It's Official! Russia Central bank Announces Ruble Bound to Gold! 5000 Rubles per Gram
The Central Bank of Russia has officially announced that, as of March 28, 2022, the Russian Ruble currency is BOUND to Gold. The rate is 5,000 Rubles per gram of gold bullion. There are 32 grams in each TROY ounce. 32 grams times 5,000 rubles per Gram is 160,000 Rubles. Ya with me so far? The conversion rate of Rubles to U.S. Dollars is 100 Rubles, 90 Kopecs, to each US Dollar.
If Rubles are bound to Gold at 5000 Rubles per gram, and there are 32 grams per TROY ounce, meaning one ounce of gold would cost 160,000 Rubles, then converting that to US Dollars means Gold is $1600 per ounce when using Rubles, instead of $1,928 per ounce using Dollars.
Russia just wiped out about thirty percent (30%) of the value of the US Dollar, worldwide, when it comes to Gold Bullion.
Worse, because Russia will only sell its oil and gas in Rubles, and Rubles are now fixed at 5,000 Rubles per gram, anyone wishing to buy Oil or Gas will need to either pay in Rubles or pay in Gold, and they won't get the US Dollar value for the gold they tender as payment!
People around the world will be literally THROWING their money at the Ruble and DUMPING Dollars and EUROS to do it. What Russia just did is the financial equivalent of detonating a nuclear bomb.
FWIW, the last guy on this planet who tried to back a currency with Gold, was Muammar Quadaffi of Libya. NATO went into Libya, bombed the shit out of it, until the people of Libya grabbed Quadaffi on the street, beat him bloody, and put a bullet in his head.
As of this hour, 10:39 PM EDT, I suspect Bankers all over the world are on the phones with each other and with heads of state, instructing them that what Russia has done will totally smash both the US Dollar and the EURO, and those Bankers will be telling the heads of State that World War 3 must commence immediately.

assing through valley
What valley ? If we're using Google to view obelisks why not see exactly what he was talking about?
"landscape depression between the hills", I can't spell properly.
He actually never said where in Afghanistan it was.
first question I always is 'did this really happen?'
Well, guy was soldier, he didn't talk much and he didn't take part in any loose talk. According to himself, he came to Paracast forum in a search of explanation for what he had seen. He wasn't there to brag or anything. He only provided a minimum of the facts that described otherwise quite ordinary event.
If somebody's character leaves impression on me that he/she is a regular person, I don't really question the veracity of what they say. If they are engineers or other kind of professionals, I would double down on that trust. The only people I take exception are people who work in sales, marketing, media & politics. Wouldn't trust them even with weather report.
