That is why the Russia/China lead in de-dollarisation must suceed for the rest of the world to be freed of the US$ hegemony curse. Half a century of USA cannibalisation of the world's blood and sweat production of goods, in exchange for fiat money printed out of thin air, has to be stopped. The USA has been given a free ride by the rest of the world for half a century, enjoying all the good life by importing all the essential products on the back of their US$ hegemony free money printing. On top of that, the USA committed mistrust by misusing that privilege to weaponise the US$ to impose sanctions on other countries. That cannot be tolerated.
Just like Europe, enjoying decades of cheap Russian energy and is turning into a snake that is now biting the hand that had provided the means for Europe's rise. Europe committed a strategic and costly mistake. Now, cheap energy is going to be over and they can talk about capping Russian oil and gas among themselves and shooting their own feet. Europe had been grossly mislead by the USA and are paying the ultimate price.
UK is also suffering with temperatures in some regions just hitting minus -10 degrees celcius. This is just the beginning of the long freeze. On top of that there are strikes being called by nurses, ambulance drivers and rail workers. Rail strike is expected to be called just before and after Christmas, and all that is going to create unrest soon. With the flu season setting in and with COVID still infecting people, hospitals will be without qualified medical personnel to look after patients. All is going to be hell.
If the UK resorts to emergency rule like Canada, or follow the USA in rewriting the law against strikes, that is as dictatorial as what they have been accusing China of doing. What human rights are they talking about if even the freedom to strike is taken away? The people of the West better wake up as the Facist elites are tightening the ropes around their necks.
Anyway, the rise of the BRICS was an essential part of the plan to support the Russian/Chinese lead, and more countries are joining. Those countries joining or intending to join the BRICS are important players in the energy, food and countries rich in resources like Venezuela, Argentina and Saudi Arabia. Once Saudi Arabia takes the lead, other Middle Eastern oil producers will also be expected to follow.
