EU leaders to keep sanction pressure on Russia, gold flagged as new target

The US had spoken to EU/Europe
Keep The Pressure of Sanctions going..

Looks like they are now trying to target Gold as a new target.
Here is the EU once again shooting themselves in the foot again.

The EU leaders only agreed to keep sanction pressure on Russia because of the US pressure.

Sanctions is the only policy they have left agaisnt Russia.
EU leaders to keep sanction pressure on Russia, gold flagged as new target

I love it how my countries politicians openly advocate against Russian gas and then *gasp* when Putin finally says like

"You don't want my gas, I just cut 40% of the delivery volume!"

and every newspaper and politicians goes nuts over it:

"Russia is waging an energy war against us!!"

when the EU, including my country, put sanctions on them, openly state they want to get rid of Russian gas and all the other talk. We say, knock long enough on devils door he will open!

Now Putin cracked the door and everyone is like "He can't do that!!" Yes he can and he does, evidently. It's only logic. You don't deliver gas to the ones that say they don't want it. If I encroach on my neighbors land, who's best buddy-neighbors buy apples from me, and those best-buddy-neighbors start to make life difficult for me and openly state they don't want my apples anymore..

No matter if I am in the right or wrong encroaching on my neighbor...

Should they be surprised that at one point I say: "Well if you do not want my apples, I won't send you any or at least will focus on a different market".

Anyone really surprised??

Gold is a crucial asset for the Russian Central Bank, which has faced restrictions to accessing some of its assets held abroad because of Western sanctions.

They keep escalating the push towards a larger scale war. All economies are suffering greatly, yet the 1% keep on partying like there's no threat of a looming crisis.

What are us plebs missing? Can the elite really be so cavalier about the suffering of humanity? I was under the impression that the one thing separating man from animals is our ability to feel empathy, but I've had animals show more empathy than some of our leaders have.

NATO has been Compromised . They are Now Totally Controlled by the Globalists who want to Dominate the Russian Republic Financially and Militarily .The War in Ukraine is a Phony War . The Majority of my AWARE Countrymen Do Not Support it at All !

a reply to: Zanti Misfit

I don't support NATO intervention neither , But if Russia expands this war outside the Ukraine there is no other alternative.

This counts for any invader , this time it is Russia but if it would be santa and his elves they would get the same treatment.

For a lot of you it is easy to say that europe just has to become property of Russia.

Easy to say if you live in the USA with the Atlantic between you and the issue.

I have more freedom in my nation then i will ever have under Russian occupation.

Perfect example of thread drift.

The thread is about Western sanctions targeting the Russian gold market.

It's an obvious attempt to weaken their gold backed currency.




MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Russian rouble jumped to a seven-year high against the dollar and euro on Moscow Exchange on Tuesday, supported by capital controls and the prospect of favourable month-end tax payments.

By 1423 GMT, the rouble was 2.1% stronger against the dollar at 54.44. It earlier touched 54.20 per dollar, its strongest mark since June 2015.

Against the euro, the currency gained 1.8% to trade at 57.80, earlier touching 57.0250, its strongest point since May 2015.

This is why the west are targeting Russian gold.

This Russia in the Modern current era isn't the soviet union from the 80s or 90s.

The Russians were prepared for the sanctions. The NWO side foolish believes that Russia is some third world country with a weak militarily.

I had seen a article with officials from Boris Johnson mocking Russia's militarily. That is rather amusingly comical funny for a former empire no more after 20 years they couldn't take out simple bare footed fighters that they supported agaisnt the soviet union in Afghanistan.

The British forces had become weak.

I did not agree with those invasions neither.

And like i said right now NATO interference is not the way to go.
