So listening to Saturday's Show this morning the topic of US creating an arms race again and trying to bankrupt Russia like they did in the 80s is very true. Especially since the Russian economy was stiill VERY commodities heavy in the 80s too. But here's what a lot of people forget. We essentially bribed countries around the world to turn their back to them. How you might ask? Well a number of things. The first biggest one was actually SUPPLYING energy commodities to them in the firat place.(1)
Additionally they contiue to make moves to not be a major supplier on the world stage. Obviously they want this for the west, but it seems to be that they fail to realize that you need those things for Global Power. You nees to be a core to inputs world wide. It's how Russia regained relevancy despite all their issues, and also worked with smart finacing to shield themselves from harsher issues like Demographics. They're certainly going to be much richer when a coalition currency group forms.
