Please tell me that Ireland is eligible to join BRICS, I just want one English-speaking country that doesn't have their heads up their own asses.
By all means, let the burgerlanders run their own country in the ground. Just makes leftist's jobs easier.
S is for South Africa, which is a largely English-speaking country. Although we've still got quite a bit of headassery going on. India also has English as an official language. But we could use more Europeans -- come join us!

Trump: if you undermine the dollar, i will finish the job.
Real art of the deal shit right here 
The Hermit Kingdom officially know as "The United States of America" further entrenches itself in isolation. Their supreme leader, a failed real estate "tycoon" attempts to lash out at global cooperation by increasing the cost of import goods, despite having no domestic production of their own.
I bet you he doesn't know that tariffs can go over 100%.
If he knew he'd be saying "thousand" so he can emphasize the "th" and do his stupid hand motions
Someone float that idea to him quick

He probably thinks 100% means nothing gets in
He already did a Pizza Hut ad, he really wants to be American Gorbachev

Trump really is going to be the Nero of the American Empire.
All the more reason to keep undermining the dollar.
The sooner it crashes, the sooner the world stops being constantly on fire.
Serious question - How serious do you think Trump is about all these batshit tariffs on Canada, Mexico, BRICs, etc?
In other words - if you use a 1 to 10 scale then ~2 is Trump doing minor tariffs while he lies that it "punishes" the bad countries. 10 is Trump seriously damaging the US economy in record time.
It seems like he's already going back on them with Mexico and Canada. I think he's using this to make a fake crisis and then he can have a meeting with global leaders and tell his followers that he fixed everything.

idk because he talks so much shit and is so full of shit it's hard to tell what he'll actually do, outside of tax cuts for the rich, that's an automatic.
He barely tried to do 1/4 of the shit he said he was gonna do his first term.
That he even knows about this dedollarisation narrative is concerning to me. I wouldn't dismiss it so easily and all that needs to happen is someone even slightly smarter next to him suggests sanctions instead of "tariffs" and shit starts getting quite serious imo.
Russia showed that being sanctioned by amerika is ultimately a good thing in the long term. Its not like China isn't just waiting with open arms to trade with all these countries.
In my opinion, if the biggest risk is the USA sanctioning a bunch of countries, then that's a great situation for the world. Both tarrifs and sanctions would sink the US economy even further while creating the conditions for accelerated global cooperation. If these are the two choices, the empire is finished.
The tariffs will happen, but if you donated to him, or are a subsidiary of a donor, your goods will be exempt. The highest tariffs are going to be on electric cars, for obvious reasons. So it'll fuck up things, the losers are consumers and corps that didn't pay him or enough, and the winners are Musk and similar
Canadian politicians are already threatening tarriffs directly on Tesla. My best guess right now is that very little of this stuff is actually going to happen.

Based and multipolarity pilled
...were the accelerationists correct? Was the Beijing evangelical dad correct??
Tremendous outcome
The accelerationists are always correct except for the fact that advocating for worse conditions is abhorrent and disconnects you from the people whose conditions you just helped make worse instead of better. They will always be correct but it will always be a strategy that should not be undertaken because it will only harm the movement.

ok comrades, this is our moment. people's lives are about to become massively inconvenient and/or they're about to be in peril, and this is the time where it's down to us or the out and out fascists. Lay the groundwork now, start saying shit like "our economy should be organized around getting working people the results of their labor." currently-comfortable people are going to start thinking about how the world works and it's our job to make sure they want to kill their bosses, not their less privileged neighbors.
Trump is the biggest fucking idiot dog, he legit has no understanding of the most elementary economic concepts
It wouldn’t be frustrating if millions of people didn’t believe that he wasn’t a billionaire genius 4d chess master
This guy is gonna commit economic suicide out of spite lmao
Trump: "If I see you peeling the bandage off slowly, I'm gonna rip it off real fast!"

As long as BRICs nations take this threat seriously, this is great. It is a great incentive to develop a completely separate payment system.
[edit] And no need to have a BRICS currency! Just clear all payments in 50% of each side's own currency.
do it loser
He’s just gonna issue his own currency next right?
Why do you think they sell those trump limited collectable coins 😎 once he makes those the official currency of Burgerland I'll be RICH!
Needs to be pegged to my Iraqi dinars.
But also

the famous actor we once knew is looking paranoid and now spiraling
Crazy. Scary. Spooky. Hilarious. 
Do it, coward!
This will probably do the exact opposite of what he wants it to do. So do it, coward.
His brain is still actively in decline and by the time he takes office it's gonna be worse
Come on, do it asshole. I'm waiting.
Lol. Lmao even
Lmao peaceful dove Donald Trump
Trump laying down the law and threatening devastating tariffs:
The green paper covered in slavers (ie. USD) has always been imposed through extreme violence.
