I wonder how many flights to Kazan are being cancelled now?

Reserve currency means foreign countries mostly hold US dollars as short term US Treasuries. That helps in increase demand for US Treasuries. However, examine how China has slowly reduced its US Treasuries holdings since 2014.

The Social Security Trust Fund, Federal Reserve (along with American 401k and IRA account holders) are the number 1 buyer of US Treasuries, not China, Japan, or any of the foreign countries combined.

A lot of these American account holders have at least 40% in US Treasuries (i.e., like Vanguard Lifestrategy Moderate Growth Fund).

My guess is the US federal government remains solvent by eventually reducing Social Security payments to "rich and well-off senior citizens", as part of some means test.

Selling USTs increases demand for USDs, actually.

LOL, South Africa.

The only thing funnier than that is India and China agreeing to share a currency.

Brazil, Russia, China, and South Africa sounds like a recipe for massive corruption.

I'd put more trust in Iraqi Dinars

BRICS issued toilet paper:



See the Taj Mahal? That's a tomb.

Still, ppl would rather have this than the euro:

"What is happening to the Euro?"

The Globalist Nazis want to bankrupt Europe. Recall that the they blew up the
Nord Stream pipeline and were proud of the fact.

The euro is used to back pegged currencies in Africa (West African CFA franc & Central African CFA franc) like the USD is for the currencies used many the Carribean and Latin American countries. On top.of that, the 500 euro note is popular with money launders over the $100 note.

But that data refers to SWIFT transactions. I never knew the euro was processed via SWIFT. Learn something new every day.

So, does this really mean that the drop is likewise only in said SWIFT transactions? Because the euro probably is transacted outside of SWIFT, like in intra euro zone transactions.

Yup. Brazil definitely sabotaged the BRICS summit.

In a huge statement following the US Election, the European Union (EU) has said it will purchase oil from the United States, not BRICS member Russia. Indeed, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Friday that the union is considering replacing Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports with those from the US. The move would be a huge one in the West’s battle against BRICS, one where the US already has multiple sanctions over Russia.

These are the Globalist Nazis talking. Not the free Europeans. A free Europe will buy Russian
oil and gas because it is cheaper.

A free Europe

No such animal.

DemocratsAreTotallyFucked says: "No such animal."

True. Not yet...

That is why Europe's Globalist Nazis are purchasing oil from the United States,

I remember Trump telling EU and NATO about how they are dependent on their adversary (Russia) for energy security.

He naturally got mocked by the left for this.

A few years later, Anthony Blinken smirked during a news conference about how Germany can buy LNG from America after the Nordstream pipeline disaster.

It will be interesting how this resurfaces during the negotiations with the Kremlin.

Most dollars are traded between countries other than the US.

Mis-fire. Good catch.

As it should be.

They should also means test all of the young people on SS disability. They're a lot of able bodied people that get SSDI. Social Security and welfare office's main purpose is to pay administrators and perpetuate poverty.
