Anyone else think trump is going to plummet the west into world war three and that might be the next catalyst for a full scale class conflict based civil war in the us? With talks of imposing automatic registration of gen z into selective service and the response gen z has had to the whole brian thompson/luigi mangione story it seems that they would be far more likely to revolt rather than go and risk death for our war profiteering billionaire overlord. The way shits going in the middle east and in the us things seem like a powder keg more now than ever and the ever growing financial alliances of countries that have joined, are just joining or soon to join BRICS big things could happen as a result. Maybe im just being paranoid?

Wait, why were Saudi Arabia and Turkey invited?

Mexico is probably next, LESSSS FUCKING GO!

The ASEAN countries joining seems like a big deal since they were supposed to be the US's alternatives to China's manufacturing. The only other big alternative is Mexico who is also drifting closer to BRICS.

If there's ever a war, Australia is getting absolutely rekked by a hundred different ethnicities, most of them ASEAN (none of them crakkkkkkas)

wouldn't even need a military invasion, just refugees alone would take the continent

Anyone think that there will really be a BRICS currency?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Yes, but more like the bancor (a la Keynes) for central bank settlements rather than a currency you or I could use to buy lunch.

I hope they develop some kind of way to avoid western currencies, so yeah, a BRICS currency would be neat
