    How to Stop the BRICS Nations from Abandoning the Dollar

    "These nations have been driven to this extreme, time-consuming, and difficult project by clueless US leaders who have imposed sanctions on Russian assets (literally stealing them) and have denied Russia and other nations from using the SWIFT messaging system for trade settlement."

    Sounds like a cry baby Russian apologist and sympathizer.

    and how do you think you sound when you belittle others when the don't agree with you. Accept it, there will always be others that disagree with you and from what you have shown thus far, they are most likely to be correct. At least you can now drink cool aid of a better flavor.

    I hope you listen to your own words.

    Disagreement is awesome. The dissemination of misinformation is not. And i certainly hope you understand.

    2 words I believe. As per The Cleveland Clinic: Delusional disorder is a type of mental health condition in which a person can't tell what's real from what's imagined. There are many types, including persecutory, jealous and grandiose types. It's treatable with psychotherapy and medication. RGDS!

    Consider the possibility that BRICS countries may not be seeking to destroy the U.S. dollar but they are simply looking for a hedge against it.

    They are a threat to the petrodollar, something that will have serious repercussions for the future of the dollar. If you can't see this you have your eyes closed.

    Well, it's your discussion, so you can say they they ain't out to destroy and are out to destroy in a span of less than 24 hours.. That's either hypocritical, confused or just gibberish. Maybe all?

    What did gold "tell" us when it dropped from 1900 to 1000 a decade ago?

    It got ahead of itself...it thought the EU would fall apart and national currencies would be floating/sinking. Also fears those CB's and countries would sell gold on the open market.

    Fears of all that gold mining CAPX increasing supplies...I remember predictions for 4,000 tons per year and even 5,000 by 2020. We're still in the mid-3's !!! :D

    So gold "thinks" or "says" just as those who trade it. It does not think or say for itself. Glad we are getting this anthropomorphism nonsense out of the way as it has no place in reason or logic.

    Why are they issuing bonds denominated in dollars? Why not their own currency, or reals, roubles or yuan?

    The MARKET is saying that. And that's a metaphor because obviousley a "market" doesn't talk.

    Because if they intend to pay the interest and principal back, they save alot of money by issuing the bonds in dollars. That's why the dollar bond market is $7 trillion. We are the global reserve currency.

    Sometimes you can't borrow in your local currency. Nobody wants 50 trillion quintillion Zimbabwe dollars !!! :D
