Both Cuba and Venezuela are moving closer to BRICS.

Thanks to Trump (by accident) and Russia (on purpose) BRICS is growing.

When you have a rogue regime in Washington that is attacking literally everyone, that means everyone is going to first de-Americanize (that includes de-dollarization) then seek an alternative; and what's better than a powerful bloc like BRICS with 3 superpowers in it already

Here in Venezuela everyone used the USA dollar, all prices are tagged in dollars and can be paid both in cash USD or using our currency (equivalent price in USD).
Here nobody cares about the Chinese yuan or the Russian Ruble, so it would be foolish to believe there is a de-dollarization going on here, it is completely the contrary.

From poor selling slices of cake to survive, to ice cream stores and movie theaters, all of them tag their products and services in Dollars, and that is not going to change soon.
I mean, even the government sell their gasoline in gas stations for dollars.

Anyone telling you this place is moving away from the USD is laying to your face, as simple as that.

You are spot on my friend. New members like Saudi Arabia and Iran will make BRICS even more stronger.

BTW, China, Russia, and what other country makes it the third?

I love your post and your frank words about how he United States is helping Venezuela and Cuba to join BRICS.
Many countries the US had fought against have turned to BRICS for support so that the US and other Western countries do not use their influence to crumble the economy of these countries. Trump could be indirectly helping BRICS to grow stronger and bigger than NATO in coming years with the way he had been flexing excessive power to punish countries that do not support his authoritarian regime.

The Chinese and Russian government have their own international payment system that have been used to bypass the world most used SWIFT payment system. The Cross-border Interbank Payment System known as the CIPS that is developed by China and backed by many countries due to the vast trades China has with almost all the countries of the world, this has enabled China and BRICS to create their own constitution and payment system that will dump the USD reducing it impacts and making each countries to trade together without the need to use USD. This will enable them to bypass international sanctions on BRICS countries so it will no longer have serious effect on them.

BRICS is growing very fast and their will be more countries that will join them soon due to the hash tarrifs Trump is using to punish countries that go against his will. His anger on Venezuela will attract other vulnerable countries to join the BRICS which is going to affect the United States supremacy as a world power.

It is India and possibly Brazil, as they are the quartet that makes up BRICS.

They are indeed a powerful bloc as they account for more than 41% of global GDP or 50% PPP, hold more than 50% of global population and labor, 60% of industrial output, 45% of global minerals, 55% of nuclear weapons and finally 63% of technological patents.

It can be said that they are a real counterweight to G7 or NATO at the present time and it will not be too difficult to surpass in the future when most of the world wants to join and support them instead of G7 and NATO.

[Hispo]

Most of you are over-estimating BRICS, honestly.
A year ago people talked continuously about an hypothetical currency being issued by BRICS and how it was going to take down Dollar off supremacy, that never happened and the United States dollar continue to be the most important currency around the world, being used even in countries which are against the USA.
I will continue to believe BRICS is just hot air and useless until I see they mint their own currency or their own infrastructure to push payments around the globe, in order to replace SWIFT. Since none of that has happened, BRICS continues to be a nothing burger.

Trump clearly has not learned any history lessons about how while he can indeed help line the pockets of oil executives by conquering Venezula, he will actually be known as a bad president just like Bush was. It seems like a plainly stupid decision just like his decision to throw the liberty caucus under the bus as a clearly anti-libertarian attack on his own party allies. We never have to worry about Trump becoming a king but its exceedingly obvious like most presidents he can violate the USA constitution and get away with it with impunity. The Democrats will impeach him for whatever nonsense people have all forgotten about because it made no sense, but they don't mention impeachment for a summary execution of dozens of people without a trial, boldly admitted by Trump himself? Trump has clearly taken a clear shift from anti-establishment to establishment, and his support by libertarians is essentially gone for that reason, so he will become quite unpopular until he apologizes to Rand and Massie and re-aligns himself with some moral values. I'm predicted a record low popularity figure as inflation continues to wear people's appreciation down for him.

Trump has to go to Asia where BRICS has got its most members to just settle some thing with China. While China doesn't have to go with these new allies that they have just for them to join. While he boasts that the meetings he made in the Asian countries are successful, this one has happened. As for looking for some news about it, did Brazil just vetoed this request of Venezuela?

Note one major thing. I am totally in favor of the American people. Americans simply have not understood how their Federal Government has betrayed them by manipulating Big Media the wrong way.

The best thing that Americans could do would be to recall essentially all their Congress people, and elect some honest ones.

The second thing they should do is recognize that all the laws in the US use the word 'person' when talking about people. But the legal definitions of the word 'person' refers to artificial entities and not to men and women, except when people agree that they are the 'person'.

Almost all the laws in the US and the States don't apply to men and women, personally. People are simply tricked with the usage of the word 'person' by government. Mostly, even the courts do not apply to them - https://educationcenter2000.com/.


I wonder if BRICS will let Americans join individually.

Wow, Cuba and Venezuela joining BRICS. Both these countries is such powerful economics that now USA and Trump must be in panic that they're joining BRICS. These news is so irrelevant that's not even worth to discuss.

Yeah, so far it was only words and promises. I'm still waiting when they will become huge force that will end US dominance.

I am neutral here and all I care about is peace not conflict that could lead to severe war involving the BRICS nations and NATO.
It is too early for the world to experience another war again because the last war was devastating that took the lives of people that never initiated the ideas. Let's call for peace and not the drama we have been seeing with Trump and Venezuela president.

Do not forget that the United States has caused more harm/conflict than any country in the world and this has to stop.
There are so many wars that had been linked to the US but the world is not saying anything. The US will always be the first country to accuse others of bad leadership, embezzlement and corruption when they US has outgrown this level.

I choose to be neutral on this but frown at the bad energy coming from great nations from the West that are supposed to cancel any idea of conflict/war that will bring the whole world into a state of stagnation. We love peace and we should embrace it not by saying it but displaying the opposite.

Remember one thing. People don't do things that harm themselves or that have no benefit for them. War isn't good for anybody who is killed by it. So, why do people fight in wars? Because they are tricked by their leaders into thinking there is something good in it. The only other thing is when it is self-defense that they can see happening... like when they see an armed enemy coming over the hill a mile away.

The BRICS vs. Western banking is a rather peaceful war for the people who live in Western countries. They are tricked by the media so they don't see much of the fighting and death that it took the banking system to expand as it has around the world.

BRICS may be partly this way, too. But BRICS is a voluntary thing. It is competition for the Western banking system. Why would anyone want to compete with the Western banking system? Because that system is quietly taxing people who use it, gradually taking up ownership of the world. And most of the people don't even realize it.

One of the best ways out of the Western banking system is doing barter in Private Membership Associations in the US. BRICS might be helpful for PMA members to do things where barter can't seem to manage.

You are kinda out of luck, except if you live out in the woods where nobody bothers you, and raise your own vegetables and meat. If you are living in the big city, and using the banking system, you are part of the war without even knowing it.

BTW, China, Russia, and what other country makes it the third?

Iran.
There is no other country with soft power as strong as Iran (every other "ism" is dead: communism, liberalism, globalism, ...) that also is technologically advanced and has vast amount of resources and infrastructure to match them. On top of that has a military might that can face the entire NATO in a "coup war" and not just survive it but deal deadly damage back.

I was hoping you would mention Saudi Arabia. They have enough resources to sponsor or support any weapon, coup and provide fire-arms in case of conflict. Probably the richest in the Middle East, of Asia.
Iran on the other hand is very advanced, I can go for them as well. You have a good point.
