Why do you want de-dollarisation to fail?
because it doesn't make any sense to me. Also BRICS terrorist states like Iran. Iran is a very dangerous country and need to dealt with tough sanctions whenever the ho haywire. Iran cannot afford to have her around and get whatever she needs. Iran cannot have nuclear weapons else the world is in trouble and Iran belongs to BRICS which is why I want .................
....de-dolarisation to fail.

My opinion though....it might not matter...

U seems to be the only that had a smidgen knowledge of international politics. The rest are as hollow as Trump himself.

If Donald trump actually read a book, he’d learn that neither protectionism nor isolationism work in this 21st century, these countries can do the same tarrif on US as well

You don't know that U.S. arrogance and bullish behavior is the very reason BRICS was formed

He's going to destroy US economy and push allies away, he knows nothing

And what is it that makes them 'foolish'?

I assume you are Nigerian. Many, many years ago, your country (among many others) was under colonial rule - the 'dominant power structure' of that time. Was it 'foolish' to demand independence and rebel against that dominant power structure? undecided

I trust America more than China or Russia as the only superpower.
America , Japan, S Korea and the EU for example have a moral way of doing things, protect rights and freedoms of their people though some of their leaders are selfish.
China and Russia. Are not trustworthy at all, if they had the power America has they would bludgeon weaker nations
China is not charitable at all like the countries I mentioned

So I came across this post on trump's Facebook account and I couldn't just believe it.
I still can't believe so many Americans voted for this joker. He thinks tariffs are the solution to everything. Does he even know what impact it will have on Americans? At the end of the day, those tariffs would get transferred to them.

They removed Russia from SWIFT, yet Russia is still standing strong. Trump needs to learn that he can't bully countries to dance to his tune like the way he bullies people in his personal and political life. It simply won't work. Collaboration is key in geopolitics.
Re: Trump Threatens BRICS Countries Over Abandoning The Dollar by Nobody: 6:09am On Dec 02, 2024
Exactly. Americans will regret voting Trump.

Mind you, there were people who prevented him from doing his worse during his first term. Now, he's gotten rid of them and is appointing only people who would do as he says.

I don't even want to imagine the chaos that will ensue in the next 4 years. Americans will remember why they voted him out in 2020.

BRICS is a joke. Trump's a patriot(most of the time), through and through, and he's all about putting America first. You can't have your cake and eat it, according to him, - you gotta choose between the US dollar or watching your economy go down the pan.

It's their call. Trump's made it clear, he won't let anyone mess with the US dollar, and if you're not on board, you're on your own. You have a choice. Choose freedom🦅🦅🇺🇲!

Re: Trump Threatens BRICS Countries Over Abandoning The Dollar by epainos: 6:15am On Dec 02, 2024
Everyone is curious about how this will end. To be honest, Americans should be pleased with this bold move; however, for BRICS, it should be a wake-up call to bull crap the US. We will see who wins here. The US wants to go against Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Hmmmm. This is very tricky. But I suppose the United States must try; otherwise, they will lose everything. And BRICS must also resist; otherwise, they will be crushed for the next 50 years. As soon as Trump gets on board, the US will either continue to reign or begin to fall. Whatever the case, I pray that God's people are protected and provided for. It is well.

Brics currency is a reality you and the USA must begin to accept and work with.

Trump can sanction and do whatever but it will not stop the brics. The dollar had it's time and USD will still be an international currency anyway but the brics currency will also be an international currency.

It isn't about choosing the Russian rouble. Russia is not the only country in BRICS.

Can US economy stand in isolation? Are they self-sufficient? Only time will tell, he is a politician and business man trying to scare nations as usual, that is the America's tactic, if you resist, they will seek alternative means which is usually sponsoring terrorist on your nation.
Re: Trump Threatens BRICS Countries Over Abandoning The Dollar by Wallade(m):

Saying Trump doesn't read books is a cheap shot. Lol But, let's focus on the the part we here for.

BRICS is never a viable alternative to the US-led global order as you guys call it, because it's just a loose association of countries with different economic systems, political structures, and interests.
They're not exactly a cohesive unit, if you know what I mean.
The US has been using tariffs and other trade restrictions to protect its interests for ages. It's not like Trump invented protectionism. Lol

Now, about those tariffs. Yeah, other countries can impose tariffs on the US, but it's not a straightforward game of tit-for-tat. The US has a massive economy, and its trade relationships are large. Imposing tariffs on the US would likely hurt other countries more than it would hurt the US. China for one doesn't want that.

Whatever Trump plans to do is his issue. One thing about politics is you can never fully predict the outcome, so keep spectating. Every country will want to place it's interest first, sincerely that's how you survive!
Who are the Brics countries?

Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and UAE.

USA can't afford not to do business with China and India for the next forseable future. USA has special interest in UAE.

The dominance of the USD in international trade empowered the US dollar at the expense of other currencies.

We are experiencing the same problem in Nigeria too. That is part of the reason the executive decision was made to trade crude oil to local refineries in Naira.

I support the introduction of brics currency as a new international currency. The USA should welcome the introduction of the new international currency; welcome competition.

Simple.
Re: Trump Threatens BRICS Countries Over Abandoning The Dollar by Guestmale: 6:30am On Dec 02, 2024
Each country should be able to determine what currency most suitable for them but then the BRICS nations are mostly terrorists supporting nations, which if they are able to have a strong and independent economy will do worse than this. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and being supported by North Korea and Iran and Iran supporting terrorists in the middle east are examples of their atrocities.

Which international organizations sanctioned the US when they invaded Iraq and Libya. History did not start in 2022.
You get time dey reply stüpid idiøts that don't make research and think Russia is really the devil the MSM has painted it, forgetting their Messiah USA invaded Vietnam, Iraq in 2003, is currently in Syria rigjt now without invitation from the syrian government, dropped 2 nukes to murder civilians in japan and so forth. and note: these countries the US have invaded did nothing and posed no threat whatsoever to the US yet the US went in and ravaged Vietnam, Iraq, Japanese civilians that died via US nukes, Syria, Libya just to mention a few But somehow, they see the same US as the angel and Russia the devil lmfao 🤣🤣🤣.

Most of them really believed the war started "unprovoked" in 2022 forgetting there's something called history and events that preluded the war in Ukraine. They all want us to believe Russia just woke up one morning from sleep and decided to go into Ukraine "unprovoked" for the fun of it. That's where you'll know stüpid people are too much in the world and their weak dumb brains are a threat to world peace and development.

The BRICS nations are free to make their own decisions. At least the US is not planning to invade them like Russia did to Ukraine for deciding their own future.

Now, if you're gonna chat about ditching the US dollar and reduce reliance, you gotta ask yourself, why are you still using it? The US dollar is still the global reserve currency, and it's hard to see that changing anytime soon.

The BRICS countries still got a long way to go before they can challenge the US, know what I'm saying?
So, yeah, it's all good and well to talk about replacing the US dollar(your choice), but until someone comes up with a viable alternative, it's just chat. The US economy is still the biggest and the strongest, and it's gonna stay that way for the foreseeable future.

Who in their right mind will want to follow Russia after they've proven to be so weak? 😂
Smiles.... This no be movie ooo... Make America stop using Ukraine make them face Russia fully na ... I tell you both countries are going down ... No be those yeye movie and props media dey give una
