Many countries and corporations wish to see petroleum products and services priced in Euros... Not U$Dollars.

It is quite simple to go back through the histories of other country's political/economic agendas... Publically stated.
Those who were clearly moving towards Euro pricing are now on a definite s++t list.
Check it out.
There is no greater threat today to the 'USA System' than the dollar being replaced by the Euro as the sole currency for conducting such transactions.

Beats the actual reasons used to justify the affair of what people call 'Viet Nam'.

Same "bad-guys", though.
Same modus operandi
Same blind idiots accepting and believing...

Most people seem to be able to grasp the concept and reality of the so-called underworld - 'organized crime' and stuff...

They DO NOT want to accept that there is also an overworld...
The REAL crooks who ALSO get to play with the laws, primarily in order to protect and maintain their position and secure an unfair advantage over others.

Like medieval princes, hmmm ?
Lords and serfs...

Sure has been a lot of progress since then, huh...
There are fewer princes now... And, a hell of a lot more dumb serfs.

Let the pageant continue !
Summon deepblue for the next joust !
