China dream is to destroy Dollar as world currency and the USA just helped it.
Now that Russia has said it’s Ruble for oil and gas, then all things can follow meaning Russia is about to make all trading with Russia in Ruble and Turkey already said they will start trading with Russia in Ruble as Turkish citizens comes first before anyone and even due Turkey support Ukraine government but Turkey still need Russia cheap gas and since many Turks have massive businesses in Russia.

Many countries are USA allies because of fear not because they like USA.
USA will not be destroy from outside, just like all empires, big empires most get destroyed from inside from inflation.
Hungary have said the same thing also. cool India have concluded plans with Russia to pay with Rubles while Russia will pay them in Rupees for medical supplies. cool The scheme is schedule for next week or so.

I will not be surprise if Biden sleep e no wake up. Those capitalist bastards go press am die. grin grin

Meanwhile, Donald Trump keep singing... cool cool

PoliteActivist:
It is actually a dumb, manipulated write-up. Why didn't he ask himself why huge China, Russia, India and other countries with massive economies haven't done it all these decades. Plus the fact they are direct competitors/enemies of US. Even durring the cold war.
It is so naive to think the US economy is dependent on petro-dollar!
You are still learning how the world works. Ask yourself: why do the US have it's military stationed on the ass of almost all oil producing nations? They killed Qaddafi and Saddam simply because they wanted to weaned themselves off the Dollar in trading oil. How else do you think made it possible for the USD to become world reserve currency? The Brenton Woods arrangement is what made it possible today, and the influence of that arrangement spilled over to other sectors including the international purchase of basic commodities, the majority of which are priced and sold in Dollars.

India enemy of US? What are you yapping? China was nowhere near where it is today economically during the cold war. And Russia isn't the same as the USSR then. So your premise made no logical sense. Besides, the US hasn't really weaponized the dollar against a major player like Russia all these years. Third-world nations have always been the victims of it's manipulations and because they lack the means to fight back, it's difficult to challenge the US imposed order or seek other alternatives. But now that it has done it to one of the powerhouses of the world (Russia) some nations are now embodied to setup alternatives because the nation involved (Russia) has asked for it, and set a precedent and she is more than capable to ensure its success and there is nothing the US can do about it unless they want to risk World War 3. cool This I believe is what is frustrating the Biden administration so much that he opened up his mouth and indirectly called for a regime change in Russia, which happens to be one of his greatest and reckless gaffes of all times. It's sure going to be a political talking point in the upcoming midterm elections. Biden don carry America enter one chance. cool
Foreign AffairsRe: Donald Trump Accuses Biden Of Risking Nuclear War With Russia by Appleyard(m): 2:18am On Mar 28, 2022
It's funny but equally grave how Biden has unwillingly become an existential threat to US national security. cool Many times he opens his mouth to speak on foreign policy issues, he just ends up giving out state secrets. No wonder some elements in the Pentagon hate him and the state department. I genuinely felt sorry for him when he was ranting nonstop in Poland. But It's even funnier seeing Blinken Blinking going about trying to repair the damage Biden has caused. cool I almost laughed when watching Blinken trying to explain to Israel's Prime Minister how Biden didn't mean a regime change in Russia; the way Jewish leader was just standing dare staring at him like "What da fuvk is wrong with you guys?" grin grin Blinken was stammering and struggling to string together coherent words. It was so funny. grin grin

On a serious note, that man ought to be in an elderly facility now. Is glaring he is too old for the job now..

TWoods:
Some of the comments here are simply bewildering. It's like some people throw out a few words they've heard before and just bleat it without thinking through.



Huh? There is a reason every country (Ukraine, Finland etc.) are now scrambling to join NATO. They know Russia would never dare invade a country with US troops. I'm not sure what "strategic mistake" you think the US has committed... looks like you're just stringing together big words you think make you sound smart.
The message have been sent via Ukraine: the Russians will no longer tolerate NATO expansion to it's doorsteps, take it or leave it. They tried the Russian resolve by crossing a redline--Ukraine. And Russia has made good it's intent to stop the criminal "Now America Take Over" (sorry, NATO) gangsterism from further incursion next to it's territory. Period. Finland can go and join for all I care, but one thing is now certain; the days of Russia talking and voicing it's security concerns are over. They will just act and nothing will happen. cool

How would you know is a strategic mistake when all you do is focus on MSM nonesense reportage.

Biden allowed himself to be goaded into banning Russian oil import. Today, he is still looking for replacement for that oil. Nobody wants to help him. Even his longtime standing allies in the Middle East are refusing to pick his calls. Meanwhile, it has forced prices of commodities to go up in the US and elswhere.

And because Russia is a major producer and supplier of key energy and natural resources, including agricultural products and high-tech, weaponizing the dollar means other countries including some in Europe would have to come up with alternative ways to pay for these goods which are essential to their economy and security. For instance, India who has since the sanctions began bought 6 million barrels of oil has concluded plans to pay for their trade with Indian Rupees to Russian Rubles, a system that will commence next week. cool Other nations aside the EU (and even in the EU) will follow suit in a moment because they can't sit and watch their country suffer. Saudi Arabia is already in talk with China to pay oil and goods in Yuan. cool If this isn't a strategic mistake vis the petrol dollar and the crisis in Ukraine, then I wonder what is. By removing some Russian banks from the SWIFT system and weaponizing the dollar against Russia, he has inadvatently set in motion the death of the petrol dollar. cool which is the most viable commodity exported by the US. This is the reason members of the Federal Reserve were angry that they weren't consulted before such actions were taken. Obama was right: "Never underestimate Joe's ability to fuvk things up". cool



This is quite stupid. In fact, countries still buying Russian oil have clearly refused to paying rubbles. Everyone else is still buying oil in dollars and EU members are now working to buy US gas rather than remain reliant on Russian gas. Here - https://www.politico.eu/article/poland-russia-energy-gas-pipeline/
India have already reached agreement with Russia to settle oil and defence deals on the Rubles. How about that?. Hungary have said it would do anything necessarily to ensure that their people are not denied the economic prosperity and peace they enjoy, which means they will certainly pay for their gas in Rubles--a truly independent country cool

The UK is already singing a different tune since the Russian announcement, hinting that the sanctions could possibly be lifted if Russia stops the war in Ukraine, a far cry from their earlier stance that the sanctions would stay all through the year and beyond. cool The reality of gas shortage is already hitting in amidst the spike in prices. cool

As for Poland, they can boast all they want. It is simple. Once the next delivery time arrives, they will either pay via Rubles (since Russia can't access dollars anymore) or have no gas delivered. They can go and buy elsewhere at four times the price, no one is stopping them. cool


Putin, for all his "thinking two steps ahead of Biden" is struggling to defeat a nation with barely an army. That's a monumental disgrace. Saying Russia has one of the best spy agencies in the world is meaningless. The US had clear maps of every Russian military movement months in advance. The US was one of the few countries that correctly predicted the Russian invasion. Here - https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/19/us/politics/biden-putin-russia-ukraine.html
This is just shows you have your head buried deep in western media propaganda.

According to the global index firepower, Ukraine ranks 22 out of 141 countries. Ukraine has the third largest army in Europe, and is fairly modernized having been trained and equipped by the west since 2014.

Yet, with just 150,000 troops, some of which are still relaxing in Belarus, Russia have sliced up the country into bits and have it's major cities besieged with most of the Uki forces in the east almost completely defeated. It controls the entire seacoast of Ukraine, which no longer have a navy. It has superior air control, destroyed Ukrainian defenses and can launch standoff missiles deep into any part of Ukraine at will. cool Even some truth-speaking US military experts (not the ediots that work to satisfy the narrative of their paid Lamestream media brainwashing machines) have confessed that this Russian fighting style is a problem for US military planners. cool

Read and learn:
https://consortiumnews.com/2022/03/23/pentagon-drops-truth-bombs-to-stave-off-war-with-russia/

Facts don't lie. cool

I don't think you have a clue what the word "neocons" means. It likely is a word you've heard used in US media and you're simply regurgitating it without a thought. For the first time in over 20 years, the US is not at war anywhere in the world... so just who are the "neocons" who have hijacked the Biden foreign policy? There "appears to be a rift between the state department and the pentagon"? Any proof for this meritless and utterly delusional statement?

Can you mention just 1 "neocon" in the Biden administration?



It will end up in thermonuclear war the day Russia deploys chemical/biological or nuclear weapons. Russia will cease to exist by the time the dust settles. People like you will still continue carrying water for a malevolent dictator.
I don't even know what to say to you. When did the US ran out of Afghanistan, 20 years ago or just recently?

What are US soldiers still doing in Syria? Guiding tomatoes or technically still at war with the Syrian government forces, actively stealing their oil.

Lmao. It's the neocons that have goaded Biden into making this strategic mistake it has made with the Ukraine crisis. This has caused an ongoing disagreement between the State Department and the Pentagon. Get off your MSM lying machines. Get real facts elsewhere. You're being lied to.

No, it's when ediots like your slave masters who caused this problem for Ukraine ventured into this war that Russia would strike with it's Hypersonic nuclear glide vehicles at such that they won't even have time to say their prayers before they get incinerated.

Don't bother replying me. I don't deal with people with slave mentality.

NOETHNICITY:
I've always known Biden has an evil agenda in Ukraine. Trump actually warned about the Biden family having more than an obvious agenda in Ukraine. That the Biden family was neck deep in ukrainian corruption. But we (including myself) thought he (Trump) was out to witch-hunt the Biden family for obvious political reasons. The truth is gradually coming out.

Funny enough CNN or BBC will not report this.
These westerners don't even know what they playing with trying to arm ukraine with bioweapons against Russia

If I was Putin I would have bombed all the cites of the bioweapons.
Remembering how I ardently supported this Biden against Trump makes me feel like throwing up
Don't throw up my brother. I must confess I admire your courage to admit you were once misled to believe the wrong. Such is life, we learn everyday especially if we chose to learn.

For this sinful act of wickedness, if Russia doesn't capture Zelensky like a fowl for daring to harbor enemy bioweapon against Russia, I would be very disappointed with Putin. That man needs to be taught a severe lesson.

No wonder Biden is crying in Poland grin that Putin must not remain in power. But I am very sure Putin would outlive Biden in power.

Appleyard it's been long o. grin
I cite you my brother. cool Long time no see. cool

That Biden rant in Poland got to me. The man was practically crying because they knew that there is nothing they can do to Russia anymore. cool

When he said Russia has made "a strategic mistake", truth is it was the Biden's maladministration that comitted a strategic mistake with the way they responded to Russia. He is not only giving out state secrets anytime he opens his mouth to speak, his administration has effectively set in motion the collapse of the petrol dollar and the dawn of a new era, one with limited American influence on the global scale. The frustration is so glaring that he cried and may have just revealed another secret about possible US plot to topple Putin.

Unfortunately for the old man, he is dealing with a country that has one of the best spy agencies in the world, and led by one of the most experience spies ever to grace the espionage world. So Putin is two steps ahead of him.

In a way, I feel sorry for him because it's glaring that he is not in control of his foreign policy. The neocons have hijacked it and there appear to be a rift between the state department, the Pentagon and Biden himself according to insiders.

Whatever, we are in for a long ride, one which we hope doesn't lead to thermonuclear warfare. cool

FYI
Very wrong analysis.
Did the Russians tell you their second phase is Kyiv or the protection of Donbass??
See who can't understand anything in the news making beer parlour analysis on Nairaland. Many of you here are so brainless with the poorest thinking faculty.
The Russians that were only planning the use of chemical and biological weapons to achieve their military objacives but after the severe warning of retaliation from NATO they've given up on their original invasion plans to make the new announcement. Their heads are beginning to reset.
As if they couldn't protect the Donbass without an invasion.
Your thinking the Russians care about the Ukrainian civilian population is so dumb and from your shitty brain. The population they've been deliberately targeting and planning to wipe with chemical weapons?
You know nothing about Russia's history and barbarism!!
The Russian military is decimated in Ukraine. Only Idiots like you can't see that.
Lmao. Another zombified western bot sighted. Sorry, did you receive any evidence of Russia planning to use chemical or biological weapons in a war where they got the enemy besieged? Free yourself from MSM brainwashing reporting. You're being influenced by one of the greatest Psy-ops ever. cool

Same way they decieved simpletons like you that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

Tell me about Russian barbarism and I will tell you about American barbarism.

Yes, the Russians cares about Ukraine, even Formal US military top brass and current Pentagon officials have confessed that the Russians were being lenient and mindful of Ukraine's civilian population. Majority of the civilian infrastructures targeted directly were being used by Ukrainian army to launch attack against Russian troops. They were using civilians as human shields. But since you have your head buried deep in MSM propanganda, you couldn't dig around to find the truth.

Of course, the Russian army has been decimated in Ukraine, yet your lovely comedian president is asking for a no fly zone, NATO involvement and all that. You and Zelensky must be the definition of irony. cool

I redeem your mind and brain from western MSM zombification now and forever.

Amen. cool

Pierocash:
Gas scarcity don they reset their brain
grin grin They have exhausted their leverages and now stylishly looking for how to get back on track since the sanctions is hitting them way too much than it's affecting Russia at the moment. grin grin

Sanctions are like a kid's scratched fingermarks on the back if the country involved is one that is energy independent, agriculturally self-reliant, produces a good proportion of its own medicines and Health needs, and has advanced technology. Once you have these things, make the whole of Europe and America sanction you, it would just be like a scratch because you have the basic things that survives a country. America sanctioned Russian oil import, Biden is still looking for replacement and whom to cushion the rising cost of oil in his country while Russians are enjoying even lesser prices and India quickly stepped in to buy 6 million barrels in two purchases. Who lose? cool

The EU have not even seen anything yet. Ordinary small rise in gas prices and protest are already hitting many European cities. To cushion the effect, some EU states governments are now paying people extra for the increase in gas prices. But how long can they sustain it given that it is also affecting other commodities now.

Wait until their payment to Gazprom will be due, and they refused to pay in the Rubles as demanded by Putin. If Russia turns off the tap, na then you go see real riots and smashing of buildings in Europe. It would be worst than what happened in Khazastan early this year. They are sensing it already hence the tacit shift in policy.

Meanwhile Poland is planning some form of peacekeeping intervention towards the west of Ukraine, and the Russians have said that if it move a bit even by 10 meters into Ukraine, it would destroy the Polish forces with unprecedented force.

At the same time, Belarusian forces are poised to enter the fray, targeting the same western area of Ukraine that Poland is eyeing.

I can't believe Russia can be so shameless with lies just in the same way they lied about the invasion.
They couldn't make progress or realize any of their military objectives after one month of war whereas they have only lost 1,300 out of 150,000.
Why are they inviting fighters from other countries if their army is still intact?
Out of the 1,300 dead include 6 of their 20 generals they went to war with.
they have lost merely 0.87% of their army but more than 20% of their generals??
They have decimated the Ukrainian army yet the Ukrainians are presently on the offensive, retaking key towns.
The Russians that are now building defensive positions to protect themselves are here lying to their zombie followers.
Lmao. So you bought into the counter offensive and claiming towns lie. cool

The Russians are actually baiting and drawing the Ukis out to come on the offensive, so that civilian populations would be safe. But once they came out, then boom. This was the tactics they used recently when they lure the Uki army away from Kiev and deep by some kilometers into the outskirts of Kiev. The towns they told you they claimed are places where they suffered huge casualties after they took the bait.

Now, they are refusing to advance any further.


FYI, first military objective have now been achieved. Azov battalion and ultra nationalists in the Donbass region have been destroyed. That region is gone forever.

Next is Kiev where shells are already fallen.

Russian has not even declared war on Ukraine. Russian rolled out old military hardware but was able inflict great damage on Ukrainian military, to be extent that Ukraine no longer has a Navy. I don't need to remind you that Ukraine is the third largest military in Europe and relatively modern.

You guys think too emotionally and sentimentally. If Russia can do this with old military weapons and not even being in war mode, ask yourself what would happen in a total war?

On the contrary, what's happening will tell other nations, the true state of the Russian War Machine. This is not something to played with.

And yes, soldiers die in war. This is not new.

Ask yourself, if Russia lost 1300 soldiers, how much did Ukraine loose then?
They know better than Pentagon which says the Russians have been conducting methodical warfare that did not even make use of 30% of it's military might. As for Ukraine, it has lost only 1300 soldiers when members of the AZOV battalion in Mariupol who were decimated recently after failing to surrender were 14,500, with just a few left. Pictures of dead Azov soldiers everywhere in different buildings in Mariupol. They were hiding in civilian infrastructures but the Russians bombed them to hell refusing to take any prisoner.

But, as you know in the west, the Ukrainians have killed more Russians. The way some folks reason is pathetically shameful.

I have refused to pay attention to msm all these while cos they have been reporting a hoard of lies about the situation in Ukraine. When the Russians say something, they provide video evidence to back them up. I have 100s of videos on my phone from the war in Ukraine. Unfortunately for the Ukrainian side, they hardly post factual video evidence to back up their stories. Most times, they use visuals from video games(just like the ghost of Kiev story that the whole world bought into).

Add all these together is it up to $22tn? These are trade credits, mostly short term. The majority of the debt who borrows the United states? How can China borrow US dollars when China's currency is Yuan for instance?

Why can't US just print dollars to pay these creditors off? You think the US cannot do that? Infact do you think they dont?
US can't just print dollars to pay off it's debt. The reason is simple. The dollars belong to them, so when it goes out and fulfill the purpose why it was printed, it will eventually have to finds it way back to the real owner again depending on the circumstances. And that's where it gets dicey. If such huge money finds its way back to the US, the inflation it would cause is something even the Devil cannot imagine. It will crash the US and global economy for real. This is why it's so important that the petrol dollar system that makes it possible for oil to be priced and sold in dollars continue flourishing because that is what makes almost all nation to keep dollar stack up in their reserve, which in turn props up the dollar and makes it strong and resilient to fluctuating indices from elsewhere, including America's own economic failure. What it means in essence is that the petrol dollar scheme makes it relatively possible for the Federal Reserve to print money from thin air because the petrol scheme serve as it's backbone as it ensures the movement and use or such money. To put it candidly, the greatest product america exports is the dollar. And that is why they will never tolerate anyone going against that scheme.

Saddam Hussein tried it and was killed for it. The weapon of mass destruction they were talking about was Saddam selling oil without Dollar which was a bad precedent that MUST be eliminated quickly. Then came Qaddaffi who wants to phase out the dollar from oil trade and lead the rest of Africa to free itself from the monetary slavery schemes of the west through a proposed creation of the African Gold Dinar. That same year, France who was printing Cephas for francophone countries and the US and their NATO led criminal cabal created a color coded revolution in Libya, and under the guise of protecting democracy protesters, they went in and bombed Libya and killed Qaddafi.

However, the irony of this moment is that the US weaponizing the dollar against other nations have bitten more than it can shew, and the current sanctions placed on Russia is awakening other nations to take note and have gradually started the process of moving away from the dollar. Once Russia starts this process, which currently is in motion, it is game over because many other nations would follow, meaning the trillions of Dollars out there in the world would have to find their way back to the original owner, which means unprecedented excess money in circulation and a massive US inflation from hell. This stark reality is the reason some members of the Federal Reserves were angry that the Biden administration did not consult them before taking this crazy actions against Russia.

They have the right to be angry because, should Russia succeed with the de-dollarisation ( which is certain unless the US reverse course, which I doubt they would because you have ediots running the show on behalf of Biden) there is absolutely nothing the US can do to stop it because it can't topple the Russian government like it did Iraq and Libya (unless of course, they have already made plans for WW3). And once that happens, it would become a precedent and other nations who are tired of US bullying would follow suit, hiding in the back of Russia and it's nuclear umbrella. Even if the US wants to stop the trend, how many nations can they fight at a go? undecided

As we can see, the possibility of WW3 is still very much real either way. We need to pray and hope that the saner heads prevail against the neocons and greedy capitalists bastard running the show in the west.

India for the second time has purchased Russian oil since the sanction began, and it's already discussing plans to pay in Rubles. It's shocking that it's the US that have set the de-dollarisation process in motion this time.

Interesting but dangerous times ahead. cool

huptin:
Can i ask a question? This $30tn you mentioned as debt, who did America borrow it from? Remember that the US owns the dollar? How can a country borrow its own currency from elsewhere?

The concept of America's debt is very different, do not take it at the surface level.
Lmao. Don't tell me you're one of those who believe the nonesense that the US own itself the debt? undecided

As we can see, it's becoming obvious that there is currently a fight between the US MoD, the President, the Congress and the MSM over the next actions to take concerning Ukraine. Maybe I am exagerating a bit but they feel the dangers of escalating this any further. So some sane heads in the Pentagon is given out these truth pieces so that those who are underestimating Russia's military might would perhaps realise how blindly they have been lied to and goaded into their eternal destruction. cool
