IMHO incompetent traitors run our government but those incompetent traitors love money and power and they are brutishly guarding the USD from any threats.
I doubt the saudis are really betraying the petro dollar agreement and if they do it will cost them dearly, this is the same government which started the ukraine war to sabotage Europe's finances and prevent the euro from usurping the dollar's place as reserve currency.
In other words: diversify your portfolio, be cautious, expect the dollar to fail but it will drag every competing currency down with it. So I would value real assets but I expect real estate and physical gold will improve in price before the next shoe drops.
The safest choice is homesteading if you have what it takes but it takes more than most have to give and the return is really on insulation from societal collapse.
