In oil trade decades are quietly happening

NOTE: The YT channel does not appear to be any flavor of Marxist, but has a very grounded materialist outlook on things.

    Iraq made a deal in 2000 to sell oil in Euros.

    Qaddafi was working on a plan to create a gold backed African currency for oil trade.

    Looks like we know how WW3 is starting.

        The USA never successfully invades a country that can actually fight back, I think we are OK.

        It still tried with Vietnam, Cuba, Korea, each fought back and won (mostly).

          I guess I should have said "fight back by hitting the USA itself". But yes, the global bully has invaded countries that have resisted successfully.

        Dogs won't fight bigger things unless backed into a corner either.

        The US is in collapse, and the ways it'll lash out will be unpredictable
