The system would collapse chaotically in any case. It is preferable they are undertaking a controlled demolition, although most people don’t see it that way.
The US global banking empire is inherently more difficult to wind down than the British Empire. Wall Street banks, which are merely sterile, unromantic bonus factories, enjoy none of the continuing cachet and fraternal global relations of the Commonwealth.
The reset may be harder for the US, because the decline to average lifestyles is so much further for the US. And in future, there could be a lot of economic migration from the US to the global south, where jobs may be more plentiful.
