S Illinois | Clearly you don’t understand the size and scope of the oil trade nor the economic size of the counties in your two examples. It would be like you blaming a farms lack of profitability on changing tractor brands.
Your timeline is backwards. Any sales of oil in something besides dollars was driven by weakness not strength. They were looking for any outlets to raise capital to fund their regimes.
