The fact that the Chinese economy is tanking even faster? Yeah they might not survive economically through the next year let alone what happens when they are abandoned by the Russian federation.
Announcing that they were going to release a gold backed currency? That absolutely has lethal repercussions. Don't forget the colonel in Libya that got raped by a knife because he did the same thing... He actually got raped in the ass by a knife.... Filmed. And then we watched the entire amazing country descending to anarchy to the point where human beings were put in zoos as well as sold in open markets.
