Through its regulatory body, the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), the EAEU has just extended a very serious proposal to the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) which, crucially, are already on the way to turning into BRICS+: a sort of G20 of the Global South.
The system will include a single payment card – in direct competition with Visa and Mastercard – merging the already existing Russian MIR, China’s UnionPay, India’s RuPay, Brazil’s Elo, and others.

A new regulatory body for the proposed joint EEU-BRICS financial system will soon be established.
Meanwhile, trade and economic cooperation between the EAEU and BRICS have increased 1.5 times in the first half of 2022 alone.
The BRICS share in the total external trade turnover of the EAEU has reached...

When the dollar is no longer the reserve currency, IOW no needs to buy our worthless T-Bills, the party will really get going. We'll look back at 8.3% inflation(which is bullshit anyways) with nostalgia.
ReplyDeleteRight after Democrat/BidenPelosiSchumer rule, this is the single biggest threat to our way of life, and 90% of the people are completely unaware and will be totally surprised when the switch is thrown.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Democrats with their overspending and with their overreaching liberal campaigns will be a large cause of this. Other countries hate Democrats.
We'll be broke our economy in ruins, but, at least no mean tweets.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a means of cashing into that system, I would. Simply a matter of economic survival. Of course, that could be quite dangerous, living in America. Which... might require a move to get that gig going.
