[@EugeneTolmachev]

With "us vs them" mentality being so prevalent, I think it's important to note that BRICS as a whole and with every state individually is not aiming for "friends and allies" exclusivity. They want to do business with everyone, so it's not a political or ideological alliance, unlike, say G7.

[@garzila]

Absolutely correct

[@DrVictorVasconcelos]

It's political, but not military. Brazil sells even military hardware to most of Europe. The only refusal I can recall right now is some equipment the Germans wanted to send to Israel. We also canceled purchases from Israel itself. Otherwise, we sell to the Netherlands, Portugal, Hungary, South Korea, etc.

[@Rando-user-zm1fx]

Partially correct, and in the future likely false.

[@lefttoitall2982]

@@ralphee7487 True. However he was not wrong in this specific conversation about the BRICS + countries unlike Patrick Bond who is somehow equating an anti-imperialist movement to an imperialist movement. Patrick also mentioned he was just talking to Vijay Prashad and I have not heard Vijay talk about BRICS in such terms. Granted there are many issues, there are many countries with many issues, there are many Arab countries playing both sides but this is only the first steps in what is going to be a monumental undertaking. This is going to be a long process and we can't even predict where it will go.

[@lijackson-x6r]

The use of US dollars by BRICS countries in trade and investment will gradually decrease, and the over-printed US dollars will further push up inflation. Countries such as Europe, Japan, and South Korea may suffer from chain inflation shocks, while the impact on BRICS countries will be smaller. no wonder, the gold and silver price keep rising!

[@turanamo]

Patrick Bond was spot on with the lame BRICS statement about Gaza that did not condemn Isreal. But man is he wrong to point fingers at developing countries for global emissions when the West has since long been major contributors.

[@Lynn-i2w]

I think he would admit to the west being a great polluter. But the lame state of not condemning Israel is spot on. I wonder if they would allow Israel to join?

[@Celestial_Reach]

Yea, BRICS is no friend of the west. They don't care that isreal is doing what it's doing, they are working hard to bring down the us. They are.trying to show they are not the UN, they are the infant it's opposite, the opposite of NATO. This could literally change the world..and what makes me sad is we kinda pushed them into this

[@Smethells2023]

The West outsourced their industrial bases to those developing countries in the first place, so them complaining is hilarious. They produce all the essentials us Westerners consume.😂

[@rassvetlug6209]

Yes, the collective west exploits the global south and keeps them down developmentally and technologically, then blames them for greater emissions. Typical western imperialist thinking that blames its victims. Putin addressed this in the presser, adding that the exploitative 'loans' the collective west offers to poor countries don't help them develop and increase different technologies nor can they be paid back. This is a new tool for continuing colonialism.

[@rassvetlug6209]

Yes, Putin addressed this brilliantly in the presser.

People try to predict the economy not realizing it is not a capitalistic market, its a command economy, central planning! my concern is, instead of having much dollar in bank that could lose value to inflation, do I save in gold to reserve and grow wealth for now, or just hang on?

[@DanielleB.Wooten]

truth is that gold serves as an inflation hedge in the long run, but not profitable in the short run. only thing you can predict is a strong effort of wealth transfer from the people to the powerful. luckily some folks find solution in financial advisors

[@JohnNgomba-k3v]

I agree, having a brokerage advisor for investing is genius! Amidst the financial crisis in 2008, I was really having investing nightmare prior touching base with a advisor. In a nutshell, i've accrued over $2m with the help of my advisor from an initial $350k investment.

[@KimberlyO.Kitchens]

I'd like to have heard even a whisper more about the cumulative economic strengths and weaknesses of BRICS vs G7, trends, and assessments of the two "geosociopolitical" alliances. This is not new, nor is the fact that most American voters have no idea about it, and the US gov has not been idle.
