Thank you. It’s remarkable how some get all pissy when their stale political order is challenged. As if this mess of a government is representative of normal values and norms. They’re damaged and they haven’t a clue.

Your complaint is noted and I’ll forward it to Goldman Sachs, the brains behind BRICS. Now run along and find a tree stump to argue with.

The Biden administration also knows that thanks to their green lunacy of no drilling, no pipelines and no new refineries

No oil industry manager is going to commit to developing or building anything with this insane anti-crude oil administration. These decisions turn on huge sums of money and long term commitments with a favorable future. That’s why our 50 year only refineries are being decommissioned as they wear out.

I certainly do read English but I’ve yet to master the disjointed mumbles of a psychotic. Either come back with a translator or return to posting obscure articles from National Enquirer.

” It’s remarkable how some get all pissy when their stale political order is challenged.”


What I think is remarkable is how anyone could expect the advantageous position the United States was in after the end of the Cold War to be permanent.

Our super power adversaries were either weak (China) or “defeated” (Soviet Union)

We were at the height of our power both economically and militarily.

Reality in 2022... China has been growing in leaps and bounds both economically and militarily. Russia has developed what is now the strongest military in the world. The United States has declined measurably both economically and militarily and many noted military analysts believe we could not currently engage a “near-peer” force.

Hence, much of the rest of the world are pushing back on our much resented role of making the international rules and engaging in mafia like tactics to achieve acquiescence from weaker countries. We, of course, in a desperate attempt to maintain that world hegemony are doubling down.

Not surprisingly it is not going well.

1. Biden Administration will not invoke the penalties involving banking and currency transfers for those who violate the American sanctions against Russia. If they did, it would mean a very serious confrontation with India, China and Brazil.

2. (Reply to above) So in sum, the US deep state declaring economic war against all of Asia, and the leaders of South America and Africa. Smaaaaaart.

No, the opposite. Biden - and his handlers - WILL INVOKE and demand Russian boycotts and sanctions against Russia be enforced firmly and precisely against UNITED STATES companies (or susceptible European companies doing business with Russia; but WILL NOT demand boycotts and publicity and economic sanctions against companies doing business with Russia (Iran, Syria, China, India, Brazil, Pakistan, Indonesia, etc) if these are "favored nations" who we do not want to harm or inconvenience!

The BRICS mechanism aims to promote peace

Not with terrorist states like Russia, China, Cuba and Iran as members they don't

get lost with your constant Russian propaganda
