I suggest the Ukraine money laundering operation has completely corrupted you.

Yeah, I got a couple of pallets of bundled hundred dollar bills that Zelensky gave me sitting under a tarp in my deceptively modest suburban bungalow in Florida. I’d love to spend those millions from Ukraine freely but eagle-eyed sorts like you are onto me.

How long would the war have lasted without the $250,000,000,000 the District of Criminals sent them?

Are you saying Japan was right to attack us? They were going too anyway.

On the whole, I see paying Ukraine and helping them blow up the invading Russian military as an investment. And the Chinese seeing Russian assets seized offers an object lesson as to what will happen to their wealth if they attack Taiwan or otherwise get too frisky. The world is a harsh place and it helps to keep peace and order if the bad guys get beaten up occasionally when they get out of line.

China used to hold alot of U.S. Debt. I suppose we could stop paying interest as well as the principal back at maturity.

So you admit, just like Linda Graham, that the Ukraine proxy war is about stealing Ukraine's vast natural resources.

Thanks for your honesty at last.

True, but for China, it is worse than that because the US can seize Chinese financial and physical assets abroad and blockade or interdict their exports and imports. The US can also insist on repayment of old Chinese railroad bonds that the CCP has mostly avoided paying on.

$1.6 billion? What’s that? About 10 hours of debt accumulation in the U.S., 1% of Elon Muck’s bank account? Enough to purchase a Happy Meal with an apple pie for every Russkie? Apparently Russian exposure is quite low, even for a third tier economic power.

Bill’s Commentary:

“It’s a huge deal! My first thought on this is; it tells me Russia/BRICS are ready to release their new currency. If they were not ready for this, Russia would never cut themselves off from the financial “West”. I believe this is a clear sign! On the “coincidental” side, the 50yr agreement between the US and Saudi Arabia just expired, did this have anything to do with the timing?”

In a shocking and devastating move, Russia’s Moscow Stock Exchange has immediately suspended all trading in U.S. dollars and euros, delivering a major blow to the U.S. currency.”

No, the point of keeping the Russians out is that Ukraine gets to keep their freedom and their territory and their natural resources. For Ukraine, the development of and earnings on those resources provides a way to prosper and to pay the US and NATO back in whole or in part -- and to steal Russia's natural resource markets in the West.

Calling that "stealing from Ukraine" is about the same as saying that the world stole Saudi Arabia's oil by finding it, developing it, and showering wealth on Saudi Arabia in return.

Yeah, that's why the Bidens, Clintons, Romneys, Soroses, Nulands, etc. have so much invested there.

All eyes on Brics….the US’s loss of the Petro Dollar status has signaled the USD decline. For all the doubting Thomas’s , get back with us after the Brics Summit.

We have just entered a new world, one where the US becomes irrelevant….thanks Joe.

I get the feeling we are being pushed into war with Russia. The fear of nukes is gone and the Neo-Cons believe Russia will never use them. This iis my take—
1. Biden will be replaced by a cool looking Democrat, maybe of color. A Congressman or woman, a former Governor or war hero.
2. Trump will be “taken out” one way or another —a JFK solution is looking possible.
3. Before the CW II can start—Push us into WW III to distract the population.
4. After election turn to UN (or China) to end the war. Sell out Ukraine and sign a treaty with Russia. Democratic rule for 100 years (so they think).

They know they are going to lose the election and the entire economic house of cards they have built is about to collapse. They can’t win the game, so they are going to overturn the board with a world war, and if it is nuclear so much the better for their deranged “build back better” agenda.

From what I understand, 25% of Russia’s currency is backed by gold. I wonder if the EU plans on confiscating gold reserves too. The ruble is still worth a penny but Russia keeps chugging along. I read that 70% of the U.S dollar is backed by gold. That’s more than I thought but is it too much to require 100%?

Our currency left the gold backing in 1972….Nixon removed us from a gold backed currency.Secondly, all nations of the EU are buying gold by the tonnage.
The Basel agreements state Gold physical is a Tier One asset.

It took Germany six years to repatriate their gold from the US- we do not have what they say we have.
