(Kitco News) – The Central Bank of Russia (CBR) shocked international markets and their own financial institutions on Thursday when it announced that China’s yuan would replace the U.S. dollar as the benchmark for all currency trades in the country.

The announcement was one of several issued by the CBR during a frantic day of activity that saw the Moscow Exchange (MOEX) suspend trading in dollars and euros following a new series of U.S. sanctions in response to Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

Major moves don’t get a lot of attention. So called western media does a real disservice to its citizenry

I’m sure Brandon losing the “Petro Dollar” agreement has nothing to do with this. /s

The bedrock of US strategic relations since Nixon was “do not drive Russia and China together.” Kissinger and Brzezinski (who especially was not a friend of Russia) warned this constantly.

This was US strategic fear even when China was militarily and economically weak.

US neocons, the MIC and their Democrat friends abandoned this policy at a time when China has become a peer economic, military and technological power, and Russia has reformed and recovered from its post-Soviet collapse.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

The leftie outrages in the NYC courts and seizing Russian assets is not going to inspire a lot of international confidence in doing business with the US, or in holding dollars.

All of this is rooted in the stolen election of 2020.

The petrodollar ended, Russia and China working closely, Russia adopted the Yuan to settle trade, the BRICS getting close to launching a gold backed currency, the brink of world war, inflation, free speech suppressed, 15 million invaders poured over the open border, shortages, mass arrest of the opposition, and America has become the epicenter of perversion.

All from a stolen election and women voting for baby killing and transsexualism.

And those women are going to get everything they deserve when the collapse comes. There will be no where to turn for help when Sugar Uncle Sam is dead. All the Rat cities will be in flames. It will be glorious.

Years ago I posted here we needed to team up with Russia before Russia teamed up with China against us. Of course, flak.

I grew up on beans and rice and cornbread... maybe a cut up onion and fried potatoes on the table too.

I can enjoy what’s coming.

Russia and China are not natural allies for many reasons, if fact they’re more natural adversaries.

So Putin better be careful getting in bed with Xi.

But it goes to show how badly our Puppet string pullers have screwed up things. And yes that’s thanks mostly to women voters.

Proving once again that the 19th amendment wasn’t such a good idea.

So Russia is tying their fate to the Chicoms manipulated currency. This will likely not end well for Russia in many aspects.

You can add anti-semitism reaching 1930s Germany level.
