Dollar Dump Begins: Russia Unloads 20% Of Its Total U.S. Holdings In ONE MonthMac Slavo Its a known fact that theRussians and Chinese have already begun divesting themselves of dollar dependency by implementing trade agreements that completely sidestep the worlds reservecurrency, but there has been no overt sign of a sell-off that might be indicative of a coming attack on our currency. Until now, that is. According to a report from Zero Hedge the Russians have already started unloading their dollar reserves. In the month of December alone they sold a record $22 billion in U.S. Treasurys. While this may not seem like a big number, it is over 20% of their totalUS dollar holdings. But heres the kicker: Theyre not the only ones getting rid of their dollars in what appears to be a fairly uncommonsell-off over the course of the last 60 days. Back in December, Socgenspread a rumor thatRussia has begun selling its gold. Subsequent IMF data showed that not only was this not correct, Russia in factadded to its gold holdings. But there was one thing it was selling: some $22 billion in US Treasurys,a record 20% of its total holdings,bringing its US paper inventory to just $86 billion in December the lowest since June 2008. Is Russia, after being under economic attack for the better part of a year, now starting to make its own moves? And are they working in unison with the Chinese in an effort to debase the dollar? World affairs analyst Joel Skousen recently made a compelling case against an imminent economic collapse, while others argue that the end is nigh for the U.S. economic, financial and monetary systems. Whatever the case, remain vigilant and prepare for the worst, because the hammer is going to drop sooner or later.
