Nixon or Carter took us off Gold.

Currency is a metaphor.  Putin trades beans for bombs directly.  Probably even for the NK's in Ukraine getting massacred like a 1970's duck shoot arcade game.

The asymmetric future of humanity is being waged on one or two  poker tables of rich azz oligarchs hell bent for the kleptocrapocalypse.

Our own state department has never confirmed there are any NK troops fighting in Russia. The most they have confirmed is that there are 10k NK troops in Russia, but not that they are engaged in any combat. There are 2,000 UK troops in America. Are they fighting anyone, to your knowledge? How about the 35,000 U.S. troops in Germany? Are they being massacred? Who are THEY fighting? They must be there to fight, yes? Like the UK troops here? And the NK troops in Russia? I mean, they CAN'T be there training and doing joint exercises in keeping with their alliance's commitments, can they? They MUST be fighting - and getting massacred. They're cannon fodder, I tell ya. The North Koreans, I mean - not the Ukrainians. CERTAINLY not the Ukrainians. They're winning! Bigly!

You are buying the propaganda. I recommend you subscribe to Sebastian Sass, to get a bit of balance. 

NO ONE says the NK are fighting in Ukraine. Not even the green t-shirt says that. And no one EXCEPT the green t-shirt claims they are fighting AT ALL - much less "being massacred." The only people being massacred are the Ukrainians, and that can stop at any moment. All they need to do is get rid of the coup government and stop murdering ethnic Russian citizens in [WHAT USED TO BE] Eastern Ukraine. 

And be clear. I am not claiming that the NK troops are not defending Russian territory against invaders, per their mutual defense pact with Russia. I do not pretend to know. But I trust the state department's refusal to play along with the green t-shirt. Not that I would trust them much if they DID confirm it - but the fact that they have NOT confirmed it, when I am sure they would happily do so if any evidence of it existed, makes me reasonably sure the green t-shirt is lying through his green teeth.
