Less than it was twenty years ago, for sure. These euros used to have a backbone once upon a time. Today they have all been reduced to American vassals. I don’t understand how this happened.
Now they do as they are told!!
This happened more to America’s adversaries than America.
Wishful thinking
Unfortunately only for the people of those countries concerned. Nobody else. Ukraine had a wider impact. Otherwise these conflicts have been pretty well contained. For instance they have not spilled over into neighbouring countries.
The classic threat game.
I would wish Jaishankar running behind him for an equal tit-for-tat, but even he knows that Donald is pretty useless, being a loose canon.
I’m sure brics not going to use their own currency in international trade but within BRICS NATION TRADE :banghead:
it’s not easy to replace Dollar so Sir, please have calm & patience, do not beat empty gunny bag thinking there is King Cobra inside
If he had common sense he wouldn’t have threatened BRICS nations, it only reinforces the idea of the countries in the east that de-dollarization and multi-polar world is important.
Like I said earlier this wanna be tough guy will only accelerate fall of US hegemony.
Their solution is to bring war and anarchy to the world so that they floats on the top always. That is what he is actually threatening others with, tariffs are just like affordable burden but anarchy and war is not.
You’re not wrong.
But chaos doesn’t guarantee dominance, it guarantees distrust.
If the U.S. leans on fear and anarchy, it will only push BRICS (and others) to unite faster.
I don’t think US can take down combined BRICS militarily, they will definitely try to push chaos and uprising in each country separately and support the pro-west parties in those countries.
Fall of empires is a slow and volatile process but it’s inevitable!
Thanks to Trump, several European countries have realized that the US is a bad faith actor and should reduce their dependence on it.
More war & anarchy happened in the previous term. There would be no Ukraine or Gaza war had he won a second term. Inflation in the west would have been better controlled too as a result. There would be no de$talk talk.
The identity crisis among brics will never allow a combined brics military.
Could see this fomenting in Bangladesh (much is happening there without enough knowledge in outside world), there was an attempt earlier which slipped off after dtrump’s unexpected win, but for USA everything is an opportunity forever.
This is fully agreeable.
Right, even before dtrump, 'murrica sent abundant, more than enough signals to the entire world when they confiscated Russian assets, don’t think sane headed leader of any independent country will overlook that reality.
Even India started bringing back country’s gold deposits from UK in massive quantities, which is quite expected.
The deepstate establishment in that country didn’t allow him to sit peacefully on that thorny chair then (from Covid19 to multidimensional level of court cases), will not allow him to sit peacefully now too (just started and he already have ongoing court cases, a suspicious flight crash to deal with, mostly more to come).
Trump’s people don’t like regime change wars. We’ll have to see if any exceptions exist here.
It’s interesting that Bangladesh is making the most noise presently. Almost acting like a Chinese/Pak proxy. Can’t be in Bangla interest to behave like this so is Beijing pulling the strings here?
