Crimea To Abandon Hyrvnia, Switch To Russian Ruble On April 1st
Crimean Deputy Prime Minister Rustam Temirgaliev has told RIANovosti that the region will abandon Ukraine's Hyrvnia:
- *CRIMEA TO SWITCH TO RUSSIAN RUBLE APRIL 1: RIA NOVOSTI
This is not a total surprise as Reuters reported the Crimean Deputy PM stating "we are ready to introduce a ruble zone," a week ago.
For the last few years the UAH/RUB exchange rate has oscillated around 38 in an 'almost' peg anyway...
But this move would isolate Crimeans from the potentially large devaluation that capital flows would create should a default occur (which looks increasingly likely)
From Reuters last week:
The Ukrainian region of Crimea could adopt the Russian ruble as its currency and "nationalize" state property as part of plans to join the Russian Federation, a regional official was quoted as saying on Thursday.
Interfax news agency cited Rustam Temurgaliyev, Crimea's vice premier, as saying: "All Ukrainian state enterprises will be nationalized and become the property of the Crimean autonomy."
Hoping Moscow would let Crimea become part of Russia, he said: "We are ready to introduce the ruble zone."
Of course, this may lead to the emergence of an even more broad 'black market' for dollars or rubles in Ukraine as we are sure the Ukraine government would fight back with capital controls of some sort.

Well Yellen, instead of fucking around with the printer, here's a challenge.
Turn the ruble into shit. Can you do it Yellen??? Get to work bitch!!!!
and victoria nudelman will turn Ukraine into rubble...
The ruble is already a piece of shit. I'm wondering if switching from one piece of shit currency to another will truly be beneficial. I'm sure that the deputy minister or whatever the fuck his name is will have his pockets lined with Rubles. Unfortunately for him, he may take a nap and wake up with them being 30% devalued when he wakes up. C'est la vie in the third mundo.
Ruble or not, if I was Crimea I would demand my share of the Ukrainian gold holdings... What?! What do you mean, "We don't have it?" WHERE THE FUCK IS IT!!!
JP Morgan will be holding that indefinitely now. Rest assured it's in safe hands.
Sitting right on a little push cart in the 4th basement passageway between the Fed's and JP's vaults.
Why you ask, does it sit there?
Because, grasshopper, it makes it easier to count in the vault(s)
"Quantum Solutions to Classical Problems"
They fucking stole it!
The US doesn't steal, it only reallocates. HAHAHAHAHA!
All kidding aside; I wish the Crimean people the best of luck! You made the right choice.
Ukraine/Western Ukraine, on the other hand, will get "Fucked" 20 ways to Sunday by the Western Banksters!!! Sucks to be you!!! Know this: "You Chose Poorly!"
There was/is no good choice for the Ukraine.
To be enslaved by a Dictator or a bunch of faceless Bankers/Beurocrats, how much difference does it make?
Either way enjoy your chains and whatever you do, don't build any guillotines...
If the Ruble were the reserve currency it would be as strong as the dollar.
She needs to kill the Dollar first.
She is doing her best to turn it into the rubble........
This is called Debt-Repudiation Crimean style:
No MOAR Force-Fed Debt. Get it... "Force Fed"?
APRIL 1
yeah and FUCK THE EU
Russian gulag or EU.... We Eastern Europeans tried both. Sorry. EU, with all its faults, infinitelly better choice. And we actually TRIED both, not like some wankers writing from their parents basement. That includes Mr. Durden as well...
they won't have to wait long for the hyperinflation.
"Monday."
And who has trained the bulk if not totality of the Ruissan Officer Corps?
Yep..."Ukraine."
This is NOT a Cold War...this is a HOT war...and it could kick off any day now.
And yes...American boys and girls will be on that front line.
EU is just becoming a gulag. Talk to me about the "better choice" in 10 years.
But, the slave mentality you expose is troublesome indeed...
I wonder if anyone from Greece would like to chime in from their basement?
What's that?
Lost your job, your home, your family, your basement and your self respect?
Well, look at this way, you made an infinitely better choice.
Ok, we still got time, anyone from Spain, Portugal, Italia, or Cyprus?
What's that, to busy dumpster diving looking for food after being bailed in?
Don't worry, be happy, you live in an infinitely better economic sphere called Euroland.
Does anyone know where we can buy tickets to ride those rides?
let me guess: Pure Evil being on exactly the same page as... Dr. Krugman? Just as a reminder: those countries had a crash
this crash originated in the US, yet this is not that relevant since 1929's is remembered as having originated in europe
now, instead of getting back to their old currencies and "print/spend their way out of misery", they all choose to stay in the EUR and... economize
interestingly, the same set of policies that the Austrian School would advice. meanwhile, check again on "dumpster diving" and where it's a "sport"
The gulag is in the past, same as the Soviet Union.
Not so with America's 21st century prison camps.
Tough choice. Order vs. Chaos. Depends on your age, talent, capability, cultural outlook, aspirations in life, competitive spirit, national affinity, need for financial / job security vs. risk taking and possibly sex drive. Ukraine and Scotland will be test cases. However both US and Russia are converging towards each other with rise in Global Multinationals and Oligarchs influencing and changing ideology.
Actually we need better models and choices
April's Fools!!! Not!! They are serious.
Crimeans, are you ready to RUBLE!!!!
welp.... more good news .. http://hedge.ly/NdXYJP
Greece should have never joined the EU and replaced the Drachma with the Euro; they are now paying the price.
Meanwhile, West Ukraine chomping at the bit to jump on the Brussels Bandit's glue factory wagon.
The only thing that makes sense is Russia moving troops into Crimea and tanks to the border.
The Great Empire of Greece turned into a beggar state. The EU rapes your culture and laughs at your history.
What are you going to do about it?
Well, so far it looks like they've been bending over and over and over and letting Merkel and Draghi ream them a new a$$hole every time.
racist. antisemite scum.
What? Where? Who? Tyler?
Make sense, man.

The word "antisemitism" is propaganda. The Palestinians are semites. Syrians are the original semites. There are semites in Africa.
Racism against Jews isn't any different, worse or special than racism against anyone else. They don't deserve their own special word for it.
Stop spreading the propaganda.
Mossad is not Jewish
CIA is not christian

Anybody that say's or think's that ISRAEL is Jewish is nuts, its a ZIO-NAZI kleptocracy,
Anybody that says that the USA is CHRISTIAN is nuts, its a ZIO-NAZI kleptocracy.

Yes, anti-semitism is just a PAVLOVIAN 'trigger-word' developed by ADL/JDL back in the 1920's by MSM to stifle debate.
Red line #57 crossed
wrong, the red line is the entire width of the country of Russia....so it is impossible to cross it...just cross into it. Change you can believe in.
In Russia, line cross you!
Well anyway, that's what the Mexican illegals say.
well that escalated quickly
only USA and Russia could escalate to a nuclear conflict with israel blackop. around. Didnt you know some of them want to enter USA for some exercised? EU is just choirs boys and girls.

russia should take their usd reserves and buy rubles. then, when the ruble is strong demand payment for oil in rubles. nothing sez ww3 like fucking with the bankstas.
russia was in the end reluctant to give any leeway into its semiautonomous control of eastern central germany
the americans were not as some might think, running the show in germany-- large swathes of territory were quarantined off from american encroachment
that is why Stalin, Churchill, and Truman met in Potsdam, Germany because Stalin demanded it...
this explains how the Russian's were to get the bulk of Nazi scientist, and they did. the USA got its share but Russia really got moar than their share. remember the sputnik (10/4/57?) long before JFK's space race to the moon five years later in 1962!
lastly, Russia has a 1:1 nuclear warhead ratio with the USSA...
if one side says 'go ahead make my day', not even the oligarch can hide...
just a thought on a"MAD",mad mad world!?!

Just imagine what the others in Eastern and to some degree Western Ukraine will be thinking. Do I hold on to the Hvernia that will lose value as the economy collapses, energy prices skyrocket, or Ukraine bonds default----or would I be better off siding with Russia with a stronger currency tied to commerce and jobs connected with Russia. Me thinks Putin has this figured out while Nuland is preaching democracy, freedom and hope which resonates with the young who do not understand the realities of geopolitics. Really interesting how this unfolds after referendum. Putin may sway most important areas of Ukraine without firing a shot.
Sounds logical but we have EU,US and Israhell who may fire the first shot.
The most important shot in every conflict is the LAST one...
Just what I was thinking. Ukraine's economy is, best case, going to be yoked to the IMF/World Bank/EU bankster extraction program. Everyone of value will be liquidated and sent West. Taxes will skyrocket and any benefits, and pay, will be slashed. At best, Ukraine goes through a decade of being bled white. The Hryvnia will show the strain. Or they'll ditch the Hryvnia and use the Euro, which is still worse for those in a depressed country (see Portugal, Greece, Italy, Spain).
If, on the other hand, they go to the Ruble, they know the Ruble will be "punished" by the Western economies. But the stuff they want to buy, they want to buy from Russia. Russia can maintain a false internal economy for as long as it takes Europe to remember they need some energy from somewhere.
I'd go for the Ruble ten times out of ten in their situation. And I'd have a nice big garden, some hand tools, a full freezer, and a rough recollection of where exactly on the lake I so unfortunately tipped over my canoe that one fated day...
The West won't let the Ukraine fail. It's as simple as that. No default coming. The same with the Euro. The currency is not working as intended, but I can't see it being dropped anytime soon. The factors influencng these largely economic issues are often emotional or irrational. The Euro is seen and sold as the "great peace project" etc. This will be an economic cold war with Russia. A previous cold war the Russians lost and will probably lose again. Russia may have the largest land-mass, immense resources and a massive army, but economically they really are very second rate. This poor rating is mainly derived from a very one sided commodity economy, terribly corrupt and kleptocratic and an ancient, failing infrastructure.
The Ruble has been cratering for a while and so has their stock exchange, as anybody invested in Russia (as I) will confirm. Crimea latching on to the Ruble won't save their arses. The Crimea hanging on to Russia will become economically isolated and stay backward. Tourism in Crimea will be isolated to the Russian market only. Exports will probably suffer sanctions. It's a lose/lose all around, but mostly for the Crimeans. God forbid we in the EU have another quasi bankrupt country to feed through, but it probably is heading that way. Ukraine will shift clearly towards the west, ex-satellites will distraust Russia even more and the political divide will clearly shift eastwards, with the exception of the Belarus puppet.
It is being propped up as anti-dollar as it can be.
The Euro is seen and sold as the "great peace project" etc.
Don't forget, the Germans are expected to PAY for everything in EU. Everybody else is just too bankrupt.
Enjoy it ! It's from your tax money...

I think Temirgaliev was misunderstood here. What he meant is that they are going to turn Crimea into a rubble zone, not a Ruble zone.
