The world would be a better and safer place without vladmir putin, he is a tyrant and an authoritarian fascist
So we're just pushing more and more countries to get off the dollar... you know like Saudi Arabia getting off the petrodollar.
Also, if Russia/Putin is really backed into a corner, you don't think he'll consider using nukes?

Dumbass is referring to purchasing power parity. Basically the cost of goods in a country. For instance the average Chinese person makes 50K less than your average American but the cost of goods in America is also many times more expensive.
It’s an important measure when you are comparing domestic prices but a useless measure when comparing the size of economies. No economist in their right mind would believe the Russia economy is larger than the Japanese economy.
Never mind that they are at war and the state is artificially driving down prices and injecting money into the economy through military production. Think Germany at the start of World War Two and how gradually they ruined themselves. Or more apt the Soviet Union trying to out compete the US in the Cold War and eventually collapsing.The absolute dirth of poverty and abject filth your average Russia man lives in would recoil the Japanese in horror in a normal year, the destitution Putin is consigning the country is going to be historic.

I hope BRICS works out. The U.S hegemony across the world needs to end.

It's been on the BRICS agenda at their meetings. Go and look it up.

It has been very dangerous to be an African under American hegemony.
The Americans are chiefly concerned with the continued flow of raw materials to global markets. Obviously, post colonial socialist leaders like my namesake threatened the neocolonial status quo, so they removed him and dozens of other African leaders.
They do not wish us well. They want us to be hewers of wood and drawers of water. Thankfully, no condition is permanent.

Imagine waking up in the morning in America and having to withdraw British pounds from your bank so you don’t lose your entire life savings.

Every year the global GDP share of G7 shrinks. Every year the global GDP share of BRICS grows.
If we measure by PPP, BRICS is larger than G7.
You are chearleading a declining empire. You're delusional like the British at the turn of the 20th century.

Lol doing "g7 vs brics" is a clever trick but doesn't reflect on the USA (which reigns supreme in both GDP PPP and nominal GDP) plus has partner nations in "BRICS" namely India.
