America’s debt is soon to be 18 trillion dollars.

(and that is RAPIDLY growing)

Maybe we should pay attention to America’s problems for a change.

Exactly. At $18T in debt, if we weren't he benchmark currency, we would have defaulted long ago.

We are basically functioning mostly as a highly leveraged world's bank with an empty vault that only contains a printing machine.

Look up the total derivatives that would likely default if Russia goes down.

Look up Credit Default Swaps.

If Russia goes down, it could mean lights out for Europe. And that kind of a “flu” hits everyone.

You should be concerned.
