    However, at least this video comes closer to the truth. The United States has been exploiting the exorbitant privilege of being the Reserve Currency for the last ~40 years. We are currently in the beginning of the transition away from the dollar.

    Massacres in Donbas. The ONLY "evidence" of this is Kremlin propaganda.
    A Jewish president is in league with neo-nazi militias. Riiight.
    Ukraine wants the return of land Russia took from them by force. Shocking.
    Finally, Russia complains that Ukraine isn't honoring the Minsk accords, but no mention of Russia ignoring the agreements they signed when Ukraine gave up their nukes. Just a little bit of a double standard there.

    It's disappointing to see The Hill turning into Faux news.

    EDIT: BTW, I skipped right over their most absurd claim. They claim Biden couldn't have predicted the pending invasion unless he provoked it. In fact, the massing of Russian troops on the border was reported long before Biden spoke out. He didn't "predict" anything. He merely acknowledged what everyone watching the news was already talking about!

    Guess we better start testing missiles. I'm betting we have one also.

    There is no other alternative than the dollar. The dollar is the most stable, least manipulated currency in the world. And it's backed by the most powerful military the world has ever seen.

    When everything goes to shit the US dollar is where everybody runs.

    Not quite, they are neo-nazi battalions that are actually part of the Ukrainian military itself. Not sure why you are questioning it, it’s been admitted to and even excused by some at this point. Brushing something under the rug doesn’t make it false.

    I haven't come across that evidence and wouldn't want to brush it under the rug. Can you provide supporting info?

    Two Russian Oligarchs Die in Mysterious Circumstances 24 Hours Apart

    Questions look set to be asked after two Russian oligarchs, both linked to gas giants, apparently murdered their wives and daughters before killing themselves—within two days of each other.

    In both cases, the alarm was raised by the slain families' surviving child.

    Former Kremlin official and Gazprombank vice-president Vladislav Avayev, 51, was found dead in his luxury Moscow apartment alongside the bodies of his wife and 13-year-old daughter on Monday. It appeared he had shot them before turning the gun on himself. The bodies were found by distraught 26-year-old daughter Anastasia after she was unable to get hold of her family.

    The following day former Novatek deputy chairman Sergey Protosenya, 55, his wife Natalya, 53, and 18-year-old daughter, Maria, were found dead at their Spanish mansion. The scene suggested the women had been stabbed, before Protosenya hanged himself in the garden. The alarm was raised by the couple's teenage son, who was staying in France, after he was unable to reach his parents at their home in the coastal town of Lloret de Mar.
