His threat was directed at countries in the so-called BRIC alliance, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

    I’m sure this will help drive BRICS closer together as they feel attacked by America. Allowing Russia to poach powerful allies away from the US.

    Trump must be Putins greatest dream.

      Yeah, Trump ending the dollar as the reserve currency would be a fitting legacy.

          Yes of course. What do you think Trump wants? He wants people kissing ass, he wants groveling, he wants adoration.

          Everything else that he does is clearly designed to get that, and if it has side effects, he just doesn’t care, because he’s too powerful to care.
