At minimum, the US will be involved indirectly. US has too much to lose if Iran takes a lead in the war.

Technically it's western hegemony. US alone isn't capable of a global economy hegemony, despite being the largest economy in the western hemisphere. Rather it's always that EU aligns their policy with the US government.

Besides that, I don't think it will happen. Only Brazil is making this proposal, the other BRICS nations aren't interested. They aren't looking to quickly break western hegemony either.

It's clear to everyone that western hegemony is coming to an end, and these larger BRICS nations seem content to let it happen gradually rather than make a direct effort to end it quickly.

But the main BRICS countries have been creating new payment methods for a while now, with a few successes.

Their alternatives to SWIFT is very successful, it's how both Russia and China have made themselves immune to the secondary effects of western sanctions against Russia. However besides the international transactional agreement, only Brazil have proposed an alternative to US currency, but the other nations have no interest in this.

IMHO, it's probably because Brazil is most vulnerable to the US dollar. The economies of China, India, Russia and SA are not as dependent on the US dollar, since they also trade significantly with non-western nations.

It's not "China" that get's away with anything, but the Western media that's branding them as "Communist" as a form of derogatory propaganda to mark them a copy cat of the USSR.

Right from beginning China has always called themselves "PRC". People's Republic of China. They are a dictatorial republic akin of Cesar's Roman Empire, with a government structure based off communist ideology. But their economic policy have always shifted with the times, it was similar to the USSR when they were the fastest growing economy, and now similar to the US.

Indeed. We already have more than enough land for every human, and can probably even provide for double our global population. The problem is that wealthy already owns the majority of land, and limit its access and usage to the average citizen of his nation.

They are some exceptions of this, India and China are the two I can think of right now. But it also probably one reason they are able to have a very high dense population, people there have more access to land.

This has very little to do with the colonial borders drawn by the British and French almost 100 years ago. Rather it's animosity due to more recent events. In this case, Israel's betray of the Iranian people right before the revolution of 1979.

Russia's new strategy is to take it slow. Hence why they just created two new army for defense in Ukraine. They aren't looking to risk trying to finish this quickly.

Likely not. Everyone who wanted to leave Russia did so in the 1990’s

Pakistan is propped up by the US and China. They will collapse if they lose that support.

About 30-40% of food is wasted in the US, in India its 22%, in China 27%. These are the largest nations in the world. The reality is that we can build more efficient infrastructures that can drastically cut down on this. But we don't need to yet, because it's not cost efficient. That's how much 'free' resources we have produced based on current technologies.

Only bad for nations that are shrinking too fast, like some nordic nations and South Korea. But most other nations will benefit from the less population growth rate.

sonally, I like 6B as a good place to plateau. We’re probably already beyond the planet’s carrying capacity so nee

With the current food growing technologies, we can handle 10 billion comfortable well. We will obviously not reach that number anytime soon. But we are on track to shrinking rapidly in many nations. That will destroy these nations.
