Today President Obama will sign the legislation known as the Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014. This legislation enables the US to now provide "Lethal Aid" to Ukraine, in other words, give them tanks, bombs, aircraft, missiles i.e. arm them to the teeth and beginning reeducation of the Ukrainian citizen on how evil the Russian empire is.

But here is something else many people don't know. Russia has been selling its oil for Gold, although they will accept US Dollars, they turn around and purchase more gold with those dollars.

Amazingly enough, when the great ruble devaluation happened recently, Russia's gold stockpile gained in ruble value even more than the ruble lost in international value.
Other countries that have tried selling gold for anything other than US Dollars are Libya, Iran, Iraq.

Seems that when another country decides to no longer use the dollar in trade, we all of a sudden have to go to war with it because of how "Evil" they all of a sudden are. All sorts of shit flying around waiting to stick to something then.
It's beginning to look a lot like MOAR war.
