"As the West continues its futile efforts to corner Russia, the world is slowly moving towards a new global economic relationship. We are moving towards improving the financial system ', he added.
"Confidence in the reserve currency is fading like a morning mist and the prospect of the dollar and the euro leaving does not seem unrealistic now," Medvedev said.
High inflation rates weaken USD dominance for sure but are it really possible to replace USD as a reserve currency or the USA will allow that so easily? The era of regional currency is coming?
Russia SAYS it wants to build a new world order with China but lets look at the facts instead of cheap words of politicians, shall we?
Russia's economy is artifically being propped up by its gold reserves and whatever precious few countries which are not abiding by sanction laws. This is why the ruble rebounded. But it won't last long, as it is a temporary fix.
China's economy is completely reliant on the west's purchasing power. If the west were to sanction China and it's over 1.4 Billion people then China would transform into India really fast. And they know this. China is greedy and opportunistic beyond human measure. They are definitely just waiting to take advantage over a weakened Russia.
So, a new world order would be an extremely painful process for both countries. And I very much doubt China is ready to sacrifice itself and it's current cozy economic situation over Russia's hopes and dreams.
