In 2011, Putin alluded to creating a parallel financial system, based on the ruble, that will rival that of the dollar. This may mean that the US will no longer be able to live in debt and create perpetual war, given it will have less buyers of its treasury bonds. The US government holds the largest amount of debt in the world; at $19 trillion, it is guaranteed by nothing more than fiat money.
By contrast, Russia is the top buyer of gold in the world today, and has been steadily increasing its reserves over the past 15 years. This is being done, presumably, to disengage from the dollar system, using a gold-backed ruble system. Could this not be one of the core reason that Putin is the enemy of Western elites?
Since it’s no secret to U.S. lawmakers that the U.S. Dollar is on life support (most of them I should say), it’s hardly surprising that there has been speculation in recent times that eventually the government would crack down on gold and silver profits. To prevent people from fleeing the already weak Dollar, and flocking into gold and silver instead, the government could very easily add an enormous tax or surcharge on gold and silver , effectively stripping investors of any reason to buy into the metals in the first place.
