Commentary Warns U.S. Faces Simultaneous Threats to Military Power and Dollar Dominance

President Donald Trump stated that losing world reserve currency status "would be worse than losing a major war," warning that the United States "wouldn't be the same country anymore."
Commenting on those remarks, a social media analyst argues that the U.S. is losing ground on both fronts simultaneously:
- Military challenges: The post claims the U.S. has suffered strategic setbacks against Iran and the Houthis, asserting that low-cost missiles and drones are challenging expensive American military equipment and limiting U.S. power projection.
- Dollar and Treasury concerns: The author argues that interventions by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlight a structural flaw in the U.S. Treasury market, where foreign nations are expected to fund growing U.S. debt but cannot easily liquidate holdings during a crisis without risking systemic instability.
- Multipolar shift and gold: The commentary states that China is expanding its gold infrastructure and internationalizing the yuan through gold to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar, concluding that investors do not hold enough gold for a shifting global order.
