Why would you think that?

I think the United States will try to copy the idea of the Euro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro).

OPEC will probably open the doors to multiple currencies like Euros, Rubles, and the Yen to buy Oil.

We'll see.

Could Ruble become a global reserve currency?
Of course.

Russian Chervonetz (10 ruble gold coin) was the most powerfull currency in Europe before the Bolshevik revolution.

Russian Gold Coins
In earlier days, Russia issued gold kopeks, ducats, poltinas, and novodels. In more recent times, most of the gold coins have been roubles or multiples of roubles, including chervonetz which are equivalent to 10 roubles.
We give below the specifications of most of the more frequently encountered Russian gold coins, followed by a stock list of any we have for sale.

if dollar will crash, euro and yen will crash too, because EU and Japan heavily dependent on US economy.

I think Russia "sees the writing on the wall" for the global economy and is backing their currency with gold to make themselves immune to it. Also, I think they're doing it to position themselves as a world power when everything goes to pot.

I still think they'll screw up later on down the line and finally be brought under the globalists' control.

I think their economy is too unstable with the whole eastern bloc situation, and the fact their GDP is a mere $1 trillion a year of which oil makes up a significant part. The ruble is an interesting currency to speculate on, but it will never become the world's reserve currency. I think the EU overtook the U.S. in GDP as #1 and #2. I imagine Russia is still behind Japan, Germany, China, U.K., France, Italy, Canada, Spain and likely Brazil. A worldwide recession could shuffle the cards a bit, but I don't see how Russia is going to make any big gains.

only after a nuclear war and a complete destruction of the entire world. Putin is CFR's #1 enemy and they are constantly thinking about assassinating him.

So let me get this straight: The US and many so called Westernized country's are working on an NWO initiative while the so called 'rogue' states like Russia, Iran, Venezuela, etc. are actually fighting against the case for NWO? Damn it seems like a real bad situation esp. for us, doesn't it??

Russia is not actually fighting against the case for NWO.
We are the biggest and richest country in the world and we work for ourselves, and we don't give a damn what the rest of the world is busy with.

But if some will try to get its runny nose into our affairs we'll destroy them.
