It was that anytime a country tries to sell oil in a currency other than USD they automatically become enemies of the US and get invaded. > How about militarydollar or imperialismdollar or neocondollar. I think all those labels are also appropriate now that the Petrodollar system seems to be collapsing with Saudi Arabia, China, Russia and India all exploring the possibility of trading oil outside the dollar.
