Bye Bye Petro$. Sad, but it has to happen. Other nations should not have to pay the US (skimming off revenue) for the “privilege” of using the US dollar in oil transactions. We should not get that money because we spend it like drunken sailors…

Personally not a gold bug, but the gold standard did enforce some type of government restraint from endless $ printing/spending. pic.twitter.com/NKexLck1Nd —…
Hi @GermanyDiplo .Your boss @ABaerbock visited the @_AfricanUnion based in one of the more than 20 African countries that Germany enjoys reciprocal diplomatic relations with. Did she come to see animals? Or is the Continent of Africa, its people & wildlife just a joke to…
Russia is making money off of these sanctions. They’ve boosted the Russian economy while harming their competitors. RT : The Sakhalin-2 liquefied natural gas (LNG) project is expected to generate twice as much revenue in 2023 compared to its earnings before the Ukraine-related sanctions rained…
