Russia Considers Banning Dollar and Euro to Halt Western Military Expansion

Sergey Glazyev calls for halting the use of NATO currencies like the dollar, euro, and pound sterling in Eurasian economies to undermine the financial foundation

english.pravda.ru

I think hitting the dollar in any way is likely to have a bigger impact then any missile killing people.

The West is always pushing embargoes and tariffs to restrict free trade and democratic governments to influence their decisions.

Always has been a gunship diplomacy when negotiating with the West.

The world is moving away towards a division between East and West anyhow. BRICS countries are increasingly gaining power whilst the colonialist West is losing unable to exploit other smaller nations as they did for 100s of years.

Currency wars better than misiles I reckon and more influential. Gets the thumbs up from me.

Personally, I'd simply like to see free trade, economics and pricing determine outcomes as to who gets what, rather than missiles and wars.

The horrifying methods Russian officers are using to torture and kill their OWN men: Refusing orders or getting wounded is punished with fights to the death, 'execution shootings' and other extreme cruelties​

Russian commanders are executing, torturing and sending to their deaths soldiers who refuse to fight in Ukraine, according to a damning new investigation that exposes a campaign of terror within Vladimir Putin's army.

Independent Russian outlet Verstka found evidence that men who disobey orders are being shot, tortured or forced into suicide missions, as commanders resort to extreme measures to stamp out dissent and stop troops retreating from the front.

The probe uncovered reports of blocking units stationed behind Russian lines to prevent retreats - with soldiers being killed by their own side if they tried to flee.

Witnesses said commanders had appointed 'execution shooters' to open fire on refusers, later dumping their bodies in shallow graves or rivers and registering them as killed in action.

In some cases, officers allegedly used drones and explosives to 'finish off' wounded or retreating soldiers, even ordering drone operators to drop grenades on their comrades to disguise the killings as battlefield strikes.

Others who disobeyed orders were thrown into pits covered with metal grates, doused with water and beaten for hours or days.

Some were reportedly forced into 'gladiator-style' fights to the death, witnesses told investigators. The fights were sometimes filmed and circulated as warnings to others.

Come on R_L - surely you don't believe what an infamous 'fact checker' says?
Of all the biased organisations out there who exist largely in order - if not solely in order - to deceive and misinform the general public - fact checkers are at the very top of the pyramid. For proof of this, in the case of Media Bias Fact Check, you have only to look at what they say about the BBC:

"Overall, we rate the BBC Left-Center biased based on story selection that slightly favors the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information. Although they have failed a fact-check, they appropriately issued a correction."

That's misinformation of the highest order right there. The only thing I trust the BBC to report accurately and without bias are football results. The last time the BBC achieved just a single day of 'factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information' was probably sometime in the mid 1980s. Decades of relentless deception have earned the organisation its nickname: British Brainwashing Corporation'!

You guys have completely missed the point. IlIlIlIlI posted ratings of Daily Mail from Media Bias which said Daily Mail was a "Questionable Source."

Being curious, I posted ratings from the the same organization about some of the sites IlIlIlIlI uses to post information about the war in Ukraine -- and they are even less factual (or more conspirational for South Front)!

So, if Media Bias is good enough to rate tabloid Daily Mail, it should be good enough to rate other sites.

I said let the RTNews.com also put forward their perspective on TV and online so people can hear both sides of the propoganda and make their own minds up.

Freedom of the press and all those nice words about human rights the West likes to put about and then demonstrates "PURE" hypocrisy by supporting Genocide and placing restrictions on journalists, coupled with bombing of hospitals and schools suddenly all legitamet.

In the early stages of the Ukraine war, when Russia blew up a tank nestled between two blocks of flats in a civilian area, it was reported as violation, Russia attacking civilian targets. Even Amnesty International came out on side of Russia.

I recognise all sides put their own point of view forward but I want to hear the debate and make up my own mind. Not be channelled by the Daily Trash or the BBC.
