The dollar isn't going away any time soon. The problem is that the world (especially Americans ) are addicted to the dollar. Russia and China just simply insist on being America's antagonist no-matter what. They don't have allot of pull in the world and nobody wants them to. I wouldn't put too much weight on anything Russia is doing because they don't seem to be able to get it together. China is different. China has a massive recourse called one billion population but they see it as a hindrance rather than a recourse. The true hindrance in china is the government's strong desire to micromanage everything. Simply put; these guys combined efforts inst enough to compete with the dollar at great extent.
