RUSSIA DEFAULTS ON DEBT

I remember this hugely moronic individual that goes by the name of 'Evince' try to tell this board that it is impossible for a government to default on its debt..............so how is it possible now?
You have to excuse her . Her brain has been destroyed by Porta Potty chemicals. I tried to warn her not to continue licking Porta Potty seats but she ignored me.
 
The U.S. has not defaulted on any of its debts.

we defaulted in exactly the same way in the 70's. we unilaterally changed the form of payment

we promised payment in gold - but did away with gold convertibility and paid in dollars

Russia is to pay in dollars, unilaterally changed to pay in rubles.

This is default on their foreign debt folks


They are not a wealthy nation


If they can’t sell their oil



They are in massive trouble
 
The loan specifies they had to pay in dollars

in the 70's all our loan promises was basedo n our dollor being backed by gold

Then-president Richard Nixon passed executive order-11615 on 15 August 1971 unilaterally declaring the abandonment of the dollar peg to gold. No prior consultation happened with IMF. No approval was taken from nations holding dollar. No option was given to nations who were holding dollars on the explicit commitment of the US on the gold peg.

That default was no different than what Russia is doing today.

A gold standard is a monetary system in which the standard economic unit of account is based on a fixed quantity of gold. The gold standard was the basis for the international monetary system from the 1870s to the early 1920s, and from the late 1920s to 1932[1][2] as well as from 1944 until 1971 when the United States unilaterally terminated convertibility of the US dollar to gold foreign central banks, effectively ending the Bretton Woods system.[3] Many states still hold substantial gold reserves.[4][5]

Why Gold Is Used in Electronics

Publish Date: October 18, 2019 | Category: Blog Posts, Material

With an average price of nearly $1,500 per ounce, as of October 2019, gold ranks as one of the most expensive metals in the world. Even with its high price, though, it’s commonly used in the manufacturing of electronics. From desktop and laptop computers to smartphones, TVs, video game consoles and more, countless electronics contain gold. In fact, most electronics contain at least some amount of this precious metal. So, why do manufacturers prefer gold rather than cheaper, more readily available metals?

The Role of Gold in Electronics
Before we reveal why gold is used in electronics, let’s talk about how it’s used. Electronics aren’t made entirely of gold. Rather, the precious and expensive metal is used for specific components such as connectors, switch contacts, relay contacts and wires.

High Electrical Conductivity
One of the reasons why is used in electronics is because of its electrical conductivity properties. Gold is highly conductive, meaning electricity can easily flow through it with minimal resistance. Copper, silver and aluminum are also conductive, but gold offers a superior level of electrical conductivity. As a result, it’s the perfect material for electrical components like those previously mentioned. When used in electronics, gold allows electricity to flow to and from the respective device with minimal resistance.

Easy to Work
Another reason gold is used in electronics is because it’s easy to work. Some people assume that gold is hard and strong, but this isn’t necessarily true. It’s actually relatively soft and pliable, which makes it easy to work. The soft and pliable characteristics of gold allow manufacturing companies to easy include it in otherwise small electronics. Gold, for example, can be drawn into electrical wires or connectors — something that’s not possible with harder and stronger metals.

Resistant to Tarnishing
The benefits of gold in electronics doesn’t stop there. In addition to high electrical conductivity and being easy to work, this precious metal is resistant to tarnishing. Gold doesn’t mix well with oxygen. Even when left outdoors for long periods of time, it will absorb little or no oxygen. This is important because oxygen is responsible for tarnishing (as well as rusting). When oxygen mixes with a metal, it causes the metal to oxidize, which then leads to tarnishing or other forms of corrosion.

Gold is used in electronics for three primary reasons: It has high electrical conductivity; it’s easy to work; and it’s resistant to tarnishing. While gold is expensive, these characteristics make it an invaluable material for use in the electronics manufacturing.

Kremlin will take legal action if Russia pushed into default, minister threatens

In response to sweeping financial sanctions imposed on Russian banks since the war in Ukraine began, the Kremlin has said it would pay holders of its dollar-denominated bonds in roubles. However, many investors would view this as a form of default, a situation in which governments are unable to keep up their debt payments.

Siluanov suggested Russia could go to court to argue that the terms of its repayments had been met, without saying where such a hearing could happen. “Of course we will sue, because we have taken all the necessary steps to ensure that investors receive their payments,” he said.

“We will present in court our bills confirming our efforts to pay both in foreign currency and in roubles. It will not be an easy process. We will have to very actively prove our case, despite all the difficulties,” he added.
