral India-Russia trade:
...
Simple as that, ruble-rupee trade is good until you need to use all those money, and for the use, you have to exchange it into a trustable currency, at which point you realize nobody is taking monopoly money India can print unrestrained for good old $!
In other words, we often insist on seeing the defects of the dollar or the euro and how much is printed but without seeing the overall picture, which is that most currencies are even worse, some much worse.
Over the past months, we have been bombarded with articles about the global de-dollarisation, how countries will quit using the USD, how the petrodollar is doomed, how the entire US economy is doomed once the usd is dropped, how the Zimbabwean dollar, the Argentian peso, the bolivar, the Iranian rial and other, can we even all them currencies?
We can but I would call them garbage currencies, further emphasiing their junkiness.
I think I agree with you, OP, but not because I think the dollar as the fiat currency that it is is very good, it is just much less bad than the others.
