Putin didn’t just invade the Ukraine on 2/24/2022, he officially ended the #petrodollar system. How? Remember, Russians don’t do anything without a plan. They and China have been prepping for this moment for years and are now ready:

-Russia has stated NATO expansion into Ukraine was a red line.
-They knew their invasion of Ukraine would be inevitable and would have strategized that the US/West’s response would be SWIFT $ system exclusions/sanctions, sanctions which started today.

-Reasonable to expect that Russia’s next step will be to shut off oil/gas pipelines to Europe, as Russia has built up huge Yuan, gold & commodity reserves.
-This will cause massive price and supply disruptions (war level) to the western markets & monetary system.

-For years Russia & China have looked for ways to re-monetize gold & exit abuses of SWIFT system as a geo-political tool against them, but how to do it, how to exit, without West declaring it an act of aggression or war against West?

-Well, this Ukraine invasion just accomplished that end for them. And the West is doing it themselves.
-Now, freed to declare themselves SWIFT system outcasts by the western govt hands, Russia can now say “we will turn oil pipelines back on, but not for dollars.”

-Russia then declares that Europe or anyone that wants Russian oil (as 3rd largest global producer) or Russian/Ukrainian wheat (1/4 of worlds production) must pay in gold, or use the ruble-yuan gold backed payment system.

-Their leverage as an oil producer (who cuts off supply) will cause almost immediate price shocks to the western world. A good part of the population could immediately be unable to heat their homes.

-Almost equal to the oil shock they’d cause is their ability (though not as immediate) to cause food shortages and price spikes through the disruption of wheat production.

-Unmentioned in all of this is China. Who has been silent and not condemned Russia. That means silent approval & cooperation.
-China will act to soak up Russian production of oil and wheat to soften the blow to their “strategic partner”.

-This will again be through the Yuan-Ruble facility and at some point overtly-stated gold backing of that system by Russia and a China.
-The West will of course declare those last two bullets as acts of global aggression and direct threats to the “world monetary system”.

-It’s at this point that there will be a clear fracture of the world’s monetary system(s) into 2 competing East/West structures, circling back to the initial point that the 50 year global #petrodollar system has just officially been ended by Putin.

-At some point in all this, China’s aims on Taiwan will come into play and that will move hot-war as well. But these are just my best guesses at trying to work out the current play by Russia (and soon China).

-But the upshot in all of this is that we seem very much to be exiting the unipolar monetary world we all grew up in and will now (like NOW, now) see two warring systems and global opponents.
George Orwell was just early, but here come Oceania, (Eurasia & Eastasia).
