Trump Threatens BRICS, Demands Not to Create Alternative to US Dollar

US President-elect Donald Trump has begun threatening BRICS. Let us recall that BRICS includes countries from different continents. These are Russia, China, Brazil, India, South Africa, Ethiopia, Iran and others.

Trump said he was demanding a "commitment" from BRICS that they "will not create their own single currency."

Trump's account published threats against BRICS:

We demand that they do not create a single BRICS currency or support any other currency to replace the mighty dollar. If they do not, they will receive 100 percent tariffs from the US and say goodbye to sales to our wonderful economy.

According to Trump, who himself criticized the dollar and the gigantic American debt in his campaign rhetoric, “there is no chance of replacing the US dollar.”

Trump:

Anyone who tries to do this must say goodbye to the United States.

I wonder if anyone has reminded Trump that China holds over a trillion dollars in US debt and is the US's largest exporter. If Trump were to cut off US trade with China, entire sectors of the US economy could go down the drain, since no non-BRICS bloc can currently supply the US with such volumes of goods and services.

Trump Threatens BRICS

Which is what was required to be proven. The sum does not change from the order of the terms, i.e. the arms clans will not let Trump stray from the beaten path. All his slogans about an immediate suspension of the war in Ukraine are pre-election balancing act. There's more to come!

[BABAY22]

Quote: kventinasd

As required.

But what does Ukraine have to do with it? There's a jack of all trades.
Why is everyone so angry at comrade Trump?
Trump is the President of the USA. He speaks for the interests of the USA. For his taxpayers. We all spoke out against globalism for national interests. Or did we?
Comrade Trump said - anyone who is against the dollar will not receive America's support.
If VVP said - whoever is against the ruble will not receive support from the Russian Federation

Or are both of them wrong?
In my opinion, both are right.

[Arkady007]

Countries around the world are accustomed to living by the dollar exchange rate; they are afraid to change the flow of the currency river.
The striped ones are used to having everything on their hook and don’t want to change the flow of this river.
While the world economy is approaching a collapse in trade.
The BRICS countries do not need the dollar, it slows down their mutual settlements. And the striped ones will do everything to ensure that the dollar remains alone on the mutual settlements market, if they stop controlling trade, they will immediately come to an end.

[BABAY22]

The world needs a common currency.
"The dollar" is needed by everyone. The whole world. Some common currency is needed, to which everyone can tie themselves in mutual settlements. Let it not be the American $, but the Chinese yuan, or the Russian ruble, but such a currency is necessary, both for corporations and ordinary people. So that, for example, having arrived in the Cape Verde Islands, you could buy the same goods as in Moscow, for about the same money and not bother.

Quote: BABAY22

We need some kind of common currency that everyone can use for mutual settlements.

GOLD has always been such a world currency! And Stalin understood this well!
The retreat from Stalinism and the betrayal of socialism began with the coming to power of the "corn man" Khrushchev.

What to do with the gold rate - so that everyone recognizes it? Focus on the LME ?
What should those countries do - where there is no gold? None at all?

[Tatyana]

Quote: your1970

What should those countries do - where there is no gold? None at all?

These countries should create their own domestic goods and sell them to other countries for gold!

Now the same thing is happening, only instead of gold the American dollar is a piece of paper, which is printed in incredible quantities by Jewish bankers of the US Federal Reserve System. No other country, except the USA, issues American dollars.
It would be the same as if the only gold in the world was in the United States.

[your1970]

Quote: Tatiana

These countries should create their own domestic goods and sell them to other countries for gold!

And who will buy them from them? Especially for gold? What can countries that do not have their own gold produce that others do not?

[Tatyana]

This means that these countries will sit with their tails between their legs, in their place, and not show off, like, for example, the TRIBALTS and the like!

They will value their enterprises, their domestic labor market, and also the labor of other peoples and countries invested in their development.

There will be peace and quiet.

[your1970]

Quote: Tatiana

Quite the opposite - they, just like the Limitrophes, will be forced to find a strong master and will bark at his command. And if he orders, they will try to grab your throat.
So your option is not only unfeasible, it also won’t bring peace...

[Tatyana]

Firstly, it is natural that peace is a relative concept.

And secondly. The limited availability of physical gold in nature also limits the capabilities of all countries, including in terms of waging war. Including, first of all, the globalists of the US "deep state". That is, from the side of the US Federal Reserve bankers with their desire for world domination.
After all, their dollar bill is essentially just a piece of paper, promoted by financiers as a branded product of a specific bank on the financial market, which can be exchanged for anything, just like in a financial pyramid.

In itself, this dollar bill-paper as a commodity is worth nothing. Its nominal value exists only in our brain. But you can print as many dollars as the bankers-sellers want - an abyss! And exchange them for all the wealth of the gullible naive natives, leaving them with these pieces of paper as if there was a default, for which it will be impossible to buy anything.

By the way. The freezing of $300 billion of Russian money in the West by Washington and the "Washington Regional Committee" countries is essentially the same artificial default of US dollars for the purpose of robbery by raider methods.

That is why now the same Great Britain and other countries are buying up gold in huge quantities, by the way, from the same Russia.
Why our Central Bank Nubiullina and the Minister of Finance Siluanov do this, I don’t know.

Tatyana , it would be interesting to see an article about the analysis of the expansion of the American dollar in the West - an unplowed field.
An organization like NATO serves, among other things, to guarantee the “non-departure” of countries that have fallen into dollar bondage.

[bayard]

Quote: Tatiana

This is exactly what it was put in place for - to restrain Russia's growth, to collapse the ruble exchange rate on command, to maintain a high or prohibitive interest rate on loans and to export gold to England. And it succeeds.

And yet Trump is magnificent, I simply applaud him standing up - in one fell swoop he killed the world dollar system under the slogan of protecting the dollar and at the same time completely closed his market to cheap goods from competitors in order to launch his own production.
And who will be assigned the blame?
I just admire Trump's work, and he hasn't even taken office yet.

Excellent question! Even if you replace gold with any sv
Do you think that in Georgia they ask such questions? For example - What can we offer to the world market that the "banana" ("tangerine", "tomato") republics cannot offer? Apart from Russophobia and the threat to the Russian Federation, which are already obvious without any hints how they will end?

[Colleague]

What can countries that do not have their own gold produce that others do not?

In the same context one can ask:

For you personally - they produce Russophobia. You can print a lot of dollars, but not much physical gold.
and you can't print it.
This means that the US will demand much more for gold, for example, from the Limitrophes not only to bark - but, for example, to send sabotage and reconnaissance groups into the Russian Federation. Will we be able to cope - if ALL the Russophobes around and inside the Russian Federation do this?

There are half the world's worthless paupers like these... And they will all unanimously extend their hands and be given gold - for Russophobia.
Only now dollars are printed and gold is limited. It will be given only for [b]actions (and not for the current barking) /b] of Russophobes - for example, for sabotage in the Russian Federation.
And to everyone at once - we won’t be able to buy off the US mongrels, too much gold will be required to change regimes.

So no one answered - how to set the gold rate? LME won't work , the stock exchange is generally impossible, the Russian Federation can be ruined for cowards in 10 minutes - by dropping trading.

This way you can bring down any currency, it all depends on who the financial system is subordinate to. Therefore, for now the only insurance can be several financial systems and not the monopoly you dream of.

China holds US debt more than a trillion dollars and is also the largest exporter for the United States.

Japan, which holds $1,1 trillion in assets, sold $61,9 billion, while China with 0,75 trillionreduced its assets by $51,3 billion.
This data is for September 24. The author of the article needs to be more correct.
Let's wait until Trump's inauguration day and then we'll see.
And this is all just idle chatter and empty talk of a politician.

Having arrived on the Cape Verde Islands, you could buy the same goods as in Moscow, for about the same money, and not bother.

Not necessarily. Russia and China would be better off converting part of their trade into rubles and yuan, at least in the amount of equivalent exchange of goods. This would be easy to do under a state and socialist economy. It is very easy to start trade with the DPRK without the dollar. All that is needed is Putin's will to break the sabotage of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The only problem is that you can only trade in rubles with the Russian Federation - few people need rubles, and in dollars or yuan - with a significantly larger number of countries

If not for rubles, then for BRICS, the collapse of the dollar is just around the corner, and the West understands this, which is why they cling to it so fiercely, including with a war on Ukrainian territory...

Well, the BRICS countries should introduce mutual settlements equivalent to the market value of gold (!). Even if in their national currencies. And at the same time they would also massively "unload" themselves from US dollar debt bonds... !!! Let the US and the EU "have an economic fever, and amuse the dissatisfied with revolutions" a little, with civil wars on THEIR territories... !!!
Look, they will have less time to “export their democratic values” while they will be forced to “patch up their own caftans”... ?!!
Wouldn't it be fun to watch all this...?!!

Trump Threatens BRICS, Demands Not to Create Alternative to US Dollar

In such cases, I.V. Stalin used to say:
- if our enemies scold us, it means we are doing everything right!!

[dmi.pris1]

Yes, both are right. And also about China and its power in relation to the USA. If Trump cuts off ties with China, then first of all it will not be the US economy that will collapse, but the PRC

[Dilettante grandfather]

Why is everyone so angry at comrade Trump?
Trump is the President of the United States. He advocates for the interests of the United States.

He has every right to advocate for the interests of the United States, but he has no right to dictate his terms to other countries. Will the BRICS countries say goodbye to the United States? And what will happen to the United States after that? Without Chinese goods, without the minerals needed for electronics, without uranium, which they do not enrich?.. Without many things that the Americans export?
And what if after this the BRICS countries demand repayment of the debt on obligations?
No, Donald is simply burying the US with such a statement. And driving it into a trap.

[Il'nur]

Without a lot of things that Americans export?

And paid for by cut green paper, which is not backed by anything, and the price for them is the cost of this cut paper. If the role of the dollar in the world falls, then it will become only cut paper, the internal monetary unit of the USA...

In general, I didn't think that Trump would come up with such an idea himself. Although, for example, the first one who said that the "SP-2" under construction would be destroyed was Trump. And now Germany wants to sue Trump for damages for the explosion of "Nord Stream".
Most likely, Trump's threat to the BRICS countries comes not so much from Trump himself, but from the bankers of the US Federal Reserve at the instigation of the Rothschilds. Namely.

According to data as of January 16.01.2016, 174, the Rothschilds recognized their influence on 193 banks, despite the fact that UN member states are XNUMX. The Rothschilds are rumored to have unlimited influence in all but five of these 174 countries. But since the list also includes banks that the Rothschilds do not own, it means that the Rothschilds have some other leverage over them. Who isn't on the list!
Until recently - As of 2016, there were only 5 independent State Banks in the world, and, consequently, UN member countries: Belarus, Venezuela, Vietnam, Cuba and Syria. Regarding Iran and North Korea, there is no exact data, and the status of unrecognized territories is not taken into account.
Nevertheless, the list showed: 14. National Bank of the Republic of Belarus: 170. Central Bank of Venezuela; 171. GB of Vietnam; 41. Central Bank of Cuba.

I looked for the Central Bank of Russia and other Russian banks in the list, but so far - 2016 - I have not found them in the list.

Here is a list of these banks *:

Trump's usual tactic is to first threaten dire punishments, then offer a deal.

[alexoff]

Threatens 100% duties, but so be it, there will be 50% duties. I won't be surprised if in 10 years, following Pelevin's precepts, the US will simply impose a tithe on every person on the planet. Because they can. And all the rulers will agree.

[Dinic]

I'm not an economist, but I think that if Trump tries to impose 50% tariffs on ALL BRICS members, the first to suffer will be the US itself.

[alexoff]

And he is sure that BRICS will be the first to get scared and back down. I don't remember the US receiving any tangible economic response since 1973, they start putting pressure on someone and that someone backs down or at most fights back weakly.

[Victor Alien]

But the economy of the USA, Europe, China and Turkey is a mess. In Turkey, there are already 1 billion worth of counterfeit dollars. 2 months of waiting for dancing in the fire, not "on", but "in". 1973 was not even flowers, but seeds.

[Dinic]

This was because they used the "divide and rule" method and put pressure on each individual. Now the conditions have changed a little and if the BRICS countries show more unity than before, then the US may break its teeth.
They themselves discredited the dollar. Actually, that is why BRICS is developing. Here, in addition to threats, something else is needed to maintain weight in the global economy.

[alexoff]

Well, for now they are able to separate. The sanctions against R are being implemented by the other BICS.

[Vasia]

I am not an economist either, but I am firmly convinced that as long as the American dollar dominates the list of reserve currencies, they (the US) don’t care about anything... That’s why Trump got so furious about the creation of the BRICS currency.

[Zoldat_A]

Quote from alexoff

Threatens 100% duties

And hasn't he forgotten that the US market is three times smaller in terms of heads than, for example, India? Not to mention China.

The US has no economic methods to ensure the hegemony and inviolability of the dollar. They have ALL run out.
Options? As usual, bomb? And the belly button won't come undone?
The same India, not to mention China and Russia, is not Gaddafi with his “golden dinar”.

Let them relax and enjoy themselves. And then - it's up to us. May God give us enough strength to finish what we started in the world.
The collapse of the dollar as a world currency, in my opinion, is quite comparable in significance to the collapse of the colonial system in the last century. There was enough strength then. And now, I would like there to be enough.

[alexoff]

They count not by heads, but by wallets. An American can buy much more than any Indian village. And Indians dream of becoming programmers and moving to the USA. I won't even mention how many Chinese there are in the USA. And the big question is - who are they for? For their old or new homelands?

[Zoldat_A]

Quote from alexoff

They don't count heads, but wallets.

Well, I don't believe that a 100% duty on imports to the US is a whip only for BRICS. It seems to me that it will whip the US no less. Trade is a mutual matter. Yes, one will not know where to sell. But the other will know where to buy.

And, moreover, Alexander, that your truth is -

Quote from alexoff

An American can buy much more than any Indian village.

WHAT will he buy if the seller cannot sell with such duties? Will Europe become China's "import substitute"?

[alexoff]

Quote: Zoldat_A

It seems to me that he will whip the USA no less.

not less, but for Americans everything is simple - if you don't have enough, then it's your own fault. They don't remove homeless people and drug addicts from the city center so that those living in the houses know - if you behave badly, you'll join them. Democrats will already be telling that it's all Trump's fault.

Quote: Zoldat_A

But the second one will know where to buy.

Well, as usual - some India will merge, it's okay for them to sell to the Americans, their foreign trade deficit is more than a hundred billion. The Americans are so brave because there is no leadership among their enemies, they will bury their future for the sake of immediate gain.

Quote: Zoldat_A

Will Europe become China's "import substitute"? laughing

India and other Vietnams, they are actually in the process. And the Chinese want things to be like before, somehow new, they are not very eager. With their capabilities, it is some kind of wildness to behave like this

No matter how much I watched and talked to them, I think that not only do we have different upbringing and ideology. Probably, our internal organs are different, too, since there is such a difference.

[alexoff]

Keep in mind that if they fall, a couple of hundred countries will line up to kick them and demand compensation. If you open the CIA archives, you can probably arrange a trial there that is worse than Nuremberg. That's why they are ready for a lot.

[BedMax]

Have you seen how some people in America buy?) They just take and load the carts, and don't even think about payment)))

[alexoff]

So it is paid, they will just add it to the price of the goods for those who pay. Or the store will go bankrupt, as if it were the first time

[Zoldat_A]

Quote: BedMax

Well, for example, I can also allow myself to "load" and not think about whether I have enough money at the checkout or not. I don't think that sweeping up everything that comes to hand in three carts, whether necessary or not, is a sign of great intelligence.

The last time it was possible to "sit it out" was about 50 years ago. And even then I'm not so sure. And today... For mutual destruction, in general, it doesn't matter whether they are in another hemisphere or directly bordering us.

Within the usual framework of Western democracy, everything is logical - the chief democrat sets the rules of conduct for everyone else, and, moreover, exclusively by democratic methods. Like, you may want to do things your way, but we have long arms.

[rocket757]

So democrats are such a thing... flexible, multi-purpose!
Where they don't agree with their democrats, there is a target for attack and this is still an "easy" option! If you are weak and can't fight back, they can/will try to level and say that it was like that!

[Sedov]

Trump simply decided to punish countries that are disappointed in the US by not letting them into the US, and to impose this dollar on economies that reject the dollar and threaten them... What an absurdity...

[Blacksmith 55]

This is the whole essence of the policy of all American presidents. Although the presidents themselves do not always decide for themselves. Not to let others grow, to slow them down in every possible way. But they miscalculated a little with China. China can easily be called if not the first then the second economy. And now they are trying to put pressure on it.

[rocket757]

So yes, the president is a public figure, there is such a vast, greedy, ruthless backstage that... in general it is clear, the public face is just a cover...
However, nothing new, it’s exactly the same everywhere.

[Эльдорадо]

That's how we need to start too!
- We demand!
Our people need to learn how to make demands.
- We demand that countries not join NATO!
And then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs mumbles something incomprehensible, difficult to understand, difficult to translate... for the people to whom it is addressed.

[rocket757]

Well then demand it, who's stopping you...
In this situation, demand or not, it's all the same, the foreign democrats have bitten the bit and are foaming at the mouth... they don't hear or listen to anything or anyone.
It will be like this until their horns are knocked off, then maybe their ears will clear up and their brains will at least start working somehow.
Conclusion... until you defeat the enemy on the battlefield, no one will listen to you.
Everyone hears the winners, but no one hears the losers.

Trump made threats

. This is expected and normal, from their point of view... and this is ONLY THE BEGINNING!

This isn't even the beginning.
There are just under two months left until the inauguration, and Trump is already hysterical.
He promises to impose duties on Mexico and Canada. He is ready to impose duties on half the world. Will the tax system not crack?
War in Ukraine, Syria, Middle East, Houthis etc. Now trade wars of everyone with everyone. US intelligence report that Russia will never use nuclear weapons.
It looks like the world is rapidly heading towards World War III.

[rocket757]

What is happening in our world in general, what is happening with our global economy... what is happening with the economies of countries that WERE the locomotive of everything and everyone???
The fact that everything and everyone is interconnected is not a figure of speech, it is just that way...
Some experts claim that prohibitive duties, in some cases, are a blow to the gut, first of all, to their own citizens, who are used to buying cheaper imported goods and will not be happy with a sharp increase in price, or even a complete absence of what they are used to buying at affordable prices!!!
Another question: how will the authorities of the Strip replace what they intend to fence themselves off from with all sorts of prohibitions and restrictions???
Although, the producers of those cheap goods will also not be happy, and may even howl from "grief"... this can also happen, it will certainly happen, if the new administration of the Strip carries out its threats!
The best of all will be those whose trade turnover with the Poles is close to zero... like, we have nothing to lose... although, as an option, our BRICS partners can... but what they CAN do, that's a big question???
The world has not revolved around one stripe for a long time now, it is MUCH, MUCH MORE!!!

[Machito]

The economy is not so good. If trade wars start, the consequences will be unpredictable. Moreover, everyone has enough problems with the economy, starting with the golden billion. There is no safe haven in sight.

[rocket757]

A safe haven... of the significant ones, there are probably none. Although, those who are largely self-sufficient, self-sufficient, will not be hit by the tsunami that destroys the economy with such force as some others.
In general, it will be possible to sit on the sidelines, not without losses and certainly not for everyone.

We have fuel, food, resources, a nuclear weapon. Maybe we'll hold out.

The striped ones were twisting the world to suit themselves, but it couldn't go on forever... so the time had come for them to twist themselves.
Apparently, this is not a joy for them!!!

It's started, Trump starts trying to "make America great again" with threats, as the states have long been accustomed to doing.

[Vasya_2]

Okay, he will do it... let's say.
What's next? Will he send AUGs to Ethiopia? And to Brazil? Or will he arrange a Latin American "spring"?
I'm not talking about China and Russia yet...

I think BRICS could even "turn into" a military alliance.

[Montezuma]

Quote: Vasya_2

will he send AUGs to Ethiopia? And to Brazil? Or will he arrange a Latin American "spring"?

It can be assumed that it will not come to this, they will try to put pressure economically. AUGs, this is more likely for the Middle East in the long term, if Iran fulfills its promise to respond to Israel. Let's see what will happen in reality after January 20.

Oh Trump, how many idiots admired you. What should Solovyov and Skabeeva do now?

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Quote: Buskan

Oh Trump, how many idiots admired you

Don't waste your time with nonsense, no one admired him or had any illusions, by the way, Trump has a trait, he first threatens, but as soon as they show him their teeth, he immediately pretends that he was just passing by and didn't mean anything like that

[Esaul]

Trump behaves exactly as shown in the movie "The Apprentice (2024)" about him. By the way, there he is shown as a greedy, ungrateful, unprincipled, mean and deceitful person.

[Leontrotsky]

This is something new. Neither Solovey nor Skabeeva were admired by Trump. And they have said more than once that nothing will change for the Russian Federation.

[Ghost1]

It’s strange, no one said it, but for some reason it all started to come out that “Trump is ours” and he will sort everything out.

[Leontrotsky]

Maybe someone did say it. But no one said such words, and I listen to Solovyov and Skabeeva quite often, in all seriousness. Sometimes jokes were made on this topic, but they were presented as jokes.

[Essex62]

They say what they are told from above. Naturally, the towers understand perfectly well that "making America great again" is only possible on the bones of competitors and they do not expect any gifts from Trump. But at least you can bargain with him, unlike the crazy neocons who dream of seriously reducing the number of mouths to feed by getting the world hooked on the rainbow. And also rushing towards the nuclear finish at full speed. I think they will find a common language and come to an agreement.

[Leontrotsky]

Well, the Supreme Commander once publicly declared that it would be better for the Russian Federation for Biden to win the elections. He said this, I think, to Zarubin.

[Essex62]

Well, that means there are reasons. There are opportunities to untie the knots of our Civil War and, in essence, NATO intervention, with him.

[guest]

If this does not happen, they will receive 100% tariffs from the US and say goodbye to sales to our wonderful economy.

Well, he won’t scare Russia with this, we are already under their hellish sanctions.

[Don Analyst]

Yes, yes, and will the US continue to impose sanctions against countries?
Donald, lift all sanctions, all countries. And countries will reach for the dollar themselves...

China and India, despite their economic interests, are taking into account the US demands for sanctions against Russia. They will also take this order into account. In fact, BRICS is just a political club, not an organization. .....
P.S. The Russian Federation also does not demonstrate "opposition" to the dollar. On the contrary - its rate is growing. Or, Elvira Sakhipzadovna is Trump's agent.

[Skobaristan]

The smile of wisdom is wonderful. But China takes into account the interests of the United States and limits financial cooperation with the Russian Federation. Why?

[Skobaristan]

And who told you that China is limiting cooperation? No, well, if you watch the videos of UNIAN, you can find out even more)

[alexoff]

Because the Chinese rich don't live in China either. The Americans are going to impose sanctions on a Chinese (or rather Hong Kong) bank, which itself is subject to an anti-Russian sanctions regime. Without any attack on Taiwan, just - bite it. And China will supposedly limit the export of something in response, and the West won't even notice the shortage of this something. Like what happened with rare earths

[Beringovsky]

Yes of course Poor Chinese, what will they do if they don't provide cheap goods to the Americans? When Americans stop wearing underwear and socks, the entire Chinese light industry will go under, I guess. After all, the consumer is the main one, right? If he doesn't eat, the only thing the manufacturer can do is hang himself from idleness. What a deep thought...
Your reasoning reminds me of the same profound thoughts of one of our Oscar-winning directors. He said that serfdom in the Russian Empire was a blessing for the peasants, because the master... provided them with work. What would they do without him?

[Essex62]

The conventional West is the main consumer of Chinese goods. The loss of this market will force "work for the warehouse", and in China there is capitalism. They will crumble in a crisis. No?

[Eugene Zaboy]

China and India, despite their economic interests, are taking into account US demands for sanctions against Russia. They will also take this order into account.

I risk being naive, but I don't see any radical steps by China against US protectionism. India, which is hostile to the Chinese, is demonstrating military-technological cooperation with the US in every possible way. Gandhi's times are a thing of the past. Indian and Chinese corporations do not have such interests with the Russian Federation that they would quarrel with the Hegemon over them.

[Eugene Zaboy]

India and China are big enough to ignore the daily, momentary statements of US leaders. They benefit from economic cooperation, they cooperate, knowing that the US will not go anywhere, no matter what they say. Trump is a hegemon in the US, but an annoying fly in India and China.

[Essex62]

The capacity of these markets will shrink instantly if exports to the hegemony and its satellites are cut off. Salaries are not fat anyway, they will go down. A third of the rich population will not be able to digest everything that a billion workers produce.

[Eugene Zaboy]

Quote: Essex62

The capacity of these markets will shrink instantly if exports to the hegemony and its satellites are cut off.

And what will the hegemony do then? Where will it get iPhones, computers, TVs, clothes, household appliances, etc. Most likely, they will quickly slide into the Stone Age. The US already tried to start a trade war in 1927 and this event ended with the Great Depression. They can repeat it squared, since they decided to compete with the entire BRICS at the same time. A trade war between the US and India and China at the same time is the end of the US.

[Essex62]

That's what he dreams about, that all this would be his own in the States. In reality, these are only threats, but Trump has the ability to twist the arms of "that side" without duties 100%, Pinpoint, individually. They will bend the elite. For now, BRICS is an intention. There is no front.

[andrey martov]

Truly, truly I tell you that BRICS will not create an alternative to the dollar, but BRICS will create a replacement for the dollar...

[digger]

Many are surprised, like, how such a peacemaker and dandelion changed his shoes....other Chukotkas....I initially said that Trump is worse than Biden and Harris...he is a crazy emotional psycho...who WILL UNLEASH THE 3RD WORLD WAR...not liberal Satanists...but specifically Trump.

[Beringovsky]

Oh well. They'll shoot him if anything goes wrong. They have a tradition of shooting presidents from time to time...

[Rt Rt]

Haha ...

[kvv]

Well, this is clear to us, those who live in this world, but those heavenly inhabitants in the Kremlin still do not understand anything, they now have only one desire to return everything to normal as quickly as possible and become their own again

[Essex62]

No, they haven't been hoping for that for a long time. People are experienced, they themselves know how to take down competitors from the run and they understand that "spiritual mentors have written them off" and want to replace them. Only it's troublesome, the second time, in a short period of time, it won't work to shake up our color forest. No one will succeed, after the first one they got their fill. And they will deal with the corrupt scum, whoever is supposed to. And there is no other way to change this government.
And no need now, let them agree on how to stop the war, on favorable terms. I would like to return the Russian land in its entirety, but not under these conditions. Russia will not be able to handle a war with NATO, without real allies, with a powerful economy. It will end in Armageddon.

The European Union (EU) is an economic and political association of 27 European states. The European Union was created by the Maastricht Treaty on 7 February 1992, which entered into force on 1 November 1993...

The European Economic Community (EEC), the Common Market, was an integrated economic association of Western European countries from 1958 to 1993. It was formed by members of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC; Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands) in accordance with the Treaty of Rome (signed on 25 March 1957), which entered into force on 1 January 1958.

[Sergey Prutkov55]

This is about whether it is necessary to meet the West halfway. It is not necessary. And Ukraine must be liberated at any cost, even with nuclear weapons, even by shooting off the top brass, even by knocking out all energy. Giving the West 4/5 of its territory and people is a geostrategic defeat for Russia. The West will not stop there. And Trump has nothing to do with it. He is not the master of the States. The West completely owns Norway, Finland, the Baltics, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria. Now they are pulling the outskirts, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia towards themselves. After Georgia and Armenia there will be Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. In Belarus, they are again planning to organize a Maidan in January. Right now, at this very time, they are breaking Syria. They are bossing around in Iraq and are trying to persuade Iran to support them after the assassination of the president. They have already shaken Mongolia. A picture in oil. The enemies of Russia in action. There is daily work to encircle Russia with unfriendly countries, to put it mildly. Problems in the Baltic, NATO in the Black Sea. The route to the south via Iran is in question. Boycott of the Northern Sea Route. And our only real friend is the DPRK. It's not fun. In these conditions, we can't make any agreements to give the Eurofascists a break. This will do absolutely nothing good for Russia. On the contrary, we need to knock out the vertical of power in the outskirts and put out their lights. Now only the capitulation of the Euro-Hutsuls will change the balance in our favor. The enemy needs to be finished off. They didn't finish it off in Syria and here's the result. And all this was organized by the same West. They want to distract attention from the outskirts and deprive Russia of bases in Syria and Armenia. And break through the passage to the Caspian. The outskirts need to be finished off at any cost. 50 days until Trump comes to the White House. During this time, the outgoing US administration will do some bad things.

[Essex62]

It is necessary. With what forces? Mobilization? The war cannot be won by eliminating Zelya and his entourage, there is ideology at work there, and there are too many of its carriers as targets. Territories must be occupied. Nuclear weapons are excluded in principle, this is our land and there are Russian people there.

[mr wolf]

I am ready to sign under every word you say. And regarding the DPRK - yes, they are covering our "back". There is not much hope for China - traders, like the Yankees... The only thing I think is that another betrayal will happen, they will not forgive us for it. And I would also include Iran among our allies. A military-political alliance with it is necessary. As with the DPRK. All the other BRIX members will be watching the results of the work in 404...

[svetlo series]

[sgr291158]

Well, here it goes. He was just elected and he's already starting to scare, and what will happen after the inauguration? Biden and Trump are the same, only the names are different. So we shouldn't be too happy, he'll also continue with Ukraine what this old senile man started.

[evgen1221]

Well, ok, he will introduce duties, then what? Today, stores have enough goods for a week-2-3 months, the times of huge warehouses at the store are gone, today logistics is built on fast delivery to the required date of the necessary items, their own reserves are minimal. They will gobble up and remain with nothing. And what will happen with oil, there will be a sharp shortage of gasoline in America. But those who produce will not lose anything, they will simply send the goods to another place, for example, Canada and Mexico or somewhere else. The Americans themselves will instantly deflate from such duties. However, this is in the style of Trump's business, an ultimatum bluff and a deal that is profitable for him. But in this case it is a bluff, and not a smart one at all. It is calculated to scare those accustomed to the dollar.

[Alexander Rasmukhambetov]

Whatever nonsense you talk, they'll have enough, if not they'll print more bucks and everyone will run to sell them for dollars, I haven't looked at how much a dollar is worth here.

[evgen1221]

You are talking nonsense, you submit to the decisions of the regional committee in advance. I have critically explained that this is a bluff and it will hurt them more if they introduce duties on 100% goods from BRICS. World logistics is built on the principle of just-in-time delivery (warehouse stocks max 2-3 months or even a week, saving on warehouse space). All consumer goods are BRICS, not all oil, but it will jump, and there are a lot of cars there. What can the US offer as a carrot to those who agree, except for the dollar? - continue to eat the inflation of the dollar at home, sell it for beads further, what else? Such a step by the US will instantly ruin, at least isolate the world economy into closed blocks a la the West CMEA, let's see how much the West consumes from the BRICS countries and how much the BRICS countries from the West, how many Western enterprises will instantly go bankrupt in the BRICS countries when they cannot supply goods to the States, their businesses will clearly not say thank you to such decisions. Yes, there will be small countries that are totally dependent on imports to the US, but who is stopping them from selling to BRICS if the conditions are better. And the BRICS's counteraction to such duties will be immediate and tough, because the US is essentially setting an ultimatum, and no one likes this except for the obedient fans of the US. The share of BRICS in real industry is much larger than the US, so it will survive, but the West is not a fact, then they can also raise prices for energy from BRICS with the same ultimatum, either at this price or go to hell, where will they get it from?

[Alexander Rasmukhambetov]

If the dollar falls to at least 50 rubles, then I will say you were right, we are all waiting for the West to rot and the USSR waited, did not wait long enough, and suddenly died. Until we start opening factories here, it will be like this, I will not be surprised if the dollar is 200 rubles if we continue to whine.

[evgen1221]

The Union refused the economic and other destruction of the West, preferring dialogue and peaceful coexistence in two different camps, butted heads on the periphery, but had no serious plans or implementation to strangle the West and did not use them. The States did not change tactics for a moment because of imperialistic motives, and after the collapse of the Union, they went completely crazy from the understanding that they can do everything with impunity on the planet. Which, in fact, led to today's realities; if they were not so obsessed with profit and thirst for power, they would have lasted three hundred years as a hegemon and everyone would have been only for it.

In fact, it seems to me that Trump is in a very difficult situation, things have gone very far in all directions, it will definitely not be possible to restore order without sudden movements.

The USA is a wolf country. Don't feed the wolf, don't sell or buy anything for dollars. And the wolf will die on its own. It is impossible to negotiate with a wolf, you can only kill it, or the wolf will eat you.

Trumpv should be sent to hell and that's all, let him introduce duties, let's see how US consumers will howl when they come to the stores, there will either be empty shelves or goods with double markup, one of two things

Quote: BABAY22

"Dollar" is needed by everyone. The whole world. Some common currency is needed

On one condition - that this currency will be neutral. And this is not realistic in today's world.
The single currency is becoming a condition and a reason for pressure from the owner, which is clearly visible today!
As well as a single or unified system of banking payments! If something goes wrong for the hegemon, he immediately begins to twist the arms and legs of not only others but also his own!

China holds more than a trillion dollars in US debt

I read that China is slowly and quietly starting to sell them off.

We need some kind of common currency that everyone can use for mutual settlements.

GOLD has always been such a world currency! And Stalin understood this well!
The retreat from Stalinism and the betrayal of socialism began with the coming to power of the "corn man" Khrushchev.

1) No, it started with the ignorance of VO commentators like Tatyana about history!
2) In 1923 (not by Stalin) a gold coin of "one chervonets" denomination was issued in the USSR, containing 7,74235 grams of gold. However, the circulation of the Soviet chervonets was small, and the exchange of paper money for it was severely limited.
3) In 1937, in the USSR (by Stalin), the ruble was calculated on the basis of the dollar. Up until 1950, the fixed rate was in effect - 5,3 rubles for 1 dollar.
4) Yes, he understood... by 1950... it dawned on him.... On February 28, 1950, by decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR (Stalin), the peg to the dollar was abolished, the ruble was transferred to a permanent equivalent basis, a gold basis, somewhere until 1961 (if I'm not mistaken).
5) N. Starikov: "As such, there was no trace of the gold ruble. There was a gold chervonets for settlements with foreign countries. It was not in circulation within the country. But due to the fact that Western countries refused to accept gold chervonets as payment for their goods, the circulation was melted down. However, not all the coins were melted down. The price on the numismatic market is from 20 thousand rubles. The coin depicted a peasant sowing grain. In the 70s, replicas of these coins were issued. The price is higher than the real ones issued in the 20s. The Soviet ruble was always equal to the country's gold reserves. This was abolished and reintroduced by Stalin in order not to be dependent on the American dollar. This secured the country's economy. If anyone remembers, but the ruble to dollar exchange rate was less than a ruble. It seems 64 kopecks. If my memory serves me right.
So Stalin did not remove the gold ruble from the economy. It did not exist. There was a gold chervonets nicknamed the Sower. That was it. But only for settlements with foreign countries.
It had no effect on the economy. And it was melted down into the usual ingots. And so they became the measure of calculation on the international market.
Subsequent rulers also did not return to the gold ruble. But the ruble rate was always equal to the gold (and then currency) reserves of the country."

The dollar is much more important for the US than Ukraine.

Ukraine is their dollar, you need to know the history, the value of Ukraine, the appetites of the capitalists

There is nothing to talk about until Trump takes office on January 20, if he lives that long. It is all just "white noise". All of Trump's reasoning is about business, not politics. These are different things. If he does not understand this, then that is his problem. He will not force anything on anyone. There will be no American-style peace. They have nothing to offer for a long time.

And war? And sabotage? And blackmail? How is it nothing? As long as they are alive, it will be even worse, more sophisticated! This is such a rotten nation, At least in England, at least its offspring on the American continent, where they destroyed the entire population, without exception. And no one has ever even called it genocide! As long as this criminal nation is alive, there will be no happiness on the planet Zkmlya!

That's how we need to start too!
- We demand!
Our people need to learn how to make demands.
- We demand that countries not join NATO!

And what then? That's the thing... We don't have any methods against Kostya Saprykin. But they do. This doesn't mean that nothing should be done, we just need methods, they need to be created. Created in Latin American countries. And not only in currently friendly ones, but also in those in the Pindostan orbit. Imagine, for example, a change of regime in Panama. Would that create a problem for the mattress makers?

Allow me to disagree. In my opinion, your allegory is wrong. Firstly, you don't feed a wolf. A wolf chooses its victim and feeds itself. But if you have tamed it, then you can negotiate with it. To do this, you first need to tame it (which is hardly possible). As for the SSP, it is not a wolf. It is a tick. And you can't negotiate with it either. It can only be removed from the body, and only completely, otherwise there will be complications. And destroy it.

I am over .70. In my life I have listened to many different leaders, both my own and Anglo-Saxon. That is why I believe in our proverb: history teaches nothing, that is why geographical shake-ups happen. Not a single Anglo-Saxon leader will ever be an ally of the USSR-RF. How many kisses were there with them, how much equipment was cut due to the reduction of armaments. And what? After that, it was necessary to increase armaments many times over. And imagine how much material values, labor it takes from the resources of planet Earth and everything goes to dust?! Communism would have been on Earth long ago! But such Trumps and all capitalists like him strive to establish slavery on the planet, oppression of people. Not by war, but now cybernetics will help to drive people into the human herd. Are you dancing to Trump? Capitalists? Well, well!!!

So they're pissing. There's no need to force it, but after 10 years of integration we can think about a common currency.

So, Volodya, you yourself have already stated that there are no plans to abandon the dollar.

We've been moving towards the Euro and the EU since 50. You want it here and now. No, you can of course convince yourself that BRICS is just "taking pictures". Then why did Trump say that? He's probably joking, right?)

I beg you. In 50, Soviet troops stood in the GDR, Austria, and for many more days. To what euro were they heading???
