It isn’t just China and Russia moving against Dollar hegemony, it’s now ALL of BRICS. Trump has ignited a firestorm against the US dollar as his economic war has backfired on all fronts from India to Brazil and beyond. Once just a grandiose idea, the BRICS countries are now seriously discussing experimenting with alternatives to the U.S. dollar alongside bilateral trade in national currencies. Tune in Ben Norton of Geopolitical Economy Report gives a wide ranging update on the multipolar world.

Watch the stream here:

As Trump and Putin gear up for talks in Alaska, the truth about where the conflict in Ukraine is headed is becoming crystal clear and it spells danger for the U.S.-NATO-EU proxy war.

China 🇨🇳 is “too big to bully.”

More like too powerful.

I want to share my opinion on something: those who see Russia as more powerful than China are mistaken.

China’s economy is stronger and more robust. Its military is comparable if not stronger due to superior all around economic and technical strength. Its political model is far more disciplined, and far more trusted. We could argue Russia would be totally effed without China as would the rest of the multipolar world.

Truth is the U.S. is never going to get to a “Ukraine” like proxy war with China.

It will either have to jump to the worst case losing scenario (full war) or nuclear war, also a disaster.

This isn’t to diminish Russia. Russia has defeated NATO and sanctions. It is a global power. It has risen from unspeakable odds post Soviet collapse. Russia and China are now unbreakable friends and allies.

But let’s be honest: China would never pander to Donald Trump like Russia is doing now, despite Russia being in the drivers seat in Ukraine.

Just my two cents.

Fantastic summary of the truth about Belt and Road Initiative:

We Chinese aren't philanthropists — we have our own goals, but we believe there's a win-win way forward.

A lot of people think the 🇨🇳Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is just about building railways, ports, and roads, but there's another angle:
It's creating a new class of consumers in BRI countries who are basically tied into China's manufacturing network.

The loans China gives out don't just pay for big projects—they also pump huge amounts of Chinese RMB into these countries.

That RMB then makes it possible for people and businesses to actually buy Chinese-made products directly.
Why does that matter?

Because in a lot of these countries, the local currency is unstable.
That scares away investors and makes big trade deals risky.
Before BRI, if you wanted to import goods, you'd usually have to go through the US dollar. That means paying bad exchange rates and giving the US the power to influence deals it's not even involved in.

By letting trade happen in RMB instead, China removes the dollar from the middle of the transaction.
Now these countries can buy goods, access global markets, and pay for services without the US holding the keys.

On top of that, the massive BRI projects fix one of the biggest problems these countries face: poor access and infrastructure. It's not much use being able to buy goods if you can't get them into the country in the first place.

OF COURSE it’s a soft power grab, OF COURSE there's geopolitical value in it, and OF COURSE certain countries will fall through the gap and have massive failures; this is just how economics work.

We're talking about mobilizing of countries, entire populations, and continents to modernize, become productive and enter the international community.
