How much of the world's debt to they comprise? They are top producers of key commodities like oil, gas, grains, meat, and minerals. Those things will buy them all the money the west will have to pay them for those commodities.
You fail to realize they are weaning themselves from the grip of the US and its allies and are positioning themselves to turn the table on dependency.

The US GDP is overstated, partially because the US CPI is understated.
We are in worse shape than the government statistics indicate. Of course, for now, we will keep borrowing like there is no tomorrow, until some future day, we can't.

Of course not. The US statistics are half-truths.
Some of the other countries like Russia, reported news and data it is all propaganda, and truth is hard to find at all. As far as China, keeping 1.1 billion people happy requires significant discretion in what is published by the highly controlled government departments and media.

Derryb sounds like he understands the implications of any economic union, regardless of their politics. One can't write off the world influence of China or Russia just because of their politics. Consider BRICS a union of China, Russia and many other nations that have grown weary of US world domination and intimidation. And if you don't see that union as a threat to the US then you know nothing of economics, let alone world politics. An idiot once wrote "you have been warned."

You aren't making your point, coho. The last thing we needed was to drive Russia and China into an alliance.

For some reason, you and your ilk, see strength in China and Russia but not "inept and corruption". Or you think that's ok because the US is worse. Youre so focused on the shortcomings on the US without seeing those (much worse and much bigger) on the otherside. Talk about being stuck in the forest.

You are only half-correct. I don't see an alliance between China and Russia as a source of strength, but I do see our hand in driving them together as an extremely stupid and bad move on our part.
you think that's ok because the US is worse.
The US may not be 100% worse, but the US is on a course that mimics China's social engineering and social control mechanisms in several ways that aren't good - if you enjoy your way of life at all.
If the US doesn't revert back to some semblance of a moral society with a work ethic and the will to produce our own scholars, industrial base and put a stop to the diversity training & hiring nonsense - not to mention reconstituting a meritocracy, we are toast.

You know the same story is reported by Reuters and AP. Why did you choose to cite Russia Times?
Because experience has taught me not to trust Reuters or the AP. I no longer trust "main stream" media that we all now now is and has been under US political influence. Time has shown that outside outlets provide more accurate reporting when it comes to the lies (and DC press releases) being spewed by the MSM. Because "Russia" appears in its title you automatically assume the words are coming from Putin. I read and have learned to believe international news sites more so than CNBC, Washington Post, Fox, CNN or the White House press secretary.
But, to the report....more poor folk...GDP per capita is 1/20 of that is USA. What is the goal of grouping all these poor folk?
With current debt levels that no longer matter to those creating the debt is the GDP even a reliable/realistic measuring stick? Especially when one considers the credibility of those providing the numbers? Economic data is no longer independent; it is issued and approved by those with political motives.
So, feel free to keep your head in the sand, Washington and its media puppets will take care of you.

The news is always slanted these days. It is best to get information from multiple sources and sift through it to try and see the light.
Your claims that people here are "cheering on Putin" and have "fantasy hopes of BRICS" is just more of the worst propaganda.
Your dismissive stance and trivialization of BRICS is not going to make BRICS go away.
Will BRICS ever be successful at what they are attempting to do ? Maybe, maybe not. But they are going to try, and it would be wise to take that into consideration.

Or, will the "QUAD PLUS" (US, Japan, Australia, India, Brazil, Israel, New Zealand, South Korea, Vietnam) become a global force?

The FED can't change one's work ethic, desire for education or preference for made in China junk. These are personal decisions. We are weak.

They work hand-in-hand, and the only beneficiaries are the ones who get first dibs on the money creation. - consisting of Wall Street and the banking cabal. There is no Fed mentioned in the Constitution. End the Fed.
I knew it would happen.
So ending the Fed would improve wortk ethic, foster a desire for educational and encourage folk to stop buying China junk?
New Year, same funnies.
Now back to reality...

The Federal Reserve is the greatest ?
You don't even believe that.
Are they better than the Marines ?
I know, let there be a battle between the Federal Reserve and the Marines (or the Army/Navy/Air-Force) and we will see which is "the greatest"
.
.
The Federal Reserve hates monopolies, except their own.
They absolutely foster and enable an environment where the focus is on finance and debt servitude, not self-sufficiency.

I'm wondering if bliz even knows who financed the Bolshevik Revolution.
I knew it would happen.

World’s fourth most populous country joins BRICS

You know the same story is reported by Reuters and AP. Why did you choose to cite Russia Times?
But, to the report....more poor folk...GDP per capita is 1/20 of that is USA. What is the goal of grouping all these poor folk?
Knowledge is the enemy of fear
Because experience has taught me not to trust Reuters or the AP. I no longer trust "main stream" media that we all now now is and has been under US political influence. Time has shown that outside outlets provide more accurate reporting when it comes to the lies (and DC press releases) being spewed by the MSM. Because "Russia" appears in its title you automatically assume the words are coming from Putin. I read and have learned to believe international news sites more so than CNBC, Washington Post, Fox, CNN or the White House press secretary.
With current debt levels that no longer matter to those creating the debt is the GDP even a reliable/realistic measuring stick? Especially when one considers the credibility of those providing the numbers? Economic data is no longer independent; it is issued and approved by those with political motives.
So, feel free to keep your head in the sand, Washington and its media puppets will take care of you.

Exit the bunker my brother, there is not a need for ANYONE to take care of us. We be BOOMIN! RGDS!!

You think that Reuters and the AP are politically biased, but any and I mean any news outlet in Russia isn't? I will fully admit that most news today is biased from one side or the other (and I hate it), but at least we have freedom of the press. Something that doesn't exist in your Mother Russia. All news in Russia is controlled by the state. If they report something Putin doesn't like they have an "accident." Put the pipe down and come back to reality.

Yup how on earth did we get here? Way back in the day I had a nutty electronics professor that tried to warn us of all the russian propaganda subliminally being fed to us thru our radios and TV screens. We all thought he was a tool back then but now here I sit several decades later watching the doomsday cult cheering on putin and their fantasy hopes of brics. CRZY WRLD!

The news is always slanted these days. It is best to get information from multiple sources and sift through it to try and see the light.
Your claims that people here are "cheering on Putin" and have "fantasy hopes of BRICS" is just more of the worst propaganda.
Your dismissive stance and trivialization of BRICS is not going to make BRICS go away.
Will BRICS ever be successful at what they are attempting to do ? Maybe, maybe not. But they are going to try, and it would be wise to take that into consideration.

coho apparently disagrees.
Repetition of ignorance is ignorance raised to the power two.
Freedom of the press belongs to those that own one.

Did you just crawl out from under a rock? Have you ever watched those collections of videos that show a collage of 15 or 20 news anchors all reading from the same script, using the exact same words and phrases? Who do YOU think is writing the script? The news media is consolidated under just a few owners, all of which have an agenda.
You think that Reuters and the AP are politically biased, but any and I mean any news outlet in Russia isn't?
Nobody here is holding Russia out as a shining example of freedom and honesty, but demonizing the other side doesn't make us any better somehow. How long have you been captured by the "Russiagate" narrative and don't even realize it? Wake up.
I knew it would happen.
Yes, we all know you are a big fan of the RT as you have linked to them numerous times.over the years.
I sincerely hope you understand how hypocritical you appear when you say you don't trust US reporting.
RT and AP write the same story. You don't trust the AP story, but you do the RT story. Hmmm..

Does that mean that AP and RT are part of the same media complex?
