They're trying to cash in on decades of post WWII American hegemony.

We'll see if the check bounces. If it does, it will be a major hinge point.

Either way, countries are building alternatives to dependence on the US, so if this all works out for the empire, then everyone will have escape boats for the next hinge point.
