Settlements in US currency could be dropped by Russia in favor of the euro if the EU takes a stand against the latest US sanctions on Moscow, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
“As we see, restrictions imposed by the American partners are of an extraterritorial nature.

There’s even a book about the Argentinian collapse that has fueled many a prepper to get stocked up, in which Fernando Aguirre, also known as FerFal, shared the inside story.
