Read the entire article. It is worth your time to do so, and take seriously what the author says.<\/p>\n<p>Is it coincidence that when Biden was installed in the White House, mostly as a puppet of the Lefties, things in Eastern Europe and in the gas and oil industry began to change and the prices of what we take for granted \u2013 food, fuel, heat, medical treatment, etc. \u2013 almost immediately began to slowly fall apart? Was it a coincidence that a dangerous respiratory virus somehow found its way into our population and everywhere else on Earth shortly after Biden was elected?<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n<p>The author of the article at the link says, bluntly, that Putin won\u2019t accept payment in US dollars from now on. He wants rubles, and he wants them from everyone. The author is not soft-pedaling anything.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2022\/04\/10\/the-russia-ukraine-war-a-new-geopolitics-of-finance-and-energy-trade-emerges\/\">https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2022\/04\/10\/the-russia-ukraine-war-a-new-geopolitics-of-finance-and-energy-trade-emerges\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Before you start scratching your head over that, the US dollar is the ultimate support currency for all trade globally. \u00a0What does it really mean? Among other things, it means that if Putin succeeds in forcing payment in rubles for gas provided by GazProm, then every nation that does business with other countries may find themselves facing the same thing from other trading partners.<\/p>\n<p>Could the Chinese start to demand payment in yuan ($0.16 in US dollars) instead of US dollars? Could the entire trading system crash? Sure. Why not, for both of those questions?<\/p>\n<p>What is the excuse for gas at the pump more than doubling in price since Biden was elected? I know it\u2019s the commodities traders that drive up the base prices on things, but there is more to it than that, such as shutting down the construction of the Keystone Pipeline for no good reason, and importing oil when we sell our own to foreign countries.<\/p>\n<p>At this particular point in time, international trade is still based on a stable financial system, and the US dollar is the base of support for that system. If Putin thinks he can bring it down and benefit from it, he does not understand a hell of a lot of stuff about economics.<\/p>\n<p>Read the article It is worth your time. And while I keep harping on stocking up, I won\u2019t stop doing that.
