Russia and China today signed a thirty year “Holy Grail” $400 billion dollar gas deal to be transacted in their domestic currencies bypassing the (petro) dollar.
In March export powerhouses China and Germany signed a trade deal bypassing the USDollar with a new clearinghouse in Frankfurt.

The world is tired of U.S. militarism, exceptionalism and “color revolutions”.
The BRICS countries are leading the charge “sanctioning” the U.S. by moving away from the USdollar to conduct trade and pay account balances.
When the USDollar is ultimately dislodged as global reserve currency the U.S. will soon fall to third world status.

Project much, there, Joey? You moron! In case you’ve forgotten, the US of A has been overtly active in arming and advising the coup leaders in the Ukraine on how to forcibly achieve an outcome that it could not achieve via free and open elections and how to use a military to suppress voter turnout. The problem is, Big Joe, that all those Eastern European nations who you are spurring to jump on the Keystone Kops paddy wagon the US fo A offers are totally dependent on Russian largesse for their ability to keep warm during their brutal winters.
If Mr. Putin wanted to get REALLY ugly in this entire Kabuki Theater that you and Barack have put together, he would simply sell Russia’s natural gas to China, North Korea and all the Southeast Asian countries needing fossil fuels for heating and/or manufacturing. (See, the comment above) That would make for some miserably cold winters in Eastern Europe.
Not that you care! You would just jump on your fossil fuel powered and heated jet and wing back home to your fossil fueled house. Once again, you have engaged your mouth before you fired up those 2 brain cells that you have so that you can make the same irresponsible statements that are the hallmark of your career in public life.
