Russia's next move is likely CAPITAL CONTROLS.
Their own citizens are dumping roubles for dollars.


Bloomberg

China's currency is pegged to the dollar. The US is one of their largest customers.

After all this flimsy assumption stuff, lack of links, and General BS...and ask for enlightenment...and then when people point out things to you, you get defensive and whine.


Flimsy stuff? Lack of links and General BS?
Chew on this for a while, then provide me with your argument as to why you think the article is BS. If necessary, please provide your own "links" to refute this article. Be nice.

Thanks!

Dramatic noise about nothing. It matters not which currency actually changed hands or even if it was a barter deal. What is important is the gas was still PRICED in dollars, which the Chinese currency is pegged to in order to remain stable. Think about that for a second. The Chinese are so scared to let their own currency be traded freely they pegged it to the dollar permanently. The Ruble you would need a wheelbarrow of the shite just to buy a gallon vodka, if that is you could find even a Russian that would accept it. This whole scenario belongs in the land of tin foil hats and black helicopters

There's one about 20 miles north of me that takes steel waste from area mills and makes those huge rolls of pressed steel you see on 18 wheelers.

There are 24 in Houston alone. Or do you need from some other part of Texas? There are 136 steel mills sprinkled across this great state. What kind are you needing?
