So, I'm waiting to see more feedback on the news that Russia won't be taking dollars for its gas and oil. And interesting story to go along with that is that India--of all countries--is in discussions with Russian about using the Chinese yuan as the common currency for payment. One way or another, it looks like dedollarization is going to be a thing--and we'll all feel the effects of it. Perhaps a good thing in the long term, as it may enforce some semblance of financial and monetary responsibility. Hopefully.
So is destroying Russia's economy more important than saving the planet? Curious to hear what AOC has to say about this. /sarc
In the mean time someone can write a new song about a "Slow Plane to China." haha
