Hotice085: Ogbeni you see the BRICS only Russia and China are 5 n 6, do you think the Indians that have a deep control of the American economy will by any means undermine the Americans?
Aside that do you think Indians will accept the Yuan as international settlement, forget about Brazil they can only do business with the Chinese in Yuan just like what France did but any other country it is dollar
Look at football for instance, what do you think the Brazilian generates from it and in what currency? Then tourism, music, entertainment and much more
The BRICS economy put together how many of them rank in the top 20 in the world? Any country that wants to take over America or the Dollar must offer the world better things that America have offered in terms of SOFT POWER and HARD Power not by economic competition or war
You think the Indians will want to lose out? Highest they will play both fields. SA will definitely lean towards Russia and China and against the Petro Dollar.
SA had applied to join the BRICS. India will be a lone ally.
BidenDTrounced: Gas prices dropped during covid (in Canada) why? Movements were restricted, lock downs, fewer cars on the road and therefore less demand for gas. When demand is high, price is high and when demand is low, price is low. There was low demand and production was reduced.
Biden actually blamed President Putin for the increase in gas prices but you're saying it's Saudi Arabia. Americans blamed Biden and held him responsible so he had to save his own skin. It falls in the category of selfish interest.
"Meanwhile, countries that do not abandon thier national interests by refusing to jump on the isolation/sanction bandwagon of the West gets a lecture. Sermons that the West itself doesn't practice.." Why do other countries get a lecture when they have to 'cave in'
Biden wanted to take up the Kasshoggi case against MBS remember? Biden could not go to Russia, so he went to (SA) to increase supply to the US.
The BRICS collective, comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, is working on a common currency in an attempt to ditch the US dollar and push back against America’s dominance. The move comes as Moscow and Beijing call for de-dollarisation in the face of Western sanctions FP Explainers April 04, 2023 13:35:58 IST
If China and Saudi Arabia are in. . . it is GAME OVER FOR THE US DOLLAR.
Hotice085: Economic wetin! Boy it is dead on arrival..have you asked the Chinese which currency do they hold most of their reserves in? Switzerland and Luxembourg economy puts together will make Russia economy Chicken feed go ask yourself why? Lemme tell you something IMF and World bank can kill the Chinese economy if it comes to the grind, not to talk of America and the EU Take your time and research on SOFT POWER and understand how powerful it is when it comes to Economic matters Even the legal system of a country is a pointer for economic development
Let us see how it plays out. This happens every century you know? THE USD has not always been the global currency.
Do you think the USD will withstand the BRICS currency? I doubt it.
BidenDTrounced: Khashoggi must be rolling in the grave. The lesson I learnt is, never be loyal to a country (US) that attempted to use you do destabilize another country (Saudi). It comes with consequences. Khashoggi paid the price and what happened? He was discarded by the US. He'll be rolling in his grave if he gets to find out that the pedophile US president responsible for the thousands of deaths of children and other war crimes is begging Saudi. An inference of hypocrisy could also be drawn from that action. How? Despite the rhetorics and sentiments, Biden went begging for his own selfish interests. Meanwhile, countries that do not abandon thier national interests by refusing to jump on the isolation/sanction bandwagon of the West gets a lecture. Sermons that the West itself doesn't practice..
By the way, how's it going with Shireen Abu Akleh? She was a journalist murdered by Israel.
It is extremely complicated. Biden had to cave in when gas prices shot up because Saudi Arabia witheld production during COVID. It was HELL. After Biden came back from meeting MBS . . relief came to America. As for Khashoggi, extremely unfortunate.
Hotice085: Very nonsensical jargons, if Islamtimes think in the next hundred years any currency can outdoor the dollar you guys must be smoking cheap weed from Saudi Arabia
You think controlling the world is by political and economic policies alone, if you bunch understand what is called SOFT POWER you load of noisemakers will sit up in one dark corner of any room and shut d 4k up
After the Dollar comes the Euro, same with the Eurozone coming next in soft power after the almighty US of A, what does the Chinese offer aside trade? Is the country open to the World, how many tourist visits there, how many Chinese music,films and sport games have penetrated the world? What does Chima bring to the global community in terms of soft power, only Coca cola sold America to the world and when Macdonald first landed in Russia the queue in Moscow was and still a record by any franchise
The simple fact is this China and Russia can NEVER overtake America in the next 100years if they think by remaining a communist state
While in America and many western nations, the political parties in these countries stand as check to themselves that can't be said in China Russia where just one man, one party pulls the shot
No body said anything about over taking America. It is an economic war.
OBIDIENTS. . . I SAY PEPPER DEM, FAYA DEM DIE!!! No intimidation. . . no fear. WE NOR DEY TIEF OR DO DRUGS. . . NO CRIMINAL RECORD ANYWHIA IN THE WORLD. Las las. . . na nyansh we go sell!
Cyber attack would have been better than 'INEC ATTACK'. What a bloody liar. Na only presidential election the 'cyber' fit attack? This area-fada of a M0r0n thinks he is addressing agbado farmers in his LGA.
BidenDTrounced: Biden went to beg the Saudi prince and he literally got fist bumped The Saudi prince basically ridiculed Biden and whatever he represents God bless Saudi.
The US will always reap what they sowed. Saudi Arabia will reap their own too. So glad Qatar showed them serious PEPPER! Imagine paying homage to a cold-blooded murderer all because of oil? No wonder TIFFNUBU has guts!
