#3 The dominoes we have heard about for many years. South Korea soon to follow Taiwan. Vietnam and India have to be a little nervous now. Even Japan.

#4 "Hal Turner Editorial Remarks

In one fell swoop, Russia just made the Russian Ruble the single most stable currency in the entire world.

Moreover, they just fucked the US Dollar and the EURO so badly, neither currency is likely to survive.

Nobody around the world will favor a US dollar, backed by nothing, from a nation $30 TRILLION in debt, versus a gold-backed Ruble."

#6 "Depends" is the answer. Most Eurocentric historians see the invasion of Poland as the start. Others see it starting in 1937 with the Marco Polo bridge incident and invasion of China.

This may be the slow burning fuse start until something else happens and drags in more than just 3 nations.

#7 Back to the gold standard. Gee, which nation has tonnes of gold? And vast reserves of nearly every other precious metal and major commodity?

Oh shit...

#9 Look at the current money supply vs the amount of US gold reserves. It's a nice idea, but the numbers are off some...

#11 American gold? A good question. A quick google yields this, from Trading Economics:

Gold Reserves in the United States increased to 8133.50 Tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2021 from 8133.47 Tonnes in the third quarter of 2021. source: World Gold Council

From the same site about Russia:

Gold Reserves in Russia increased to 2298.53 Tonnes in the third quarter of 2021 from 2292.31 Tonnes in the second quarter of 2021. source: World Gold Council

Apparently America also has a huge stash of other countries’ gold reserves in the vaults of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, but the internet reports Russia has kept her gold in vaults at home.
