For the USA, its going to suck, but it may provide an enema for our body politic--because we won't be able to afford the luxury of deciding what pronouns to use, arguing if 3 year olds understand gender and should be surgically altered, or entertaining the whacked out pronouncements of guests on CNN, MSNBC, or the view.
There are signs that people are figuring it out. If things really get bad, I sure wouldn't to be among those who are associated with this disaster (see the last snip from the article above).
And not even hald way through his first term.
The end of the Petrodollar is the end of the money printing without hyper inflation.
Attaboy, Joe!
BRICS will quickly surpass the West and NATO. Competition is good, right?
The downside of the power grid going out is that survivors won’t be able to watch Liberals anguish in their self destruction.
Biden’s ONE JOB is to put the US in an untenable position by 2024.
If Trump can’t be stopped one way, he can be stopped another. So says China.
The uniparty needs a big bad bogeyman, to unite the peasantry, and it doesn’t get any bigger than a Russia/China/Saudi triumvirate!
Biden is systematically and deliberately doing everything in his power to damage America, including involvement in a world war. Everything he does is calculated to that objective.
Heckuva job, Biden.

If you want your Liberal World Odor, you have to break all the eggs and throw out the chickens who laid them.
This is DIRECTLY the result of the Neocons trashing Saudi Arabia over the killing of activist Jamal Khashoggi. And they used this killing to trash Trump, hoping that he would cut Saudi Arabia loose, and thus have oil prices go through the roof.
Now we’re paying the price, yet again, for Neocon policy.
All while doing everything they can to crash the US economy from here. Lockdowns, forced jabs for certain groups, killing energy independence, 2 trillion 'stimulus', more than half a trillion to Ukraine government, sending our weapons stockpile to Ukraine after having left a bunch to the Taliban, using up US oil reserves, choosing not to fix supply chain issues.
Between unfixed supply chain issues, rising fuel and fertilizer prices, plus some weather issues and Cali messing with truckers, expect food prices to double by the end of the year. That means many millions more will apply for EBT which will raise the debt even further.
This is not good newssky.
Old Jellyhead Joe’s female advisors want us to be a slave to Iran.
BRICS is not a coalition. India and China HATE each other. In fact, prior to Putin going nuts, I’d’ve picked India vs China as the the most likely nuclear Armageddon scenario. The entire news story is that Saudi Arabia is going Chinese.
“For the USA, its going to suck, but it may provide an enema for our body politic”
Well. It already sucks! We’ve been bamboozled and lied to by our feeble leaders for many years. Our power to change it from the inside is greatly diminished (aka, the election theft of 2020 and the massive state). While we can be lied to and steamrolled with little to no consequences by the idiots in government it is a whole different matter when the US (the bully) goes up against someone that is willing to fight and can win. And they are winning at the moment and if we don’t wake up they and their new group/coalition will win in a very big way.
In the end, this may be the event that saves our collective butts.
I have long since given up on any possibility of maintaining our privileged economic position in the world. Our feckless leaders squandered that long ago and we have been in a steady decline for years.
We are going to go through a difficult adjustment (i.e. lower standard of living) to the reality that we no longer have global hegemony. No petro dollar; no reserve currency; no control of world wide banking.
But, there is a silver lining in the cloud we find ourselves in. We have ticked off so many countries that they have been exploring forming competitive power blocks (multi-power blocks) at an escalating pace and this recent Ukraine episode of mind-numbing bullying under Biden appears to be “the last straw.”
These new multi-polar entities will kill the globalists plans for global centralized government under the elites/oligarchs/corporate fascists and offer us our only hope of taking back our own government (of the people; by the people; for the people.)
We have got to stop interfering in other countries’ policies, elections, etc. We have got to start respecting the decisions other people choose to live under. We are not the world’s policeman, nor the world’s ruler.
I am cheering for Russia’s defeat of NATO which will end “the new world order.” It can’t come too soon.
The purpose is to analyze prospects they can use to pressure Biden.
Their sales are predominately not to the BRICs but to states preferring oil denominated in dollars.
But the negotiations will help the Saudis pressure stupid Biden anyway.
This is huge. Instead of making predictions, perhaps Real Americans should start (or continue) making contingency plans.
