You think bric currency will work? When India bought oil from Russia In Oct 23 Russia demanded Chinese yuan. India offered dollars or rupees. Rupees were accepted. Russia still cannot get rid of them.

What is South African money worth? Brics better be paying in gold! What is a brazil real worth? Does any country accepts them as payment? or does Brazil have to buy dollars? BRIC currencies one would not touch with a 10 foot pole. Brazil, India, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia will anybody touch their currencies? Another Joe Biden moment. google.com google.com google.com

Re <<The US is much like the USSR of 1990s.>> ... am told, and did you know that the USSR demography was ~70% slavic when it fell apart? en.wikipedia.org ... but if one took away the Ukraine Slavics and other lesser same groupings, as later happenings justify, the Russian slavs in USSR dropped to ~51% en.wikipedia.org In other words it might have been the case that USSR would have split up without Reagan's fictitious Star Wars program, especially because we do and now know the Russian economy is deceptively small, and quite large. Re <<I tell my friends the US will be unrecognizable in five years.>> ... your time guesstimate might turn out to be spot on. Recommend the master class ... Re <<They have no idea what is coming.>> ... I haven't a clue w/r to the US domestic scene. Hollywood letting imagination run wild ... below some suggestions, for the international scene, and I suspect why Nato is unenthusiastic for China to take side in the Ukraine episode. I doubt China shall take too much side because bad for business, savings, learning, construction, learning, and getting more prosperous. Of course the POTUS and whomever incoming POTUS can always press China to take side.

re <<The US is much like the USSR of 1990s>> detailing of approach seems different, just a little? At least more modern? zerohedge.com Ammo Vending Machines Arrive At Grocery Stores In Red States Nothing says 'Merica like supermarkets with automated vending machines stocked with ammunition. A select number of supermarkets across Alabama and Oklahoma have these new machines. This means you can leave the store with milk, eggs, and boxes of 9mm and .223 rounds. American Rounds installed AI-powered ammunition vending machines in several Alabama and Oklahoma supermarket stores. These vending machines are said to feature built-in AI technology, card scanning capability, and facial recognition software to verify that buyers are 21 or older and match the identity on the license. "Our automated ammo dispensers are accessible 24/7, ensuring that you can buy ammunition on your own schedule, free from the constraints of store hours and long lines," American Rounds notes on its website. American Rounds shows six supermarkets, including two Fresh Value stores in Alabama and four Super C Mart stores in Oklahoma, have these new retail automated ammo dispensers. [url=][/url] In an interview with Newsweek, Grants Magers, CEO of American Rounds, said that the company's AI-powered ammunition vending machines have recently been expanded to eight across four states. "We have over 200 store requests for AARM [Automated Ammo Retail Machine] units covering approximately nine states currently and that number is growing daily," Magers said. He continued by suggesting these vending machines support "law-abiding, responsible gun ownership, adding, "Currently ammunition is sold off the shelf or online. These environments lead to inadvertent sales to underaged purchasers and or, in the case of retail stores, a high theft rate." Magers told local media outlet Oklahoma KOCO-TV that machines will have no ammo restrictions and are restocked weekly.
