not much effectin spite of the U.S. manipulators doing a major PUMP of the U.S. dollar they are not having that much luck knocking the price of gold and oil down. Which Russia and China have an abundance of.
I remember back when Ronald Reagon Put the screws to Russia 30 years ago the U.S. crashed the price of oil down to next to nothing.
It affected people not only in Russia but people out in western Canada, thousands of home foreclosures and suicides.
The fortunate thing this time around is the U.S. in in a financial mess to the extent of NO return.
Have a great day
