Neocon's vs Exxon?
Muck - "I have a hypothesis, as countries stop using dollars to trade oil, are those dollars now flooding back here?"
The Nattering One muses... since 1974, all Saudi oil traded with all countries is in USD, and that is how it is going to stay for the near future. There are those who go outside the dollar lines, Russia and China.
China has many consumers, but the bulk have what Foxconn pays them or nothing. More important...

The idea that loosening on Russia, would pull them away from China and to the West was sold to Trump, by long time Putin and China confidant Kissinger. Russia admits to Kissinger's influence in their process.
Some Russians believe the idea, and correctly we think, that "Russia needs the West" to be erroneous, and maintain that the Russia - China relationship will continue to strengthen.

You know I am a political agnostic, who holds all in equal contempt, and our favorite lex parsimoniae, follow the money. With that in mind...
What is good for Exxon (Tillerson) is not good for arms sales?
Some view a strong Russia - China alliance to be a healthy thing, and that a US - Russia alliance would be perceived as a threat to the military industrial complex.
Hence the "Russian influence" attacks on Trump to prevent and undermine those efforts? Hmm? Brings our favorite lex parsimoniae "Always Follow The Money" and this to mind...
In any event, trade oil with pretend currencies, jaw breakers, M and M's or juju beans, I don't care, go ahead...
Specific to the aforementioned hypothesis...
Regardless of the volume of oil trade involved, less dollars used as petrodollars, lower dollar float, higher value for those dollars. As for flow, when dollars are not used for oil, they can sit idle or are used for something else.
