Russian companies are preparing to switch contracts to renminbi and other Asian currencies amid fears that western sanctions may freeze them out of the US dollar market, according to two top bankers.
“Over the last few weeks there has been a significant interest in the market from large Russian corporations to start using various products in renminbi and other Asian currencies and to set up accounts in Asian locations,” Pavel Teplukhin, head of Deutsche Bank in Russia, told the Financial Times.

Not waiting for 2016: Gulf states talk with Russia about strategic shift
ABU DHABI — The Gulf Cooperation Council, amid major military projects with the United States, has sought an alliance with Russia.Gulf Arab sources said several of the six-member GCC were conducting a strategic dialogue with Moscow in 2014 based in part on the assumption that the shifts in U.S. policy during the Obama administration is unlikely to change significantly until 2016.They said the dialogue, launched nearly a year ago, marked an alternative to the GCC reliance on the United States to counter the Iranian nuclear and missile threat."There has been a realization that Washington is either unable or unwilling to stop Iran’s expansion," a source said. "Thus, the consensus is that other avenues must be explored, foremost being China and Russia."The sources said the dialogue could lead to Russian weapons exports to GCC countries, particularly in the areas of ballistic missiles and air defense. They said such GCC states as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates would seek to use trade as an incentive for Moscow to restrain Iran."The Gulf states were very impressed by the commitment of Russian support to Assad, and the hope is that Moscow could do the same for the GCC," the source said.
Obama’s ‘Don’t Do Stupid Shit’ foreign policy seems somewhat limited.
But I have a question, does supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and it various arms everywhere, including NOW in the West Bank/Gaza with HAMAS seem like REALLY stupid shit?
