Washington is destroying this country.
"China will re-open the old Silk Road as a new trading route linking Germany, Russia and China
By Peter Koenig
April 08, 2014 "ICH" - Russia has just dropped another bombshell, announcing not only the de-coupling of its trade from the dollar, but also that its hydrocarbon trade will in the future be carried out in rubles and local currencies of its trading partners no longer in dollars see Voice of Russia
Russias trade in hydrocarbons amounts to about a trillion dollars per year. Other countries, especially the BRICS and BRCIS-associates (BRICSA) may soon follow suit and join forces with Russia, abandoning the petro-dollar as trading unit for oil and gas. This could amount to tens of trillions in loss for demand of petro-dollars per year (US GDP about 17 trillion dollars December 2013) leaving an important dent in the US economy would be an understatement.
Added to this is the declaration today by Russias Press TV China will re-open the old Silk Road as a new trading route linking Germany, Russia and China, allowing to connect and develop new markets along the road, especially in Central Asia, where this new project will bring economic and political stability, and in Western China provinces,where New Areas of development will be created. The first one will be the Lanzhou New Area in Chinas Northwestern Gansu Province, one of Chinas poorest regions.
During his visit to Duisburg, Chinese President Xi Jinping made a master stroke of economic diplomacy that runs directly counter to the Washington neo-conservative factions effort to bring a new confrontation between NATO and Russia. (press TV, April 6, 2014)
Using the role of Duisburg as the worlds largest inland harbor, an historic transportation hub of Europe and of Germanys Ruhr steel industry center, he proposed that Germany and China cooperate on building a new economic Silk Road linking China and Europe. The implications for economic growth across Eurasia are staggering.
Curiously, western media have so far been oblivious to both events. It seems like a desire to extending the falsehood of our western illusion and arrogance as long as the silence will bear..........
