Stealing the assets of countries like Venezuela and Russia caused this to happen by making the rest of the world move off of the dollar to secure their asses. Doing more of them is the dumbest idea that can be proposed.
Stealing? Don't start a war against neighbours or other neighbours might get angry.
I don't see much movement into other currencies, just the usual fluctuation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_currency#Global_curren...
"Other currencies" gained two percent point, I guess that's the Rupees the Ruzzians sold their oil for.

Those other neighbors themselves invaded many countries. They stole the money of other countries. Like Venezuela. They never had their assets stolen. Apparently, they subscribed to none of the moral values and ethics they have been advocating. So that argument doesn't count.
Those are currency reserves. Not the changes in the usage of currencies in international trade. But hey, don't let me disturb the comfortable numbness...
