Russia is a huge supplier of oil and gas — traded in US dollars — which gives it both leverage over near-term energy flows and, far more ominous for the U.S., the ability to threaten the dollar’s reign as the world’s reserve currency - and it’s taking some big, active steps towards that goal.

Let's take a look at why that is the case.
