Of course any country that seeks to "ditch the dollar" becomes a pariah state in the eyes of the printers of the dollar Grin

Well that is shortsighted at best.
I have seen a little of the world and many pariah states deserve that title.

Countries where judicial and executive are one and the same are exactly that.

The financial turmoil in 2008 was due to excesses and a lax executive control.
Some go that far to say that was due to politics benefitting from it.

Most accusations lack sources though, so they are gossip, not more nor less.
