A new world order? BRICS nations offer alternative to West – DW – 04/10/2023

Predictions about the BRICS countries as the fastest growing economies haven't quite panned out. Instead, the alliance is now offering a diplomatic forum and development financing, outside of the Western mainstream.

Interesting article. With a rogue Russia under the brutal dictator Putin with a now destroyed economy, China an up and coming rogue Communist country with World domination under Xi as it's ultimate goal leading the way, what could go wrong? Then of course a politically unstable Brazil, an almost economically broke South Africa joining the party, sounds like a recipe for success. LOL Might as well invite Iran, North Korea and Venezuela to join.

A family member recently graduated from Harvard Law School. Apx. 550 in the class. The number that are conservative is probably less than 50. Perhaps less than 20 because they won't admit it publicly. The number that is outspoken conservative and will put up with the ridicule is around 5-10 students. Goldsmith is the only conservative professor left in the law school.

Other top law schools are the same.

The sad thing is these are the future leaders of America.

Leaders of what????
Isaiah 3:6NIV
6 A man will seize one of his brothers in his father's house, and say, "You have a cloak, you be our leader; take charge of this heap of ruins!"

665 days until the president elected (hopefully the one that most people voted once for) will be inaugurated and the Bidet and possibly the interim replacement will become history. I wonder if the country will be recognizable.

I'm wondering if we are going to see chicom troops and equipment entering this war like they did in Korea. Seems to be a lot of unanswered questions about Russia and China joining up.

Yeah but the middle east countries have the loot...and countries here are looking at not having to use usd in international payments. Tanzania and India have just struck a deal to use each others currencies in payments...apparently around equivalent of usd 6 billion in trade this year....not massive, but that's way over double from previous year....and as the odd country here starts getting their acts together, which slowly will happen and forsake the usd....bit of a slippery slope...I know zero about this stuff....but from rumblings around the developing world , and even the middle east oil and gas producers looking at or already accepting other currencies for payment it doesn't take a crystal ball to see things possibly going to change in how payments are made...the weaponising of the usd in sanctions etc has not gone unnoticed by these countries....

Τhe Prime Minister of Estonia asked Russians to take anti-Russian sanctions more seriously.

“Russians allow themselves to joke on the Internet about each new package of sanctions, they openly mock our work. I beg them to take this seriously and show at least some respect

The swamp doesn't like being drained. Israel has a minority run bureaucratic elite within the government. This includes the legal profession from the prosecutors office all the way through the Supreme Court. Netanyahu backed a rabid dog into a corner. This move may be a few years premature to work.

Makes a person wonder if the pushback is another State Department, color revolution in the middle east. DOS and Biden certainly don't care for Netanyahu.
