A military alliance against the Americans and Nato taking shape

 Despite the USA taking BRICS de-dollarisation move as a minor irritant on the surface, under the surface they are really paranoid, nervous and devoid of any other plans to counter the move except containment, which in essence means containing China, which is at the forefront and the epitome of the de-dollarisation move.

The success of de-dollarisation, slow and steady it may be, will mean the end of the US$ hegemony and thus its privilege of printing unlimited fiat money to support its military bases, warships, personnel and bribes for military leaders of other countries, like those in Africa. This is an existential issue for the USA, and it will fight tooth and nail to prevent the success of de-dollarisation. That is what is to be expected.

The Chips War and sanctions, to contain China, have gone nowhere, with China now having attained the expertise to do the 7nm high-end chips production capability, and most analyst are now commenting that the 5 nm threshold in chip development is close at hand for Huawei and SMIC.

The gap is still there, but the USA and Chips Alliance now do not realistically know how fast it is closing and are worried. The 7 nm threshold was actually expected to be only achievable by China taking at least another five years, but China achieved that in just three years.

So, everything regarding China always work at warp speed. No shit, knowing that China took just a litte more than three decades to reach where it is today, in areas like eradicating poverty, becoming the 'Factory of the World, built a space station, landed on the moon and sent a probe to Mars, most of those achievements have taken at least five decades to achieve for others.

The mastery of the 7 nm chips should provide the resources to help in upgrading its military sector, which was the motive of the USA in sanctioning high end chip sales to China. On the other hand, the shortage of rare earth is dealing an obvious damage, not just to Western chip manufacturers but more importantly to Western weapons manufacturers. The only recourse left for the USA is therefore starting a war with China over Taiwan, under the illusion that the USA still has a little advantage in terms of logistics and support, which they are frantically doing so by expanding their military footprints in more countries around China.

However, the coming together of China, Russia, Iran and now North Korea is putting the USA in a dilemma. This is a war that the USA is uncertain of victory, as China is dicreetly expanding its arsenal of hypersonic missiles and other weapons, beyond the knowledge of the USA and the West. Cutting off Western made communication equipment and spying apps like Windows, Google and others is a wise move.

North Korea is going to supply weapons to Russia, to take care of NATO if a direct war ensues against Russia in Europe. Any move against China in East Asia will see Russia taking up against Nato, and China therefore need not have to worry much about Nato helping the USA over Taiwan, with North Korea playing the gatekeeper over South Korea and Japan should they make a move against China as well.

Kim in Moscow and Putin going to Pyongyang and later to Beijing are clearly telling moves, to discuss their secret plans. That is really 'worrying' for the USA, Nato, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines.

Oh yes, North Korea supplying weapons to Russia is against UN Security Council resolutions. What does the UN Security Council have to say about other UN member countries supplying weapons to Ukraine? Looks like the UN is just following the USA 'Rules Based Order'? Must be.
