Dec 2014

The West is trying to make their stupid sanction moves seem effective. It's hurting Europe more than Russia. Ask their farmers. Ask the French shipbuilders. Sanctions are an act of war but no one in this stupid country objects. When everyone knows its the The West whose been living off their credit cards for decades. We're the ones about to fall.

They wanted Russia to sell their gold.

They're not selling.

They and China are still buying gold in anticipation of the GREAT COLLAPSE!

- It's really kind of funny how people here think that a couple of weeks of low oil prices is going to bring Russia to it's knees. When in truth, it is the West lives on its knees but don't know it because its the only view most have ever seen......
