Venezuela e BRICS queriam destruir o dólar?

Summary

The video examines whether the U.S. intervention in Venezuela was driven by a need to protect the petrodollar and dollar dominance. Fernando Ulrich argues that this narrative overstates Venezuela's oil relevance and the petrodollar's current importance, explaining that the dollar remains dominant through reserves, trade invoicing, payments, offshore debt, and unit-of-account status. He says de-dollarization is slow and lacks a viable national-currency alternative, while sanctions have mainly pushed central banks toward gold. He concludes the Venezuela operation is better understood as part of U.S. containment of China.
