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.
