Future historians will judge America harshly for the now documented millions of Vietnamese, Iraqis, Afghans, Lybians that died for no reason at the hand of America.

The Biden/Obama administration and Europe both have their responsibility in alienating Russia. The current administration simply wants to wash its hand off of it as if their was no continuity between Trump America and Democratic America. Now the US words are meaningless.

Why would it want to ? They're export-driven : becoming a reserve currency is not in their interest. The RMB would appreciate and hurt their competitiveness. Plus, they wouldn't be able to control/drive its value down once it has spread over their border.
