BRICS Slam US Stablecoins, Seek To Combine Money

"“The BRICS alliance is anti-American,” U.S. President Donald Trump previously said, while threatening tariffs on countries aligned with the bloc."

It's not difficult to see why Trump would describe BRICS as anti-American. But in truth
it is an organisation created to support independence and growth in large countries which
have hitherto been locked into using the USD, which has often been used by the US against
them via SWIFT. Russia and Iran are examples where both are seriously affected by this.

Something tells me that the BRICS creation and implementation of its own trading currency
- later for use on their streets - will happen, but probably not without snags along the way.

Western countries need to face this reality and find ways to accomodate and compete.

Trump threatens France with a 200% tariff on French wines and Champagne; European equity futures are lower - Newsquawk European Opening News

Not really. Americans can easily buy other wines which are as good or maybe better.

Trump threatens France with a 200% tariff on French wines and Champagne; European equity futures are lower - Newsquawk European Opening News

"US President Trump threatened to impose 200% tariffs on French wines and Champagne following France's intention to decline the invitation to join his 'Board of Peace'."

The good news is that the glory surrounding French wines was blown away long ago. Wines
from many other countries are just as good. Making wine is not a huge skilled secret.

Frenchy Macroni was always a dumbcluck with limited common sense. But to make matters
far worse he created a close comradeship with the UK's Comrade Schtärmer, who manages
to contradict himself and talk out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.
We spot the tell-tales of this close friendship whenever they meet. They indulge in long-lasting
hugs and holding of hands. Then of course they invariably support and vote for the same
crackpot policies, like for Ukraine.

I'd support Trump on this one.

Mr. Trump Goes To Davos...

I think he'd find that a tad more difficult.

Mr. Trump Goes To Davos...

"Mr. Trump is going to terminate its influence and send a message that the era of globalist shenanigans is over..."

Brilliant. Things are looking up.
If Trumpy manages to finally kill-off the oligarch madness of globalisation and lunacy
of climate change and NetZero, then IMO he ought to be rewarded for saving the world.

    Award him with GREENLAND. Yeeeaaahh

All that'll be left is to trash the UN and its WHO and IPCC unelected agencies.

130mph in a 5 litre V8 must be close to V1 Rotate speed.

Greenland Is Very Nice...

ha ha. Methinks you are right.

He's off to Davos Wednesday, so I'm expecting him to rub the WEF (Woke Economic Forum) into a heap of sh1t too.

German politicals have mostly had their heads taken over with Leftist garbage related to climate change. It's destroying their economy and society.

Putin Offered Seat On Trump’s Gaza Peace Board, Kremlin Says

"Western mainstream media is likely to go into a frenzy over it."

Typical corporate Establishment media.

Apart from that, it is a brilliant offer that only Trump has the skill to make. It confirms w/o doubt that he wants peace in Ukraine.

If Ukraine peace is finally achieved, I predict significant trade deals will be created between the US (and maybe Hungary) and Russia. That will choke all those in the EU and UK who are trying to expand the war. ha-ha

I'm sure US security could be achieved w/o Trumpy buying Greenland. Several more US bases, a bunch of other goodies and contractual paid-for access to its minerals, would provide security, benefit Greenlanders and keep the Chinese out.

You're right. I've been astonished for years by the number of people who don't realise that and exercise their personal freedoms with disregard of others.

Leftists have a problem with democracy because it requires responsibility to exercise personal freedom with due care, but they have none of that.

Massive High-Velocity Coronal Mass Ejection Blasts From Sun, Earth Impact Possible In Days

Climate Change zealots demand we ramp-up NetZero spending as the benefits are not yet
being appreciated by the sun. If that fails, they'll want to impose a heavy fine on the sun.

UK Migrant Crime Surge: Foreigners Top 79% Of Theft Arrests, 40% Of Violent Suspects On Trains

You're right. Whatever criticisms people may have about Trumpy, they need to
face the truth that if he is replaced by a new round of Leftism, God help America
and the World.

MSM Melting Down Over New Term For Liberal White Women

The term is acronym AWFUL, which stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal.

They should never have been given the vote.
I mean, look at the aggro they caused attacking ICE officers and trying to run one down.

UK Migrant Crime Surge: Foreigners Top 79% Of Theft Arrests, 40% Of Violent Suspects On Trains

Ronald Reagan: "Our Founding Fathers, here in this country, brought about the only true revolution that has ever taken place in man's history. Every other revolution simply exchanged one set of rulers for another set of rulers. But only here did that little band of men so advanced beyond their time that the world has never seen their like since, evolve the idea that you and I have within ourselves the God-given right and the ability to determine our own destiny. But freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it and then hand it to them with the well thought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same. And if you and I don't do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America when men were free."

Yes, he made several pertinent points in that comment.
