On January 3, 2026, U.S. forces launched Operation Absolute Resolve, capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife in a dramatic raid on Caracas. Officially framed as a strike against narco-terrorism, this analysis views the event through a systems lens — focusing not on personalities or partisan politics, but on the deeper economic structures driving the intervention.
At the heart of this operation lies oil denomination, not just oil volume. Venezuela holds the world's largest proven reserves (over 303 billion barrels), and its shift away from exclusive dollar-based sales — embracing yuan settlements with China, BRICS alignment, and alternative payment systems — represented a direct challenge to the 50-year-old petrodollar system. Established in the 1970s through the U.S.-Saudi agreement, this arrangement has fueled America's "exorbitant privilege": global demand for dollars to buy oil, enabling deficit financing, military dominance, and reserve currency status.
We examine:
The historical roots of the petrodollar and its role in sustaining U.S. hegemony.
Venezuela's de-dollarization moves since 2018, including non-dollar trades and bypassing SWIFT.
Historical parallels: Iraq's euro shift (2000), Libya's gold dinar proposal, and Iran's yuan/ruble sales — each met with severe consequences.
Why this military action, despite official justifications, may ironically accelerate the petrodollar's decline by exposing dollar dominance as enforced by force, not market consensus — pushing BRICS nations, China, Russia, and the Global South toward alternatives like petroyuan, CIPS, and multi-currency oil trade.
The broader fracturing of the system amid evolving global energy markets, where the dollar's role is gradually eroding rather than collapsing outright.
This isn't about left vs. right — it's about structural forces reshaping a multipolar world.

Venezuela's de-dollarization efforts since 2018, including yuan-settled exports to China, BRICS+ membership in 2024, and alternative payment systems that bypassed SWIFT and challenged dollar exclusivity.
Parallels with past regime-change operations (Iraq's euro shift in 2000, Libya's gold dinar proposal, Iran's non-dollar trades) where abandoning the petrodollar triggered severe consequences.
The January 2026 U.S. military action — from naval seizures of tankers to the capture of President Nicolás Maduro — framed as a desperate bid to reclaim control over oil flows and force Venezuelan crude back into dollar circulation.
Why this intervention, justified officially as countering "narco-terrorism," may ironically hasten the petrodollar's decline by exposing dollar dominance as reliant on force rather than market trust, pushing BRICS nations and the Global South toward alternatives like petroyuan, CIPS, and multi-currency oil trade.
As Saudi Arabia explores non-dollar sales, Russia and Iran sell in rubles/yuan, and China's yuan-denominated futures gain traction, Venezuela stands as ground zero in the slow-motion unraveling of U.S. monetary supremacy. This analysis reveals the deeper geopolitical and economic fault lines — not personalities or politics, but structural forces driving a multipolar world.
Perfect for readers interested in de-dollarization, BRICS expansion, oil geopolitics, U.S. foreign policy, global reserve currency shifts, and the future of the world economy in 2026 and beyond.
