Putin will take over the planet without war

Foreign media are increasingly inclined to think that Russia does not need to fight to achieve its strategic goals. There is no need to bullet nuclear missiles in the direction of the United States, Poland should not be trampled down with kirzacs, you should not spend a whole week on the seizure of Sweden and another two weeks on the war with Finland. Even a petition for the return of Alaska is not needed. The world is about to surrender to Russia. Raise paws in front of tricky Putin.



I. Fear America!

On the Polish resource "Blogpublika" appeared an article by Adam Petrasevich in which it is fascinating to explain why the king will soon begin to rule Russia quite royally. And she for this and the war is not required.

Before turning to the review, we recall that the West is now talking about new sanctions against Russia. However, in the EU countries, not all support the sanctions ideas of Barack Obama. Nevertheless, Washington is going to introduce tough restraining measures against the Russian leading industrial sectors. However, while this is only talk. For some reason, the author of an article on a Polish resource believes that it is Washington that does not allow punishing Russia.

Petrasevich wondered: why few people explain why the United States does not allow to impose serious sanctions against Russia? And to himself (and at the same time to the readers) he gives the answer: Russia is the second oil producer in the world, and also it has weapon, which the Americans can only respond with a nuclear strike. It turns out that Washington "has NO ANY (capital letters of the original. - O. Ch.) Non-military means of pressure on Russia."

The journalist reminds that the United States exists for as long as their dollar acts as a world reserve currency, and at the same time and, of course, the calculated currency. The US provides itself with high incomes by printing petrodollars, which are always in demand. But this situation may change. The journalist cites as an example the opposition to the dollar supremacy of Iraq, and then of Libya. Hussein decided to trade for the euro, and Gaddafi thought about gold dinars. What is the result? Both countries have been eliminated.

But with Russia this trick will not work, the Polish author believes. She is a toughie.

Moscow has a weapon that can destroy the United States. No, Petrasevich does not mean nuclear missiles at all. Moscow can simply announce that it is starting to trade oil for rubles. Yes, albeit for a different currency, but not for dollars. Russia is already on the way to such deals: it has announced that it will buy five hundred thousand barrels of oil from Iran a day by barter. If Russia starts selling all of its oil, as well as gas, for another currency, then hundreds of billions of dollars will go home to the United States. “And then,” the author exclaims, “Americans will taste hyperinflation, such as it was in the Weimar Republic at the beginning of the 20 of the 20th century.” And that's what will happen to the planet:



And another quote:



Petrasevich makes the following conclusion. Russia will receive economic power in the world. This state is capable of functioning in autarky, and its citizens are not too demanding. They do not believe in democracy, they are accustomed to tough royal power. Therefore, Russia has every chance of becoming a “peaceful haven” - on that unpleasant day when “the world economy will collapse.”

Amen.

Ii. Teeth and cars rise in price

The site "Quartz" April 14 released material by Jason Karayan called "Russia has a secret weapon against the West, and it is not oil, not gas and not nuclear missiles."

Comrade Karayan recalls that energy markets have recently become a bit volatile due to the "outbreak of violence in Ukraine and the war of words between Russia and the West."

According to the author, both parties to the conflict play a “pipe policy”, accompanied by rhetoric full of threats and counter-threats. In fact, the world's largest energy suppliers and consumers threaten each other. As a result, even the coolest traders are scared.

From the analyst did not hide, and something else, except for oil and gas. Traders are sounding the alarm: the price of palladium has reached a maximum level for the last 3 of the year. And again, talking about Russia.

After all, this country is the world's largest supplier of this metal, which is an important component for catalytic converters in automobiles, capacitors in electronics, for jewelry, and finally, for dental crowns — and much more.

West threatens to impose severe sanctions against Russia because of Ukraine? Well, Russia can respond to this with its own trade restrictions — it can easily restrict the export of palladium. This will be a more sensitive blow than a ban on entry into the country, imposed on some high-ranking Western officials, and at the same time not be as provocative as an embargo on the supply of oil or gas.

“Palladium policy” can be successful for Russia also because the miners go on strike in South Africa (this country is the second largest producer of palladium in the world). Almost 80 thousand miners began to strike in January. They have not gone to work to this day. Disputes in South Africa are over salary.

Russia and South Africa own more than 75% of the world's palladium reserves. Meanwhile, in 2013, the global demand for palladium (25,4 thousand tons) exceeded supply (23 thousand tons).

It is not clear what Russia will do. But it is known that the price of palladium this year rose in the spot market by 13%, and its further growth is predicted, the author of the material indicates. This may seem strange, but a dispute over Ukraine may affect prices in European car dealerships and in American dental clinics.

Now, let us add, when an American citizen comes to a dentist, he will surprise him with a double price. And when a citizen becomes indignant, an enlightened dentist will explain to him that the Russians are to blame for everything.

Iii. Shaky indices

Renowned analyst Jerome R. Corsi published a few days ago on "WND" An article entitled "As soon as Russia gives up the US dollar, the stock will go down."

Last Friday, the stock market reeled. The analyst is confident that a politically motivated attack by Russia on petrodollars could cause the largest collapse of the stock market, which will occur against the background of a global loss of confidence in the dollar, already low due to the Federal Reserve. The result of Russian actions could be hyperinflation in the United States.

On Friday, in the stock market, the Nasdaq index fell 54,37 points (1,3 percent), to a value of 3999,73. (Incidentally, the fall was recorded for the third day in a row.) The Dow fell 143,47 points, or 0,9 percent, to 16026,75. Finally, the Standard & Poor's 500 fell 17,39 points, or 1 percent, to 1815,69.

USA Today reports that investors are nervous. In the previous week, the Nasdaq was down 3,1 percent, the worst since November 2011. The S&P 500 fell 4 percent from its April 2 all-time high and 1,8 percent below its annual average. The Dow lost 3,3 percent from a record high of December 31, 2013 (16576,66).

Economist Peter König, a former World Bank employee, warned last week that Russia was going to abandon petrodollars, which she used as trade units for oil and gas operations. But the Russian trade in hydrocarbons is estimated at about a trillion dollars annually!

Who came up with such a terrible plan - to abandon the petrodollar?

The main supporters of this plan are Sergey Glazyev, an economic adviser to the Russian president, and Igor Sechin, the general director of Rosneft, the largest Russian oil company and a close ally of Vladimir Putin. This was reported by the radio station "Voice of Russia" 4 April. The named persons support replacement of dollar in calculations by ruble. Some other Russian high-ranking officials are also promoting this plan.

Jerome R. Corsi also recalls that, according to Reuters, Russia and China are already close to completing the deal, under the terms of which Gazprom will supply China with 38 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year. Currency - dollar? Well no. Calculations will be made in Russian rubles, Chinese yuan (or, possibly, in gold).

The economic blog ZeroHedge.com reported that Putin thanked China for supporting Russia's position on the Crimea.

Jerome R. Corsi also writes about the upcoming Russian deal with Iran (barter: 500000 barrels of Iranian oil per day in exchange for Russian goods).

The era of dollar depreciation is coming. Economist John Williams, editor of ShadowStats.com, warned that the Federal Reserve's policy to continue quantitative easing (QE) has undermined the credibility of the dollar in the world.

WND already wrote that Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen announced in March 2014 of the year that the Federal Reserve System has not done everything needed to combat unemployment even after maintaining interest rates at around zero for more than five years, and continues to participate in the policy of quantitative easing. Yellen's words were interpreted by investors as an indication to the Federal Reserve that she would continue to buy up US government debt.

The aforementioned John Williams warned that with such a policy, the federal government and the Federal Reserve would be squeezed in with their own destructive fiscal and monetary policies. As a result, confidence in the world and in the country against the dollar will be completely destroyed. According to the scientist, inflation in the United States by the end of 2014 could reach 90%. Amid dollar depreciation, gold will become the main means of payment.

Iv. "Death of money"

Not only observers, analysts and traders are sounding the alarm. The collapse of the current international monetary system is devoted to a new book by James Rickards, "The Death of Money", about which рассказал in "The Week" by John Aziz.

The demand for dollars leads to the fact that the international monetary system benefits the United States.

The dollar is a means of settlement on the international energy markets. And the United States, unlike other states, will never run out of dollars. The dollar-headed currency system creates a steady US debt market. The global demand for dollars allows the US government, US companies and individuals to borrow at a lower rate. They win on this annually, according to some estimates, 100 billions of dollars.

But what next? Rickards draws a bleak future.

The scientist believes that the current methods of the monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve are only props supporting the parasitic financial sector. According to Rickards, "the parasitic behavior of bankers, manifested as a result of a cultural phase transition, is fully characteristic of a society that is approaching its collapse."

The dollar is doomed: “The Federal Reserve cannot understand that making money can be an irreversible process. At some point, confidence in a currency can be undermined and cannot be restored in any way; in its place there will have to be another, completely new system. ”

Rickards is confident that "a future war is a financial war." Modern wars will encompass “a broader theater of operations that includes stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, and derivative financial instruments.”

Rickards points to the danger that hedge funds under Chinese or Russian management will begin to get rid of dollars and US bonds with the intention to provoke a financial crisis in the United States.

V. Meanwhile in Russia ...

16 April in the media appeared interesting economic news.

Russia imports products into 335 billion dollars a year, and exports amount to about half a trillion dollars. According to the Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, A. Ulyukayev, his ministry, together with the Ministry of Industry and Trade, is selecting projects for import substitution. The idea is to replace foreign products with domestic ones. And the possibility of such a replacement exists. "BFM" cites the opinion of Yevgeny Nadorshin, Chief Economist at Sistema. According to him, one should concentrate on deeper processing of Russian raw materials.



True, there is one "but." Russian companies prefer not to do this: work in these niches requires a smooth process.



Minister Ulyukayev also urged to invest the National Wealth Fund not in dollars and euros (as is done today), but in infrastructure projects.

Finally, the Crimean issue was also covered from the economic point of view. Alexey Ulyukayev said that a law was being prepared on the creation in Crimea of ​​a special economic zone - a territory with tax and customs privileges.



These are the modern wars, we add in conclusion. So far, bloggers and third-rate media are talking about the coming nuclear war, economists have already calculated all versions of the future - from squeezing the dollar out of international calculations to import substitution projects in Russia. And you no occupation of Poland, Finland, the Baltic countries and the bombing of Wall Street.

It seems that the time is right for the people of the United States to compose a petition for the “electronic government” site. Its content may be something like this:

“Dear Mr. Barack Obama, Nobel Peace Prize winner! Please forget about the Crimea. Do not scare the Russians, and especially their Tsar Putin, with various sanctions. Do not tease the bear. Let Putin sells his gas, his oil and his palladium. Let him sell them - because he sells them for our dollars. With each transaction, we become a little richer, and the Fed can continue to work paper wonders. Mr Obama! Don't make a bankrupt out of your homeland. Or were you really born in Kenya? ”
