Dawg, the US has 15 or whatever carrier groups.

The only currency is violence. If the Middle East fucks with the dollar, we will just kill them.

The US military hegemony is only as strong as its ability to fund that. Just printing an extra trillion dollars or so in a year has nearly broke the entire domestic economy, there's no way the US could mount a multi-front war at the moment.

Not to mention that such a conflict would rapidly increase the speed of adoption of US-alternate currency options.
