America's Most Powerful Weapon Is Not Nukes, It’s the Petrodollar

"As the world moves toward renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, the demand for oil might decrease."

"With less oil consumption, the need for the petrodollar could shrink, making the U.S. less able to use its dollar dominance to maintain global influence."

"Even if the petrodollar were abandoned today, the U.S. would likely remain a global superpower. That’s because the U.S. dollar isn’t just supported by the petrodollar, it’s already deeply integrated into the global economy."
