Petrol dollars rules and controls the US economy. The Middle East oil provider wants to sell oil in ERUOS not dollars. So the US has to use military force to stop them from selling in Euros because it will collapse the US economy. British and American does not want to buy in Euros. All this go back to the federal reserve bank.
