Putin gathers allies to show West pressure isn’t working
BBC ^ | Oct 21, 2024 | Steve Rosenberg

This week in the city of Kazan President Putin will greet more than 20 heads of state at the Brics summit of emerging economies. Among the leaders invited are China’s Xi Jinping, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

The Kremlin has called it one of the "largest-scale foreign policy events ever" in Russia.

"The clear message is that attempts to isolate Russia have failed," thinks Chris Weafer, founding partner of consultancy firm Macro-Advisory.

Brics stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The grouping, often referred to as a counterweight to the Western-led world, has expanded to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

Saudi Arabia, too, has been invited to join.

So the heads of governments are in Russia discussing the end to the US Dollar (hard to blame them). Sounds to me that the Zeepers have some EXPLAINING to do.

It is come out recently the lot of the agitators at the Capital on Jan 6 were Ukrainians and I’m sure our resident Zeepers are mostly Ukrainian.

“I’m sure our resident Zeepers are mostly Ukrainian.”

One, for sure, as she admitting to meeting Zelensky and his Wife (multiple times here). The others, likely Operatives, as they go dark for months, sometimes years, and then pop-up when the Neocons have some big ‘project’ underway.

And India just came for the coffee cake. They are not interested in dumping the dollar this week.

Brics stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The grouping, often referred to as a counterweight to the Western-led world, has expanded to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates. Saudi Arabia, too, has been invited to join.

The Brics nations account for 45% of the global population. Added together, members' economies are worth more than $28.5tn (£22tn). That's around 28% of the global economy.

Sit down, Waldo.

America makes up 4% of the world's population...

...and yet we crank out 24% of the planet's GDP.

And while we are at the top of the Countries that Consume the Most Oil (2020 barrels per day)

United States — 17,178,000
China — 14,225,000
India — 4,669,000
Saudi Arabia — 3,544,000
Japan — 3,268,000
Russia — 3,238,000
South Korea — 2,560,000
Brazil — 2,323,000
Canada — 2,282,000
— Germany 2,045,000

...we also top the list of Countries with the Highest Oil Production (barrels per day)

United States - 11,567,000
Russia - 10,503,000
Saudi Arabia - 10,225,000
Canada - 4,656,000
Iraq - 4,260,000
China - 3,969,000
United Arab Emirates - 2,954,000
Brazil - 2,852,000
Kuwait - 2,610,000
Iran - 2,546,000

Thus, we Americans, making up only 4% of the planet's headcount, produce about a quarter of GDP - punching way above our weight. In relative contrast, China is a joke.

And if THAT wasn't cool enough, America's 4% of the population is at the top of the equity market food chain:

And, of course, we win the gun race by a mile...

....but we're not losing the murder race.

As for the national debt, we have trillions in untapped oil and gas and mineral resources. IER estimated the worth of the government’s oil and gas technically recoverable resources to the economy to be about 8 times our national debt.

There are lots of problems in the US, but did you notice that even the economic doom newsletter sellers always take payment in fiat currency?

De-dollarization is a fantasy of the Harvard faculty, anti-Americans, and fearporn salesmen. Usually, they are cut from the same cloth.

America's eulogy has been written many times before. And we will emerge victorious this time as well.

Yup... And after all that... They’re still meeting in a phonebooth. Just like the axis countries did... Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito.
