The alternate financial “news,” such as Zerohedge, has recently been flooded with an increasing number of ridiculous articles that claim Russia has “profoundly altered the international trade and monetary system by linking the Russian ruble to gold.”

Russia's willingness buy gold at 5,000 rubles per gram is irrelevant. It does absolutely nothing to tie the ruble to either gold or the U.S. dollar.

Only people who have a gun pointed at their heads. ...
