I hope we respond by putting tariffs on American pickups. Democratic nations need to cut the US out of the global economy entirely until they learn how to act right.

Apologies if there's any weirdness in this post, it's my first one.

I believe BRICS is already working to replace existing USD backed global rare earth and commodity markets with new markets backed by gold and BRICS currencies and without speculation based pricing.

America is no longer a superpower and will soon become just another country to plunder for resources, including human labour.

Forgive me if I'm not excited at whatever dystopian nightmare BRICS comes up with.

The way Modi is at it, I'm not holding out much hope for India staying that way.

I am curious, what is that Modi doing ?

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Assassinations domestically and foreign, voter intimidation, using the police to suppress dissent, using intelligence agencies to intimidate or frame journalists for crimes using NSO's malware. Putting through legislation to legitimize destruction of democratic institutions and other checks on his power.

I'm barely even scratching the surface. All hidden behind a father-knows-best cult of personality, much like Trump is trying to engender.
