    As long as oil is denominated in dollars, we can print dollars(or "create" them electronically) and buy all the oil we
    need. Guess what happens when dollars are no longer the currency accepted for oil?

    Meanwhile, China is making deals to become the worlds reserve currency.

    China has been trying to promote the yuan as an alternative global reserve currency to the US dollar.
    It has signed currency deals with many of its trading partners, including Hong Kong and Japan.
    That has seen a rise in the amount of Chinese trade being settled in yuan instead of US dollars.

    China has already hooked up with Brazil and Russia. Then, Japan and South Korea, although I don't know if those are completed. Just recently, Australia. And China is doing a lot of investing in various African countries.

    China is taking a page from Japan's book: Japan achieved by trade after WW II everything she'd gone to war to get. The US is doing a lot of war but is losing out in the world markets. Seems to be a lesson there.
