More accurately those at the top whose power is tied to the US dollar continue to manipulate global capitalism in favour of their choice through global media and government propaganda. Capital is imaginary it's only real value it tied to countries primary resources and how it's currency equates with the value of those primary resources. The US with it currency is largely parasitical falsely tied to many other countries resources which the US forced through with economic and military warfare. The attack on the rouble is already failing which is exactly why corporate media is now hyping up potential collapse, it is simply not real.
You have a group of multi-national corporations who are orchestrating the attack via their puppet the US government. Problem is they are loyal to no one and most certainly not each other. Basically when the opportunity comes to profit by betting the other way, the rouble over the dollar they will break ranks because the know the Russian rouble is backed by primary resources and the US dollar is only backed by propaganda.
Circular reasoning, paying of debt generated by creating more imaginary US dollars where they debt was created by creating imaginary US dollars makes no sense at all outside the sleazy world of the US Federal Reserve. Pointing to the US being the last military superpower as defining the value of it's currency, is a really, really, bad thing. You might as well say, I have a gun and it is pointed at your head, this piece of printed paper can buy your resources because if you do not agree I will kill you and take those resources anyhow. That same gun pointed at your head also applies to paying off debt with more funny money, accept it or die. US exceptionalism always blind to it's own evil actions. A global anti-US coalition is growing and it is as a direct result of US exceptionlism being paraded across the internet and some of the truly awful things some idiotic US politicians say in public that the rest of the world can hear. That 'BRICs' association http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B... is going to generate an huge amount of money out of the failing attack on the Russian rouble, it is not like it wasn't expected.
