    Nobody is forcing people to use the US dollar. I mean, I know we Americans can be pretty brash and aggressive sometimes, but we won’t invade you just for not using our currency.

    Probably.

      Saddam wanting to trade oil in other currencies was at least a part in the build up to the invasion of Iraq. The Petrodollar is still a large part of the US’s financial strategy.

      Global trade is conducted in US dollars, so they kind of are forced to use the dollar if they want to trade.
