I appreciate your thinking on this matter, not because I wholeheartedly agree necessarily but because this is a time when the truth is hard to discern, can be cleverly hidden, and a mistake in planning can prove fatal. We know that Putin, by all appearances is anti globalist, and it seems DJT is aware of this.
OTOH, aligning with China is a dark path without much promise... perilous times! For sure, the dollar is about finished - thanks to all those carpetbaggers in D.C.!
I look at BRICS vs G7 this way - G7 is WEF which is globalist. BRICS offers an alternative that isn’t globalist, at least not at this point.
The US government has bought into the Klaus Schwab mindset of “no borders” and one RULING entity that controls all people. Kind of like Hitler, Mao, or Stalin. I’m not sure where China falls on that spectrum, since they’re kind of a closed society, not much transparency. But I don’t trust them as far as I can throw them. And as I age, that distance is less and less.
Putin has spoken of a multipolar world, a world where there is no single ruling entity. And I tend to agree with that goal. Putin isn’t Reagan, Lincoln, Washington, or Trump, but Putin also isn’t Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot.
