This is so astoundingly stupid. The greatest danger Russia poses to us is not invading Crimea, nor their stable of nukes, but being an instigator to drop the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
With our debt situation, this would be as bad as a tactical nuclear strike, and I am only exaggerating a little.
Therefore, pulling out to let them talk about how the once mighty Uncle (Sam) is really impotent ain’t exactly the most convincing bluff.
I am facepalming on this one.
obarry is getting beaten badly and instead of manning up he’s taking the ball and going home, only Putin is keeping the ball. obarry is in such a snit that he’s leaving empty handed.
“The greatest danger Russia poses to us is not invading Crimea, nor their stable of nukes, but being an instigator to drop the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency.”
Russia is the second biggest oil exporter and the biggest natural gas exporter in the world.
If Russia drops the dollar as world’s reserve currency, this can ignite a new, 2008 style, financial crash, both for America and the rest of the world, when we’re barely started to recover from the last one.
