Russia threatens to dump the dollar

If you are going to stereotype 'CT' views, then the closest thing to being able to rationalize what you said was that once people know how the system works (built by bankers for bankers) then you tend to want OUT of that system because it farms people.

So if removing the parasites is 'far right' then so be it.

So there you have it. I do not want them to have more power, I want them to piss off.

This is just spin, though, isn't it? My point is that the effect of all the policy you advocate would be to enrich bankers and hurt workers. I would think someone who sees bankers as evil monsters wouldn't like that, and would be more attracted to far-left ideas.

At some point we'll have to accept that each region of the world has it's big dogs and it's small dogs.

Russia is the big dog in Europe, China in Asia, the US in the west.

Germany is easily the big dog in Europe. And France and the U.K. are also a bigger dogs than Russia. Russia is the big dog in Eastern Europe, though.
 
Or maybe it implies those "CTs" aren't really just theories after all. The leader of Russia is basically calling it out, and people here are trying to say he doesn't know what he's talking about. That's why you can never get through to those "skeptics." Even when the leaders themselves reveal it they will always try rationalise it in some other way. Putin is well aware of the petro-dollar conflict which has been taking place, and the first thing those skeptics do when he brings it up is to try rationalise it in another way which is totally out of context. Just last year the skeptics were laughing at the chance of wars involving China and Russia, now the possibility is a growing fact, but will those people admit their mistake?

What are you talking about? Putin (or his aide, from the Nationalist-Populist Rodina) made empty populist threats.
They make no economic sense, but play on popular misconceptions about currency and geopolitics.
It's bluster. If you can't see that. congratulations you're their target audience...

No, they'll say of course we already knew, then try explain what's happening in a way which is out of context with reality, when he's already one year behind the supposed "CT'er" who told him about the crisis long before it even became relevant to the mainstream media.

Pure fantasy. Never happened.
