Yes, it's OK until the music stops. Then it's catastrophic.
The buyers of the debt now are largely pension funds and have been for decades. There are less overseas buyers.
Do you know where your retirement is invested?

Fiat currency always fails.
Nobody can stand in the way of printing money without getting steamrolled. The public demands consuming without producing and nothing can stand in its way without getting flattened.

There's certainly no risk of default, but monetary policy intended to curb inflation tends to hit the working class hard.
No, the monetary policy of every administration first and foremost has been to keep the music playing.
That causes anomalies like the inverse yield curve, where investors are getting higher yields on short-term bonds than long term bonds
Where in the world does putting money in a short term investment yield a higher interest rate than a long term investment, all other things being equal since we are discussing just treasuries?

Regardless of the dollar, given all the deficit spending past/present/future, rates should rise, but they are dropping across the entire yield curve, 10 year recent peak was 10/23 at 5%.
Correlation means exactly that: correlation.
Yes, there's fairly strong correlation. But worse, the way to mitigate some of the effects at a macro level have significant impacts on the working and middle classes. e.g., a weak dollar can drive inflation, leading to higher interest rates, ultimately making food, housing, and other basic needs more expensive in order to protect rich people.
Look wider than 1-5 years.
