USA & it’s allies sanctions on Russia as a result of the unprovoked war on Ukraine has led to strengthening of Russia trade ties with India, China and other nations.
They’re trying to establish a multipolar world where USD is no more a world reserve currency. A thread 🧵
If you look at the worlds countries from their largest trading partners perspective, US is on a steady decline and China is dominant lately.
USA and other nations have been moving manufacturing offshore mostly to China which made it a $14 Trillion GDP second largest economy.
Almost 400 tons of gold scooped up was by the worlds central banks. It’s the largest buy back from worlds central banks ever since 1967 when dollar was still backed by gold. It looks like the central banks around the world realize that the USD paper Ponzi has gone on for too long
US warning sanctions on those who purchase Russian oil is like asking an addict to stop buying cheap meth from a specific dealer.
Countries don’t care, they buy anyways. If not they are pushed to trade with BRICS+. Russian economy got stronger amid U.S. sanctions.
If 12 more countries join BRICS+ and if they’re able to trade in their own asset backed currency, that’ll definitely dethrone USD from reserve currency.
All these years US has been able to export inflation due to a strong dollar. Nations don’t need dollar reserves anymore.
Algeria formally applies to join BRICS+
Algeria is Europe’s largest provider of natural gas after Russia and Norway. It has the 11th largest gas reserves in the world.
BRICS is turning into the world's source for commodities. They need to figure out a BRICS trade currency.
USA is $31 trillion in debt. Entire world is around $350+ trillion in debt.
At current debt levels, nations are under huge pressure to revive growth & reduce spending. As long as they’re under the chokehold of USD which US can inflate at will, they’ll never be debt free.
Looking at the national debt levels with a debt-to-gdp measure, Japan is the worst. Most western nations are heavily debt ridden. USA with its $31 trillion in debt, they’ll have to spend roughly $1.5 trillion just for interest payments at current rising rates.
USA #MilitaryIndustrialComplex is a tool to keep the world in check with USD being reserve currency for the last century. Now that the world realized that Ukraine is a tool for conflict with Russia & Taiwan a tool for conflict with China, it’s hard for USA to keep funding wars.

If accepted, the new proposed BRICS members would create an entity with a GDP 30% larger than the United States, over 50% of the global population.
They’d control over 60% of global gas reserves. Its not a free trade bloc, but members do coordinate on trade matters and have established a policy bank, the New Development Bank, (NDB) to coordinate infrastructure loans. NDB rivals the IMF which has been totally U.S. centric.
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) was set up by China at about the same time for largely the same reasons, to offer alternative financing than that provided by the IMF & World Banks, which were felt to impose political reform policies designed to assist the USA
Both the NDB & AIIB banks are Triple A rated, capitalised at US$100 billion. The NDB bank shares are held equally by each of the five members. In total, the BRICS grouping as it currently stands accounts for over 40% of the global population and nearly a quarter of world’s GDP.
Together the new BRICS members create an entity with a GDP 30% larger than US
Afghanistan $22 B
Algeria $168 B
Argentina $492 B
Egypt $404 B
Indonesia $1.2 T
Iran $232 B
Kazakhstan $192 B
Nicaragua $14 B
Nigeria $441 B
Saudi Arabia $834 B
Senegal $28 B
Thailand $506 B
UAE $36 B

Minnesota was big in fraud including daycares, transportation, Medicare autism… but California is even bigger... @nickshirleyy and team uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences.
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any consequences.
For decades, vulnerable British children, predominantly young girls from working-class backgrounds, endured unimaginable horrors at the hands of organized grooming gangs. These predators, often operating in tight-knit networks, targeted preteens and teenagers with calculated manipulation, luring them with gifts, alcohol, and false affection before subjecting them to repeated sexual abuse, trafficking, and violence. Cities like Rotherham, Rochdale, and Oxford became epicenters of this nightmare, where thousands of victims were passed around like commodities, their cries for help drowned out by a culture of denial. The scale was staggering—reports later revealed over 1,400 cases in Rotherham alone, spanning years of systemic exploitation that shattered lives, leaving survivors with lifelong trauma, addiction, and shattered trust in society.
The police played a complicit role through inaction and willful blindness, often dismissing victims' accounts as unreliable or fearing accusations of racism, as many perpetrators hailed from specific ethnic communities. Investigations were shelved, evidence ignored, and arrests delayed to avoid stirring community tensions, allowing the abuse to fester unchecked. Politicians, particularly in local councils and national parties reliant on bloc votes from immigrant communities, turned a blind eye for electoral gain, prioritizing political correctness and vote banks over child protection. This toxic mix of cowardice and self-interest meant reports were buried, whistleblowers silenced, and justice delayed for years, exposing a profound failure of leadership that betrayed the nation's most vulnerable.
In response to this madness, the Reform Party has emerged as a vocal force pushing for radical change, advocating stricter immigration controls, enhanced child safeguarding measures, and accountability for authorities who failed. By championing policies that prioritize integration, border security, and zero-tolerance for exploitation, the party aims to dismantle the conditions that enabled such gangs to thrive, rallying public outrage into actionable reform. Their platform seeks to restore faith in institutions by demanding transparency, tougher sentencing, and community-led prevention, positioning themselves as the antidote to decades of neglect and political expediency.
The implications of mass immigration without assimilation ripple across broader Europe, fostering parallel societies where cultural clashes erode social cohesion and breed exploitation. In countries like Sweden, Germany, and France, unchecked influxes have led to no-go zones, heightened crime rates including sexual violence, and strained public services, as unintegrated groups form insulated enclaves resistant to host norms. This fragmentation fuels populist backlash, economic burdens from welfare dependencies, and a loss of national identity, ultimately threatening democratic stability and amplifying divisions that could spiral into widespread unrest if not addressed through enforced integration and controlled borders.
We’ve had the definition of "philanthropy" wrong this whole time
People get caught up in the perception of goodness rather than the reality of it
Elon Musk is right: if philanthropy literally means "love of humanity," then building companies to ensure our survival is the ultimate philanthropic act
Look at Elon Musk's playbook:
• SpaceX = Ensuring multi-planetary survival
• Tesla = Accelerating sustainable energy
• Neuralink = Curing brain injuries & mitigating AI risk
• Boring Co = Solving the everyday hell of traffic
• X & xAI = Enabling free speech & maximally truth seeking unbiased AI
Writing a check will not solve these problems. Engineering does
Engineering the future of humanity is hard. That’s real philanthropy
