Your story doesn't add up.
For someone who openly hates silver as much as you do, you always seem to claim that you are sitting on a "pile" of it when the price goes up. Yea, right.
And graded Morgan silver dollars do not really classify as "bullion" - they are collector's items. Same for the items that I manufacture.

Neither move seems to be the result of a preference of US Dollars over gold.
In the case of Russia, it is apparently a loophole to bypass the embargo.
For India, it is an effort to weaken the Rupee against the US Dollar.

Argentina is now leaving the bloc; AEP wrote about their lithium plans and they want to be closer to the U.S. and not China.
China is headed for a demographic implosion. The days of easy credit are over and so are the Chinese freebies. If China moves on Taiwan, they're finished in the global financial markets. Nobody is trusting Putin or Xi. Russia is bogged down and broke. Russia has to hope that their people like to eat natural gas, because they won't be able to sell theirs. It'll be a stranded, wasted asset all because Putin is a greedy thug. South Africa has contentions elections; the rand is sinking even with higher gold prices. Brazil has double-digit inflation.
The BRICS’ big organizational meeting is in October, and we haven’t heard the end of it.
Our recent foreign policy blunders and woke BS have pretty much guaranteed that the BRICS are deeply motivated to get away from SWIFTS and the dollar for the next 2 or 3 generations, maybe longer.
Some additional 30 countries have applied to BRICS, so how much impact will the loss of Argentina have, when their own currency goes defunct every decade or so?

Nobody has "applied" to BRICs, it is an acronym with no dues or membership. It's not even the equal of the G-20.

I'm not so sure that there's no membership status - I believe that you are "uninformed" and it's a moot point anyway.
Do G-20 members pay dues? What's your point - BRICS isn't imaginary and it - along with the Belt Road Initiative and the Shanghai Cooperation Agreement - all of this is going to have a deleterious effect on the dollar - unless Congress & the US Treasury manage to completely destroy the dollar first. It's definitely a race to the bottom.

gold, in some form, will replace the dollar as the world reserve currency. Lot's of oil and other commodities already being traded for gold on the world stage.

Open Market Operations are not "bailouts" -- it's what a central bank does.
printing money and injecting it into the banking system to stimulate lending is a bank bailout. QE is a hidden central bank subsidy for the banks. As we have learned, QE and the FED's zero interest rate policy resulted in money supply inflation, asset and consumer goods price inflation, and dollar devaluation.
When the cost of open market operations includes destruction of the currency then it's time for the central bank to shutter its doors or to find more competent management.
