This is the second of three parts of an interview given by Oleg Nesterenko, president of the Centre de Commerce et de l'Industrie Europeen (European Trade and Industry Center) in Paris, to the publication L'Eclaireur des Alpes. This part looks at the real reasons behind the war in Ukraine, which is really a war for the dollar -- the third, to be precise.

In 2003 Saddam Hussein made good on his threat to stop selling hydrocarbons and gas in U.S. dollars.
