Russian sanctions.

What I am interesting in is the possible effect of Russia's retaliation in the
financial world. Is it substance or just puff? Can you answer that question?
Or can anybody on this board answer that question?

Of course it is a real threat and their BRICS partners are in agreement of their response to a threat of sanctions against Russia. If China dumps our debt our position of world reserve currency is over. That is what I have been saying since I got here but some would rather play childish games. I have to assume they have nothing to lose. I do.

China agrees with Russia with respect to an armed invasion of its neighbor. Imagine that.

Feckin' shill.

What you see depends on where you stand.

In your opinion can it (effect of Russian financial retaliation) occur as stated by the Russian.

I'd say "as threatened by the Russians" (and passed along by willing accomplices like S(h)amm). I think any such effort by the Russians would have far greater negative impacts upon their economy than ours or the world's in general. Their economy and their currency are both basket cases. That's why they (and their shills) are making such threats. It's all they got.

It's often said that they're a Third World economy with a First World army.

With BRICS holding the majority of our debt the "leaders" of this country have easily put us in a position of economic collapse globally.

That is the kind of answer I am hoping to get from you.

However I do not think China is going to dump our debt for now.
China is too dependent on our market at this time.

We are no longer the valuable consumer we once were. It has continued to go down steeply into 2014 but I don't have the updated chart on file.

That means that if there is effective control and will they can easier sustain
assault on the economy.

Currency devaluation is disastrous if you are extremely import dependent.
Russia is huge. This is a chance for the Russians to develop internally.

By definition you fall to this category as well.
