Currency wars are set to escalate as the petro dollar’s decline continues.
Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak and his Iranian counterpart Bijan Zanganeh signed a five-year memorandum of understanding in Moscow, which included cooperation in the oil sector.
“Based on Iran’s proposal, we will participate in arranging shipments of crude oil, including to the Russian market,” Novak was quoted as saying.

So she went along and she went along and she went along till she met Cocky-locky. 'Where are you going, Hennypenny Bumbler?' says Cocky-locky. 'Oh! I'm going to tell the king the sky's a-falling,' says Henny-penny. 'May I come with you?' says Cocky-locky. 'Certainly,' says Henny-penny Bumbler. So -Bumbler and Cocky-locky went to tell the king the sky was falling.
They went along, and they went along, and they went along, till they met Ducky-daddles. 'Where are you going to, Hennypenny Bumbler and Cocky-locky?' says Ducky-daddles. 'Oh! we're going to tell the king the sky's a-falling,' said Henny-penny Bumbler and Cocky-locky. 'May I come with you?' said Ducky-daddles. 'Certainly,' said Henny-penny Bumbler and Cocky-locky.

I happened to watch this last night on Netflix, and then lo and behold saw a couple of threads here this morning with a somewhat similar subject. Interesting.

To respond to Cicero: the US dollar could be replaced at the global standard. There have been moves toward doing just that in recent years. It is something that Russia, China and a list of others would be quite happy to see happen.
To respond to Box: it would be a VERY REAL problem if the US Dollar were no longer the global currency standard. Of course, you (like Obama, Reid and Tonko) insist on fiddling while "Rome" is burning. 5 1/2 years into the worst presidency in American history and the fools (named in the previous sentence) still don't understand what is going on around them.

The dollar could be replaced with even more localized currencies. I don't think the people of the world have the appetite for an even larger centralized currency, that when it collapses, everybody feels the pain.
There is already a global standard in commodities, all that is needed is to allow the legalization of competing currencies, the market will determine the winner.
