All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world
And so there was only one thing I could do

DrJones writes: Phat you slack jawed yokel, the "loose alliance" IS NATO! NATO has actually expanded with the addition of Finland and soon Sweden. The main reason that nations traditionally joined NATO was to assure protection. The United States was able to be the primary member who funded much of everything. The point is, the United States, increasingly weakening financially, cannot be the prime mover any longer. Look up how many nations are left committed to the G7.

Phat writes: The point is, the United States, increasingly weakening financially, cannot be the prime mover any longer. Can you list the signs that the U.S. is increasingly weakening financially compared to the rest of the world or the other NATO countries? Unemployment? Inflation? GDP? Trade? Military spending?
Phat writes: Look up how many nations are left committed to the G7. worldpopulationreview:
G7 is a term that is used to describe the "Group of Seven", a coalition of seven countries that have the largest and most advanced economies in the world: the United States, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Canada, along with the European Union. The G7 members represent over 46% of the gross domestic product globally based on nominal values. These countries represent over 32% of the GDP based on purchasing power parity. In 2018, the countries in this group comprised more than 60% of the global net wealth for a total of $317 trillion.

Re: US dollar vs BRICS currency
Look up how many nations are left committed to the G7. You mean the G8 minus Russia? That's understandable, don't you think? Other than that, all of rest are active participants. What's left, then, is all of them.

Re: US dollar vs BRICS currency

Re: US dollar vs BRICS currency
Russia was a member, dubbed the G8, until their 2014 invasion of Crimea.

Re: US dollar vs BRICS currency
Yeah, I know, but they didn't really qualify, based on their ranking.

Re: US dollar vs BRICS currency
That was an olive branch to the newly engaged democratic Russia after the collapse of the USSR. A lot of good it did. Russia has been free and democratic 3 or 4 times in its last 600 year history. I think maybe 10 days in total. More or less. The russians just can't seem to avoid tyranny. They seem to seek it out and revel in it. Regardless, they are not a G-anything anymore. And it has nothing to do with waning american power.

the russia invasion of ukraine has forced most of NATO to wake up ad start spending more on defence.
Look up how many nations are left committed to the G7.
All 7 of them are. Seriously Phat do you even know what the G7 is?

Russia a string of G's
They were there solely on the strength of their military. What a joke. They will barely be G75 now.

I just threw up a little in my mouth. Thanks. But an excuse for another glass of Irish whiskey
