I said "a country"… are you under the impression that "a coffee shop" is "a country"?

How could you mistake a coffee shop for a country?

Seems like you want to misread me on purpose?

Many "countries" don't do business in USD, they do business in their own currency. Why haven't those countries already been invaded if what you're saying is true?

Can they buy oil with their own currency? No, they have to use their currency to buy USD and then buy oil.

If they get a deal with an oil selling country that says otherwise, USA sends in the army (usually to the seller, not the buyer).

India is buying oil in rubles right now. Let me know when the US invades.
