Hmmm. Didn't Mr Sadam Hussain stop selling oil using the petrodollar?
Don't think Mr Putin will be so easy to remove from power somehow.
All 'good things' must come to an end...........

I fully agree. Not even because occupations of foreign lands NEVER lasts, it is because Russians are Russians and their "Motherland" is a belief among them that will out spirit any religion, government or monetary system. They are similar to Canadians but more ancient and unburdened with pleasantries. I think it has to do with living above the 49th parallel. If you don't, you won't understand.
I wish Canada and Russia would team up. The rest of the world requires hand-outs to survive and should be placed according in order.
Seeing how much Canada relies on America for it's economy this will never happen. If America were to stop buying Canada's oil how long do you think it would take before Canada's economy would collapse?

And he huffed...and he puffed...but he couldn't blow the world's reserve currencies door down.And exactly who else is going to deal with rubles and damage their relations with the west?
Those in Europe and Asia that want food, water and energy? By "relation with the west" you mean extortion from the west. Right?
Can someone remind me what the US Israel and Britain are bringing to the table? What services do they offer the other 7/8 of the planet. I am scratching my head on this one.edit on 30-3-2014 by MALBOSIA because: (no reason given)
You mean besides corn, soybeans and wheat? America leads the world in corn and soybeans and comes in third when it comes to wheat. What does Canada lead the world in maple syrup?

New Delhi - At a meeting of the world's 5 leading emerging economies, many issues were raised including stepping away from the Dollar as a reserve currency and reform of the IMF. Humanitarian aid to Syria was also discussed.
RT advises that the 4th BRICS summit wrapped up in India on Thursday. The world's 5 leading emerging economies were represented at the summit - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
Among the many subjects discussed by the leaders were the creation of an alternative global lender and dropping the U.S. Dollar as a reserve currency. The leaders believe that institutions like the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the World Bank have now "outlived their usefulness" and the creation of a alternative global lender would be the way to go.

I share your frustration. Too bad Layton didn't make it to tje finish line before the cancer took him (Ill save you from my paranoid theory on that one) I think the banks would have had a hard time putting him under their thumb. He was principled. I cannot find the clip that shows him explaining that we never should have stopped borrowing from the Bank of Canada in '93(ish) in favour of commercial banks that keep the interest rather than put it back into the coffers. Total robbery. $160,000,000 a day problem. and nobody even looks at it.
