The viewpoint of Pepe Escobar,which, while it does fall within the traditional leftist paradigm,at least politically, can be seen as a credible alternative to the majority of MSM views because he does not support the hegemonic USA first position.
He also boldly states that as the issuer of (currently) the world's reserve currency, the weaponisation of the $US, eg, the seizing of foreign assets held in the US, is not the kind of behaviour that will win the support of other sovereign nations.
Nor, given it's untenable debt position, can the financial powers that be in the USA continue as they have since 1971 without increasing amounts of blowback.
Senor Escobar states these facts,without fear of favour, so Wiki et Al raising eyebrows should be no surprise.
