Actually unlike the trillions the US government is printing, this particular $20 billion is not printed, as it was mentioned above. This is stolen money. In fact this is one of the reasons why the entire world is increasingly concerned about using the dollar for reserve currency or international trades using SWIFT (the way US stole the $20 billion) because they see that the US government can easily block any nation's money and then steal it from them very easily.
This is why dedollarisation is progressing every day, and more countries join it.
In other words the US is weaponizing its national currency.
A wise man once said:
“USD is our currency, but it is your problem.”
Those countries indeed should move away from the dollar or else they’ll get punished whenever they do something the US don’t like. Then it would mean they are not independent states.
Bitcoin looks like a legit alternative to the dollar at this point.
Some people of course want to give away the fact that dollars have become a “weapon”, especially those who need them very much but have become unavailable
In fact, the dollar is a tool, just like any other currency. It is just that the dolar turned out to be better than others and has a wider application than others.
Regarding the fact that dollars are used as a mechanism of punishment, or rather their seizure or deprivation of access to them - it is normal. Any offender should be punished, especially such criminals as international terrorists.
Let's look at this story, for example, from your side ? Someone committed a crime against you - looted your apartment, broke your things, destroyed your car.
I understand that you will be strongly opposed to the court ruling that the criminal should be punished, his assets should be seized from him to compensate you for your losses, am I right ?
