Actually, Saddam Hussein had already thought of that by calling for oil to be sold in Euros. He was destroyed to stop the idea gathering root. That was a lesson to warn other small countries not to try.
Russia and China, one having the military might and the other the economic power, was to be the umbrella for BRICS to carry out de-dollarization. One small step by two countries, one big step for mankind.
The USA still resort to sanctioning countries but is pushing them to de-dollarize as well. BRICS is still work-in-progress, and the results so far are positive and helpful for other countries trying to move away from the US$ to avoid the risk of being sanctioned. Several oil producing countries are in BRICS and if oil trade is carried out other than in US$, the de-dollarization move is going to gather speed and usage of the US$ is being decimated. More countries will hold less US$ for oil and unlimited printing of US$ is going to create high inflation in the USA itself.

Saddam Hussein acted at the wrong time. Had he waited for BRICS, he would still be alive, selling oil in Yuan, lol.
