The USA invaded Venezuela to prevent them from doing oil deals with China in yuan which would challenge the USD as the defacto currency for oil trade.

So we can also further your objective just by turning away from fossil fuels.

Yen = Japanese currency

Yuan = Chinese currency (aka renminbi)

We should be electrifying as many things as we. It costs less to run and the electricity supply is more reliable than gas or diesel.

The world will still need oil for durable plastics until that is replaced too.

I like the idea of turning away from dino juice, but it would take a lot to actually get people to do it.
