  9.  @Cryptospirosis  People also thought Russia invading Ukraine was teh stupidest thing they could do; yet they did it and now Russia is getting grinded down and losing tens of thousands of men for nothing. Leaders aren't always smart. That being said, no one in BRICS barring Russia and China is moving against the USD. Population size doesn't matter in contrast to the overall GDP/wealth of a bloc -and the West alone makes up some 40% of the world's economy. With the US' closest allies that rises to as high as 60%. Even if India aligned with China, it wouldn't matter in regards to USD dominance. The rest of the world's wealthiest countries which make up a larger share of the world economy would just take up their lost dollars and their economy would crash. Manufacturing and population means nothing compared to the currency needed to trade. You're living in the 20th century still, and it's hilarious. BRICS isn't an alliance or a union, it's a trade organization. It's like being proud of NAFTA, ASEAN, or APEC. Only desperate people unironically think that it's some kind of alliance. I just pity you; especially in thinking that India which so obviously is a rival for China would align with it for...what, exactly? China has goals in Kashmir, Pakistan, funded terrorists in India, bankrupted Sri Lanka nearby; outside of Indian love for Putin, everything in India is anti-China. China is alone in the world, and its all because of China's own imperialist actions. Keep whining about "de-dollarization" though, I'm sure it will happen some time this century. The USSR hoped for it too...and they had a bigger share of the world economy while actually aligned with India than China does today aligned with India(LOL).
