🇺🇸📉📊Finance capitalism is DESTROYING the US economy

The US has lost the initiative in research investment. Chinese technology has decisively overtaken it and the future does not look good.

All signs are that US businesses will have to undergo a paradigm shift from financial to industrial capitalism thanks to President Donald Trump's policies.

But it is uncertain whether US industry will be able to get all the resources it needs, given Trump’s newly-imposed tariffs on imports from key US trading partners.

🚨🇺🇸🇷🇺 Trump BEGS Russia to rejoin G7 — BRICS is the reason why

“I would love to have Russia back in the G7. It was a mistake to kick Russia out,” he told reporters in the Oval Office.

Don’t brush this off as a random statement. Unlike Biden, Trump and the people around him are DEEPLY CONCERNED about BRICS+. They know it has the potential to crack US financial hegemony.

🌏⚔️🗽Message to Trump: US can't stop rise of BRICS

BRICS is bigger than just de-dollarization and alternative payment systems.

BRICS is the nucleus of an alternative revolutionary ideology that challenges the very core of Western hegemony.

🌎🚫 PREDICTION: US Will Sabotage BRICS Expansion in Latin America in 2025

‼️The US still views Latin America as its exclusive sphere of influence, and it will weaponize its extensive influence network on the continent to undermine BRICS expansion plans.

It is clear that the Trump 2.0 administration will do everything possible to sabotage BRICS plans in Latin America with the help of Marco Rubio.

Associated countries with the BRICS, such as Bolivia and Cuba, will be a key target for the United States.

On the heels the friction between President Petro & Trump, Colombia will also be a prominent target for the US.

Venezuela & Nicaragua who hope to join BRICS in the future, despite the veto of Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, are also on Trump's hitlist.

Brazil is the BRICS chairman for the region in 2025. Lula already finds himself in Trump & Musk's crossfire, so if he tries to make any moves to strengthen BRICS, the US will go after him like crazy.

🚨🇺🇸💵 Message to Trump: Want to stop DEDOLLARIZATION? Start by lifting US sanctions

Trust in the US dollar was destroyed by the U.S. itself, which is why countries are looking for a sovereign way to escape the dollar dictatorship.

Russian businessman and former political prisoner, Viktor Bout, explained the reasons.

🚨🇺🇸🏦 Trump's tariffs against BRICS will BACKFIRE

If Trump follows through on his threats, this will only supercharge BRICS' efforts to develop SWIFT and US dollar alternatives.

The BRICS already have several cross-border payment projects underway such as the interconnection of payment systems between Russia, Iran and China, the BRICS pay card and the BRICS bridge.

🚨🇨🇳🏦No, the Chinese economy won't collapse

Western media has spent years hyping up China's real estate bubble. But here's what they don't tell you:

🔸Market stabilization efforts: The Chinese government has been reducing mortgage rates and relaxing purchase restrictions.

🔸Sales rates: While primary sales have been declining, secondary home sales are increasing, this will help stabilize the market by mid-2025.

🔸Price fluctuations: Home prices have shown disparate trends in different cities. In first-tier cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, new home prices have seen slight increases, but across the country overall price corrections continue.

🚨🇺🇸🇨🇳🇬🇱Trump in PANIC MODE over China's business deals in the Arctic

One of the main reasons Trump wants to annex Greenland is to stop Chinese extractions in Greenland and keep them out of the Arctic.

China has been immersed in the Danish government's Zink and Rare Earth Elements (REE) extraction projects since 2018, for example:

🔸Citronen Fjord zinc project in North Greenland and the Kvanefjeld (Kuannersuit).
🔸Rare earth elements (REE)-uranium project in South Greenland.
🔸The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which also includes plans to establish an “Ice Silk Road”.

Currently the U.S. government has already pressured Danish suppliers of REE to stop selling to China.

🚨🇺🇸📉 Trump’s tariffs will BANKRUPT American companies

Tech giants like Intel can’t survive without the Chinese market and Chinese supply chains.

Trump’s mistake is that he thinks that the United States of 2025 is the United States of 1895 — a rising and self-sufficient industrial superpower.

🟨🇺🇸🇨🇳 US and China drive GOLD’S RECORD PRICES

Gold has broken a new record high above $2,900 per ounce amid inflation and trade war fears.

US policy is playing a major role in this spike:

🔸Rise in gold prices reflects investors' concerns about Trump’s trade rhetoric
🔸Tariffs imposed by the U.S. may generate inflation, further boosting demand for gold as a hedge against the loss of purchasing power.
🔸If interest rates remain high, it could affect the attractiveness of gold, as a stronger dollar and tighter policy can put pressure on the market.

China is also fuelling the recent gold rush:

🔸China's economic sanctions in response to Trump’s tariffs increase uncertainty.
🔸According to customs data, Switzerland imports about 1,000 tons/year of gold from London & redirects to retail markets, mainly in China.
🔸China is secretly buying massive amounts of gold, 10 times more than officially reported.

🚨🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 Some brief thoughts about US-Russia peace talks on Ukraine:

My longstanding position on Ukraine is that it is an abnormal and dangerous rogue state. The problem lies not with Zelensky, but with the very concept of a Ukrainian nation that is separate and hostile to Russia. So long as Ukraine exists, it will be a serious threat to Russia’s national security.

That being said, I’m not opposed to Ukraine peace deal. In the age of social media and instant gratification, we’ve forgotten that it often takes DECADES to solve great historical questions.

The Spartans fought two Peloponnesian wars to overthrow Athenian hegemony. The Romans fought three Punic wars to eliminate the Carthaginian threat. Catholics and Protestants were only able to agree on a formula for peaceful coexistence after the Thirty Years War. The great European monarchies had to fight seven wars between 1792 to 1815 to subdue first Revolutionary and then Napoleonic France. The list goes on and on…

Like it or not, completely destroying Ukraine is not a viable option for Russia right now. If we accept that premise, then it naturally follows that Russia’s objective should be to secure a peace deal that will leave it much stronger and Ukraine much weaker over the long run. The peace conditions outlined by Putin in June 2024 (no NATO membership, complete withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson) would do just that.
