        BRICS+ is announcing payback time for a few millenia

        ehhhh I don’t think this is remotely true. Literally every single country in BRICS is still trying to maintain good relations with the US, the main thing China wants to do is create an alternative to the US-centric global trade network and the main benefit this brings to other countries is that they can’t be sanctioned as easily. “Payback time” won’t happen unless a majority of the world signs on and they all agree to sanction the US and Europe (which would be hilarious but is never gonna happen).

          The US without imperialism is like a leech that can’t parasitize. Of course people are trying to maintain good relations, but that is especially due to the fact that the end result will be destructive and they don’t want the US to get rowdy while it still can.

      i mean sure, but that’s also reductive. a strong china weakens the USA & imperial core, which then weakens the most other states & gives leftists breathing room
