just saw the Russian CB news
this has big implications
it signals a new direction for exporting nations
Russia exports oil & gas, and strategic metals
to publicly state official intention to expand gold holding represents a severe political risk, visavis the USA
they dont state it, but they will purchase more gold
Russian private citizens and mafia alike are loading up on gold

I believe we are on the cusp of pan-Asian slowmo abandonment of USTBonds
they realize the risk to the banking systems
fully 75% of world reserves are sitting in banks as USTBonds
this is utterly and indisputably insane
it is the result of economic and military blackmail by USA leaders

the trend will soon emerge for banks to shed TBonds
otherwise they risk suffering on bank deposit requirements
the fractional banking system is like margin debt to stockholders
if you are not careful during a decline, your bank is killed

last bank holding excess TBonds dies !!!
last nation shedding most excess TBonds crumbles !!!
just like Argentina
