Thanks to senile Joe’s weaponizing the USD and sanctions, the world is realigning.
Mr. Oreshnik has been ordered to stand by with HE warheads (6x6=36) to be used against Kiev and Ukraine should there be any Ukrainian disruptions on 9 May.
Biden and Blinken were asleep at the corruption wheel; they were too focused on lining their own pockets to protect the interests of the US. When politicians and political parties only use their seats in government for personal gain, bad things happen.
Trump cannot undo Brics. He has tried to use Fair Trade and the threat of Sanctions... Sanctions are glue that binds Brics as of result of the weaponizaiton of Swift, along with the known theft by the EU or frozen Russian assets.
A much different world than it was 80 years ago - The USSR was our ally then - out of necessity...
“”some U.S. veterans will join the parade”” - I don’t expect there will be any US veterans from that era...and probably NONE from Russia either. Probably all have passed on.
Very well said. The next Brics meeting is in July.

The date and venue for the BRICS Summit in 2025 have been confirmed. It will take place in Rio de Janeiro on July 6 and 7. Authorized by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the announcement was made this Saturday, February 15, by Minister Mauro Vieira (Foreign Affairs) alongside the city Mayor, Eduardo Paes.
“It is a great pleasure to once again strengthen collaboration and partnership between the Federal Government and Rio de Janeiro. We will host Heads of State from the 20 countries that are part of the BRICS in the two categories, of full members and partners,” Vieira stated. “We will make very important decisions for development and cooperation and for improving the lives of all the inhabitants of these countries,” he added.
The Western MSM has again gone silent about Brics. The West scuttled their MBridge settlement system at the last moment, ( banning them) but they are now collectively bypassing the West’s treachery.
Rubio, our DOS head ( or representative) should attend. That would explode the heads of those infected with the Russian Derangement Syndrome.
Brazil = craphole
Russia = craphole
India = craphole
China = craphole
S. Africa = craphole
You forgot an important one:
Ukraine = craphole

“and probably NONE from Russia either. “
The average life expectancy for Russian males is 62 years.
Much less for those of the WWII era.
I can’t wait for Friday. I scored a table and chairs from a local coffee shop owner I am friends with, and will have front row seats for the Victory Day Parade here in my city.
It’s nice that the Chicoms are celebrating the end of WWII which they had little to do with. Mao hid up in the mountains while Chang’s army bled fighting the Nips while Mao plotted to overthrow Chang.
Saudi Arabia has replaced S.Africa as the S in Brics.
Over half of the world’s population is now trading between themselves outside the USD.
Every one of us in the US has benefited everyday of our lives piggybacking off the incremental dividends/fees the US accrued/s from the use of the USD.
The braintrust of Obama/Ms notsobright, and Biden/Blinken, did not engage in the proper diplomacy and instead completely cut diplomatic relations with Russia, and failed to stay abreast of the fallout from the weaponization of the USD via Switf, and sanctions. Forcing Russia out of USDollar based trade was strategic error.
Trump was trying to entice Russia with access to the USD and Swift... he got nothing using this carrot to help Ukraine. Russia has learned to live without the USD, and they are not going to put themselves into a position again where they can be sanctioned and pushed out of USD trade.
The entire world watched with horror when they saw EU countries dip into the frozen Russian assets, not only stealing the interest, but actually spending those assets. The EU is breaking international law doing this. They will have to pay it back, and they cannot afford to do so.
The Global South and the non-aligned countries were nearly forced to consider and make applications to join Brics; the lesson of the USA/EU doing what they did to Russia and other countries in the past, have led them to try to insulate themselves from being financially blackballed from international trade.
Brics has one guiding principle - no member can engage in sanctions.
Brics members are free to barter, use any currency to incude dollars, to come to agreement when making trade deals.
Two-thirds of the world’s population may eventually join Brics.
Brics will affect every single American’s lifestyle by depriving us from free money with discontinued use of the USD.
America is living in time when the elected politicians since Bush I thru Biden along with their appointees have used the government to make themselves rich, and they separated the American people/workers from their birthright of the American Dream.
Trump is trying to right the ship of state.
Free Trade negotiations are a stealth shot across the bow of the Brics.
