Russia Threatens to "Crash" U.S. Economy By Selling U.S. Bonds

by Pete Santilli, The Pete Santilli Show & The Guerilla Media Network

In the ongoing chess match between Russia’s Putin and USA’s Obama, it appears that Putin has called “check” once again by countering Obama’s and Kerry’s threat to levy sanctions upon Russia for the Ukraine military incursion.

Before we go further, we ask the reader not to gush over Putin’s Grand Master status as a chess player — he’s juts as evil and murderous as the rest of the war mongers in the world.  Regardless of the theatrics we’re witnessing in the East versus West confrontation, it’s important to point out the constant daily barrage of check-level moves by the Russians.

In today’s statements ountering threats of sanctions, Russia responded as follows: 

Russia could reduce to zero its economic dependency on the United States if Washington agreed sanctions against Moscow over Ukraine, politician and economist Glazyev said, warning that the American financial system faced a “crash” if this happened.

Sergei Glazyev, a senior adviser to President Putin, added that if Washington froze the accounts of Russian businesses and individuals, Moscow will recommend to all holders of U.S. treasuries to sell their U.S. government debt.

Glazyev is often used by the authorities to stake out a hardline stance. He does not make policy but has the ear of Putin and would be aligned with the more hawkish elements in the Russian government and military.

“We would find a way not just to reduce our dependency on the United States to zero but to emerge from those sanctions with great benefits for ourselves,” said Kremlin economic aide Sergei Glazyev.

He told the RIA Novosti news agency Russia could stop using dollars for international transactions and create its own payment system using its “wonderful trade and economic relations with our partners in the East and South.”

Russian firms and banks would also not return loans from American financial institutions, he said.

“An attempt to announce sanctions would end in a crash for the financial system of the United States, which would cause the end of the domination of the United States in the global financial system,” he added.
