Yet another reason NOT TO BUY Russian gas and oil and go back to domestic energy production.

Well, when they do what they did with Swift, its whats gonna happen. The world has traded oil for dollars since the 70's, and I have felt its the reason the dollar has not collapsed due to our crazy spending. What happens if they stop doing that? Pretty sure it was why we took out Libya, because they were starting to do that. Countries look at what we did with the sanctions and banking to Russia, and decide I am tired of Uncle Sam pushing us around and we can't do anything about it. And they all say screw you, and start using China or some other countries money. We could be in deep shit. Don't take this as a pro Russia deal, I despise them and what they are doing. But this could back fire on us badly. We have a huge trade imbalance already, what if we have to start paying for everything in someone else's currency, to the value of the dollar? If the middle east countries, who all hate us, and the South American oil producers, and Russia, all get together and say screw the US and Europe and their trying to force us all to go green, when we sell oil for our money, and we won't let them force us to stop doing what pays our bills. Things could go to crap in a hurry here. Where do we get our meds from, electronics, clothes, shoes. Canada, yeah, they love us since we cancelled the pipeline. Mexico, yeah, they don't hold a grudge over Texas to California being taken from them. We need to be careful what we wish for here.
