DISINFO: Анти-российские санкции приводят к дефолту США.
СВОДКА
Хотя Конгресс США приостановил лимит долга и предотвратил дефолт экономики США, он неизбежно наступит. Анти-российские санкции спровоцировали дедолларизацию по всему миру, и эта тенденция способствует дефолту США. Санкции возвращаются к своему отправителю. Для большей части мира санкции стали напоминанием о нездоровой зависимости от доллара США.
ОТВЕТ
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about backfiring Western sanctions on Russia. It is also consistent with a recurring disinformation narrative about the imminent collapse of western economies, the US economy in this case. During the debt ceiling talks in the US in the spring of 2023 disinformation sources alleged, among other things, that the war in Ukraine is a US tool to hide the financial catastrophe.
Лately, India, China, and other countries have indeed accelerated their plans to pay for commodities in non-dollar currencies. However, there is scientific consensus that talk about the "global de-dollarisation" is rather premature. See discussions about it here and here.
Despite Moscow's reiterations that US sanctions undermine the credibility of the US dollar, for the foreseeable future it will likely remain the world's dominant currency. At present, the US dollar is estimated at 88% of all international transactions while e.g. the figure for Chinese yuan is just 7%.
Following Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, dozens of countries throughout the world imposed various restrictions against Russia. For instance, the EU explained that the sanctions aim at weakening Russia’s ability to finance the war and specifically target the political, military and economic elite responsible for the invasion.
