Nov 05th, 2014 - 10:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0Western kick Argentina and South America. Westerners do not fulfill the agreements signed at the UN, IMF and World Bank, criminally maintaining multilateral organizations under their power.
Westerners make war all the time, always lusting after more influence, power and energy.
Westerners are extremely selfish and seek to subjugate other peoples through economic pressures demanding that all people act and think like them.
It is time to change the world!
Can't see this. China and Russia re basically untrustworthy. Who would trust countries still aiming for world domination, more imperialism, theft of parts of free countries.

Russia wants to recover its empire.

I read the Russian article details about the proposed bill to ban the USD.
Nov 06th, 2014 - 07:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There are so many exceptions in that bill that the Russian government, in all departments, is 100% exempt. So it is intended towards sanctioning only the accounts of Russian citizens holding USD, world wide.
We've seen this before in LATAM.
