This is one of those actions that is completely understandable and an unambiguously moral decision, but the blowback has the potential to upened the entire post-WW2 American centric global financial order. Maybe for the better, maybe for the worse, I don’t know, but it’ll probably depend alot on what your vantage point is.
The blowback I’m referring to wouldn’t be kinetic, it’d the loss of the monetary hegemony provided by American lead banking system and the USD being used as the global reserve currency.
