And that quote doesn't hold up to even the slightest scrutiny. China doesn't need to worry too much about who's on the (permanent) Security Council because how could any combination be worse than the majority being the US, the UK, and France? Also China isn't invading other countries.

Over 15 years, a mean not a median? Yeah probably.

Almost certainly but conveniently 15 years is right after the great recession up to the very start of biden inflation, probably the best window to measure and get that result since 1972.

To be fair, if you're freezing the assets of a sovereign nation on a whim you're already 90% of the way there. You've got their money, they can't have it back (until they meet your demands), what's the difference if you start spending it? You've already shown to everyone the system can't be trusted if you piss off the US.

Yeah you're all correct, I think I'm just pessimistic about the western hegemony ever coming to terms with Russia to an extent they get their money back and thus consider it a fait accompli.
