Everyone around the wold is tired of the West (US) running the show. We can't even straighten out our own finances, and allowing the dollar to depreciate, means we pay our bills with money worth less / worthless money? Soon China will have the worlds largest GDP and will be the King of the HIll! They will be calling the (international) shots. Dollar will be replaced as worlds" reserve" currency. Oil in areas of turmoil being paid for in gold and Euros to sidestep sanctions by US & allies. China buying"things" such as commodity based companies/ mining, oil and refining companies, real estate, agriculture all with US $dollars to rid their reserves from dollars and change to yuan/remnibi and Euro. Iraq was going to do that and look what happened to Saddam Hussain. Weapons of Mass Destruction, WMD's ? What WMD's? Hussain was going to weaken the US dollar by not trading its oil for Dollar$. Oust the rigime !! We did. Now Iran is doing the same. Oust the regime ??????? Obama just met with Israel, and word is he gave Netenyahu the "Green Light" to strike Iran. We/Israel will. How many lives, how much more $$$$$$$ ? Buy silver, buy gold, GLTA.
