What would happen to a major oil producing nation that decided to stop using the U.S. dollar?

If a major oil producing country, like Libya, decided to stop trading their oil for U.S. dollars what consequences would that country's leadership face?

    The undesirable men own the oil agencies and administration the oil industry, what the oil producing international places sell, and the media. enormous oil tells OPEC what to do, not any incorrect way around. Oil producing international places choose for the money as undesirable or worse than you and that i choose for our income. If the oil producing international places stopped exporting oil it could be by way of fact Exxon/Mobil and the different enormous oil agencies instructed them to end exporting oil.

    Their leadership would soon drown in bribes to return to a policy of using dollars.

    Or lead poisoning would set in quickly. Or drone poisoning.

    They'd probably have their leadership replaced with someone who will play ball with the US, as happened with Libya.
