Macron accuses Le Pen of being on Putin’s payroll (act of desperation? Shades of Russiagate because that worked so well.)

Mike's latest video - Is a major paradigm shift starting with the $.
Very interesting development indeed . I have a few questions that came to me nd when listeners by to the analysis.
1. What commodity traders are saying
" Just because oil prices are absorbing the prospect of an outright European ban on Russian imports well, doesn’t mean there won’t be a major breakout to $300 per barrel highs if and when such a ban is executed. "
https://the-blindspot.com/why-the-oil-price-is-not-what-it-seems/
How does this fit in with the analysis ?
2. Is Chris cookes theory about oil now being on a $ standard about to be tested ?
What I mean by that is if oil shoots up let's say $15O a barrel the US trade deficit doesn't narrow but the $ keeps getting stronger is Chris right ?
3. I was always led to believe the stronger the $ gets the more it hurts the third world. Those that have $ denominated debt as it is harder to pay the debt off.
Will the US reopen $ swap lines like they have in the past to friendly nations and entice not so friendly nations as the squeeze put on them by a stronger $ becomes unbearable ?
Third world countries are going to be hammered not just by shortages but by debt repayments. Serious Crises could start appearing all over the shop.
A stronger $ could dampen oil exports and not stimulate them ?
One of the best things I ever read about the $ was from the bank of international settlements believe it or not.
Called - US dollar funding an international perspective June 2020.
https://www.bis.org
That is what informed me that a stronger $ really hurts emerging markets and third world countries.
Can you see $ swap lines being a tool used by the US to peal some support away from Russia that are otherwise thinking about moving closer to Russia and China ?
Or am I talking shite ?
And $ swaps won't help the burden that smaller countries are going to face with their every increasing $ debt ?

Maybe China has tennis?
I watched most of the Macron/Le Pen debate. Typical political debate. Macron was his normal smug assholishness self, very condescending. Le Pen wasn't always the most confident, she was under enormous pressure, but overall she kept her composure. Le Monde and Le Figaro basically panned Le Pen's performance, but it wasn't the disaster of 5 years ago. Le Pen handled the Russia loan thing about as well as she could have, she obviously prepared for it, she had printed out old tweets even. She claimed Macron had a hand in her being denying loans from French banks, which isn't the strongest move imo. It could be true, but the French banking community could very well exclude Le Pen all on their on without prodding from Macron, or maybe she was just a bad credit risk.. I don't know how most French people view it, but a political party getting loans from a foreign country is definitely a red flag.
