Ahh yes, small changes never preclude larger shifts in large geopolitical entities.

But also if anyone tells you they know the future, they're probably trying to sell you something. If I were in charge of Ghana's finances, I'd be pretty cautious of standing in front of any windows for the next few years.

Small changes preclude absolutely nothing happening far more often, and the imminent demise of the petrodollar has been forecast for fifty years involving some much more seismic events than a country with gold mines and a severe dollar reserve shortage and debt problem proposing that gold might solve their problem.

At least the half dozen "gold dinar" projects had a bit of global ambition and a theoretical rationale for the religion of much of the world's oil exporting economies to participate.

Brexit was supposed to be the end of the EU.

>Brexit was supposed to be the end of the EU.

I always considered Brexit to be the end of the UK's involvement in the EU? Your source(s)?
