Agreed on both comments - in the scenario we just go out with a wimper and not a splat (shtf) it would be wise to have PMs or some other socially comfortable currency. and yah, the dollar is doomed - now the big question is by what margin? Hopefully we just get relegated to the class of countries like Spain. What is for sure is that we won't be able to afford to police the world. Things are going to get rougher for those countries that we're propping up/providing security for. We'll see more bullies take more from weak countries and no one will be able to stop them (worse than it is now with say.... China and Tibet - "just providing a single country for our similar cultures"... wait that is what Adolf said...). It will all probably come to a head at some point. China will probably quietly invade eastern Russia (or those nations that make up what eastern Russia used to be). I doubt we'll see any full out nation vs nation war. Most likely it will be political. China will go help develop the infrastructure of some poor countries and ship a bunch of their people there and eventually it will become a territory of China (this is what is happening in Africa now).
And no, sadly they won't plan to off themselves... they aren't planners. So they'll just hand around dragging other people down. Eventually we'll get culture wars - have-nots VS the haves ... it is all just kinda gloomy. Best we can hope for is something that will significantly reduce the human population (hopefully something rosey and wonderful like a breakthrough in space technology that allows us to off-world a lot of people)
