Dr. Jim Willie: Quantum Leap in the Gold Price, Ukraine-Russia Crisis and More

Войната за някои е необходима, както слънцето и водата за всяко живо същество...

Financial newsletter writer, Dr. Jim Willie, thinks the Ukraine crisis is more of a financial war than a shooting war.  Dr. Willie says, “A couple of months ago, I said, ‘Give it time and the whole nation would sink,’ and the Putin strategy would be to create a standoff militarily, maybe some skirmishes, but let the nation sink.  It’s been raided of its gold and raided of its official government funds; and, now, the energy companies are in there doing fracking.  I think what is happening now is we are starting to see the breakdown.”

Dr. Willie, who holds a PhD in statistics, says there is a new $17 billion IMF loan going to the Ukraine over the next two years.  Reportedly, Ukraine is buying physical gold with some of that money.  It also owes Russia money.   Dr. Willie contends, “If there is an IMF loan, a big portion must go to Russia in return for this loan, this apart from Gazprom loans.  You’ve got Kremlin loans and you got Gazprom loans.  Maybe Putin said, look, you idiots want us to avoid the dollar.   You want to sanction us?  OK, fine, we’re in line for some of that IMF money, and we don’t want your stinking dollars.  We’ll take it in gold.”   Dr. Willie goes on to say, “This is just chaos.  What is Kiev doing buying 40 tons of gold after the U.S. just stole their 33 tons?” Dr. Willie thinks, “Once you have a standoff militarily, you move the whole thing into banking, economics and trade.  That’s where I think Putin wants to take this war.  The United States has already done their sanctions, and they are all stupid.  If Russia complies, that will make all those energy payments to be made in rubles and not even euros.”...
