mspart Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 BRICS to make a new currency to derail the dollar. EU already tried that with the Euro and that didn't take down the dollar. In fact it was worth more than a dollar and now is about equal to. But it has not become the defacto currency. I predict BRICS won't change anything. If I'm wrong - Hongzhao is a nice city. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a serious question, who would stop China from rolling over Taiwan? Would Biden have the nerve to stand up for Taiwan? Would anyone in this country? I have a friend who worked in China who had a Chinese Army guy that would talk to him. His statement was that the Chinese army could walk to Taiwan, insinuating that they have so many troops that those that survived the waters would walk to Taiwan on the bodies of those that didn't survive. To be honest, I don't know why China would want anything to do with Taiwan. Totally different economies and cultures. Other than to put more people under it's thumb it seems like there's no purpose. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
