I think I remember Trump suggesting we form a union/organization with other capitalist/democratic countries. We are in many that don’t support us. Sounds good to me.

Oh wait, I just noticed this is on the Council on Foreign Relations official website.   Don't click it FReepers!   Nobody needs to read their propaganda.

Brics is the alternative to the Swift Sanction Regime USD based trade system. Brics nations may not participate in sanctions. They do not have to use the USD and in fact they will use their own currencies, barter and BTC.
