    the problem, from non-american, but porky-adjacent pov (ignoring military threats and whatever): usa never defaulted. Even if we take fiat currencies as is, t-bills seems mighty safe investment. As a secondary factor, usa (and europe as well) presents nice image for compradors all round the world, your investment is safe, societies are sophisticated and cultured, you unlikely to get pitchforked. Yes, behind the scenes threats of sanctions and tech denials are probably very important, but one or both public facing factor should collapse in some form for something else to emerge.
