The Russian government paid off its debts in full many years ago (something I'm sure TBTB could not stand), and they've got plenty of natural resources and a cheap labor economy to keep them and their currency rolling. The ruble's exchange rate got REAMED in 2008ish, and still fluctuates wildly, from 25 to the dollar to where it's now 70+ to the dollar, but that's only thanks to the Westerners' SaNcTiOnS, those rulers of the fiat currencies. Also their military seems to me pretty damned strong, even if they spend so much less than us, given that our personnel costs are HUGE compared to their salaries and benes.
We're getting back to a world where Might is Right, correct? The winners ACT and TAKE, while the losers WHINE and CITE LAWS.
-USA was wrong to take out Ghadaffi, but who cares, Libya's ours, now.
-No WMDs but look, the Iraqis are democratizing!
-Russia was wrong to take Crimea, but it's hers now and they people even voted to stay in Russia
-HRC was wrong to have separate servers and then hide/destroy them, but no one's seen her emails still, right?
-those Canadian mounties WEREN'T ALLOWED to take those supplies and fuel, but they did
-Nuremberg outlaws your kid being forcibly masked, but your grandkids are wearing muzzles to school
-rioting and looting are illegal, but....BLM
-molotov cocktails are illegal, but that NYC diversity hire lawyer who molotov'ed a cop car got a slap on the wrist, because....BLM
Anyone who wants to continue this list is welcome to!!
The point is, to win people take action NOW and let the dweebs (such as the GOP) debate the lawfulness LATER.
And, Francesco, I think Russia will be much better prepared to ACT in your post-fiat world, than some Reddit and 4chan dweebs, even with their MASSIVE, coin MINING, computing capabilities.
