I ran across it while looking for the reporting on an Iceland official saying that the days of the US international reserve currency are over. Iceland is negotiating a 5 Billion Ruble loan from Russia. I hear Russia has also told Belarus that it wants to conduct future sales in Rubles, not dollars.... just a rumor at this point.

I see Russia's assistance of Iceland as a positive step. I would like to see Russia exert its new power in a positive way.
Many countries are trying to stop trading in dollars. My only worry is that trading in rubles would put Belarus at a disadvantage. If the Russians would accept Euros or pounds or yen, it would be less disconcerting.
