What I find really remarkable about the foregoing Zero Hedge story, is that there is nothing whatsoever -- no agreements, no international law (the US doesn't recognise the International Court anyway) to stop Russia and Iran, or any other two or more countries, from entering into private trade barter deals or to make use of other currencies to settle such deals as they wish.
It is their prerogative in fact.
The US is now completely out of sync with the rest of the world in responding to this deal in this way.
But as I said above, if you keep poking a stick in a nest of wasps they will come out and sting you. By which I mean the whole US covert op for regime change in the Ukraine was a dangerous and poorly thought out action that is now rebounding.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
