Every year India spends $12 billion on purchasing oil from Iran, but now it is using gold instead of dollars. India might not be alone; China has suggested it would jump on board with India. New Delhi and Beijing account for 40 percent of the Iranian oil exports. Priya Sridhar gives us her report.

  • Duh. Of course many nations are going to dump American dollars and start using gold or other forms of currency. What does that show? It shows they know the US dollar will soon be worthless. It is an easy economic indicator. USA is going to die economically with the collapse of the dollar. It's all been planned.

  • America will use military force if they don't get their way. That's all they know. Pathetic.
