Very insightful read. These shifts are also apparent in the security space. In Africa, for example, the US wants to scale down it's military presence, creating a security vacuum. To some extent, China is already filling in some gaps. I think security could be high up in the BRICS summit agenda.

Yes, that's right. We recently participated in the 13th International Meeting of Senior Security Representatives, during which discussions also included the BRICS countries and the SCO. It is a topic that is becoming increasingly important within the group.

Unfortunately, this shift away from US$ will make it more difficult and more importantly more costly to fund MIC and that cost will be passed to the US taxpayers as imperialistic pursuits will not be deterred. There's a genocide to be funded and someone has to pay for it.

For some reason the statement “post WWII dollar centric order” made me laugh. That is so last millenium!

I enjoyed the read!

Brazilian economy will possibly collapse by 2026-27 and China's economy is not going well due to lack of internal demand. Russia is losing manpower and resources in the war with Ukraine. S. Africa also has economic problems. O do not believe Brics will succeed to its intent of defying the US dominance and better under America's freedom fighters than under dictatorships.

By the way your reply was a tentative to gaslight me. You did not respond to my criricism giving any data against my affirmatives ( whose content I got in alternative medias).

I don't want to offend, but I think your criticisms are a bit biased and funny, and I just responded in the way I thought was appropriate. No hard feelings.

I think the biased person here is you. To defend a bunch of dictators is from someone very immature or complict of their misdeeds. Byeee... be happy.
