America wants to couple oil to the collar and in the past forced everyone to do so. Any leader that wanted to be paid in gold got killed.

Because everyone needs energy, everyone is forced to trade in dollars. And you know what America can do? Print those dollarydoos.

So they are not just making sure their monopoly is stable but also that they have an infinite money hack by devaluing the global currency that everyone is forced to trade in.
