All of it is wrong and reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of how the current global monetary system functions in practice.
I wouldn't know where to begin. Your post indicates that you don't even understand the Bretton Woods system, it's historical and political context, or really anything pertinent about it. Therefore, you are simply not knowledgeable enough to critique it.
As I said, read a textbook. I can recommend some for you if you are interested, but otherwise, I wouldn't want to waste my time. There are also good lay person oriented books you can read such as this.

"Globalizing Capital" by Barry Eichengreen gives a great history of international monetary systems and how countries have slowly moved to globalization for their own prosperity and stability.

It gives you a brief history of global monetary systems, from metals to bimetal to gold to ForEx and then gives deeper analysis of the contemporary atmosphere. I'm not doing it justice, honestly.
