    You're quite capable of finding the information, Duesy.

    It will mean having to admit that Western MSM isn't the sole source of Truth though, so it may be uncomfortable. Be prepared for that.

    After what you russian pigs did to the people in Bucha, having your reserves "stolen" is going to feel like a walk in the park by the time this is all over. As for me, I'm done pulling my punches against you shills, you are no better than the baby killer himself.

    The stability of paper money is based on what it represents, and unlike us whose debt exceeds our resources, Russia has 78 trillion dollars worth of resources and almost no debt.

    How can anything become scarce in Russia, when they are almost self sufficient in everything? It's the world that needs Russia not the other way around. Right now Europe is suffering a shortage of bread because of our sanctions not Russia. In Germany they say that food will soon cost twice as much.

    The worse though is fertilizer, because without Russian fertilizer there will be famines in the world. This might be why only the EU, Japan and the Anglosphere are backing the sanctions. The rest of the world can't risk it.

    When the EU first imposed sanctions, Putin used the opportunity to stop all imports from the EU so Russia could develop it's own industries - which it did, especially its food industry. Today their grain exports alone exceed the US and Canada, so you're not making any sense?


    As for everything else you wrote, it's the same usual nonsense. As for gold, Russia does have gold mines, and they've been buying up massive amounts of gold in the past 8 years - as have China, India and probably the rest of the BRIC nations.

    Were they foreseeing the fall of the petrodollar? I think so!

    At least it is a source of accurate information, something that can't be said for Russian state media or the "alternative" media that so many people like to cite here, if they bother to cite anything at all.

    Oh so Buca is not a false flag instigated by Ukrainian Nazis and guided by Washington's propaganda machine to distract from their own crimes? Now who would have guessed.

    I'm an expert I say
    in flipping away
    so I can blame you,
    for whatever I do.

    And I know that I'm great
    and really first rate
    and ably, for thus fooling you.

    But little I know
    that it's not really so
    for I'm blinded and really can't see,

    That whatever I do
    and what I may construe
    is bound to fall back on me.

    He knows it, he's not stupid. He just wants others to assume the MSM's are credible because he goes along with their agenda.

    Fake News, it's being used, for international transactions, right now.
    If someone made that point, refute it to them. I made no such claim.
    Sanctions make Russian Banks largely unable to transact in Euros and Dollars, it's an effort to get paid in a currency they can use. What did you expect them to do, give their exports away?
    An assertion but I don't see your supporting argument.
    Russia seems to be making a lot of dumb decisions, but so are a lot of people. I'm hopeful that common sense will break out everywhere, without warning, but, I tend toward an optimistic outlook.

    What I do know is that Russia’s central bank is buying gold from Russian commercial banks at 5,000 rubles per gram. 5,000 rubles is worth $59.30 at the moment and a gram of gold is currently going for $62.47 so they are buying at a small discount.

    Russia is also selling at a big discount, oil for example is at about a 30% discount on a rolling 5 day average:

    [​IMG]
    A 30% haircut isn't fun, but then neither is Germany preparing to shut down manufacturing due to missing inputs from Russia.

    We're inflicting pain on one another and I expect us to be subjected to less pain than Russia, but, there could be other parts of the world that endure very real hardship.

    Hopefully they can come to ceasefire soon and negotiated peace thereafter.

    Nope. They can’t build good semiconductors, therefore can’t do any high tech. ;)

    In developed countries, bread is not a necessity. ;)

    Again, Russians can’t build modern semiconductors. They can only be as self sufficient as the technology of 1970’s can allow.
    ;)

    Yup. “Backed up by the full and credit of the Russian Government”.
    I seriously doubt anyone would trust the Russian government with their money.

    Right ... so Europe is going to invade Russia. When is this likely to happen? Did they give you an ETA?

    I'll be honest .. even I'm shocked by propaganda depths the West has sunk to. It's very disturbing.

    And so much for 'freedom and democracy' .. the very things that once made the West special.

    No, it's not. And only a stupid russian pig would ask such a dumb question. The very idea is preposterous.
