Most countries can produce some oil, and if there's no demand it doesn't matter what price they try to sell it at when no one buys it.

And those who can't produce oil, will find alternatives. Exactly what is happening right now.

If countries become self-sufficient through green energy, which is 100% achievable, there won't be any electro or petro dollars, making the USA irrelevant. Which is my hope.
