Patrick Armstrong's latest Sitrep below. I was particularly interested by his second item that Russia is proceeding with its de-dollarisation programme now down from 44% to 22% and replaced to some extent with Euros and Renmembi's but also larger gold holdings. Interestingly, Armstrong notes that Russia's external debt is the lowest for 10 years at $453.7 billion and notes that the US economic war is clearly failing. https://turcopolier.typepad.com/sic...ep-14-february-2019-by-patrick-armstrong.html
One of the items Armstrong linked to is the one below about how Senator Inhofe concludes that the US is now outgunned and are falling behind Russia and China in a variety of weapon systems. I'm not knowledgeable about Inhofe so have no idea if he is generally shouting alarm or simply making a pork barrel statement that will benefit his state? https://www.tulsaworld.com/homepage...cle_344a358e-f368-55c5-a7ea-dcbaa7b98348.html
