Every single time I think things cannot get worse for the United States economy, along comes a new piece of news that demonstrates that as bad as things are for us right now, they can, and probably will, get much worse. And you thought we peaked with insane grocery prices, right? I wish.
According to Watcher, a total of 97 countries have stated they will be attending the BRICS 2024 Games this June, which is set to be held in Russia and will feature Russian President Vladimir Putin as host. The games will be put on in the Kazan region between the dates of June 12 to 24.
“97 countries had already confirmed their participation,” said Russia’s Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko. The minister added that the BRICS 2024 Games are an integral part of the development of the country. “The BRICS Games 2024, which were ordered to be organized following the decree of the Russian President Vladimir Putin, are an important part of our country’s chairmanship in this organization,” he said.
He added that all eyes will be on the BRICS Games in 2024. “The upcoming tournament must be organized at the highest possible level,” he said. The sporting event will host 20 different sports with 97 countries participating in Russia.
A total of 40 nations aside from the 97 attending and participating in the BRICS games this year, want to join the alliance. In 2024, seven new countries have formally applied to join the group. What, exactly, is the point of BRICS? They want to help nations get away from using and relying on the U.S. dollar and turn instead to using local currencies.
Another report from Watcher says:
Last year, France was the only European country that wanted to attend the BRICS summit but was denied entry from Russia and China. Both the countries expressed concerns that France aims to sabotage internal information and disrupt the alliance. However, France has not shown interest in being a part of the BRICS 2024 summit.
The seven countries that want to join the BRICS alliance in 2024 before the 16th summit in October are:
- Cameroon
- Pakistan
- Sri Lanka
- Syria
- Thailand
- Venezuela
- Zimbabwe
And that, dear readers, will put the pedal to the metal when it comes to the devaluing of the U.S. dollar, which is already worth about as much as fake money from a board game, and thus the cost we pay for goods and services is going to go up even higher.
The 16th BRICS summit will also be held in Russia’s Kazan region in October this year. The alliance will decide on the prospects of the applications in the upcoming BRICS summit. All decisions will be taken on a consensus basis after weighing the pros and cons of a particular application.
BRICS is the only bloc that is looking to end reliance on the US dollar and push local currencies for cross-border transactions. Read here to know how many sectors in the US will be affected if BRICS ditches the dollar for trade.
We need folks to run for Congress and for the White House who understands the deep trouble we’re in right now and have a plan for setting us on the right track toward economic recovery and stability.
What we really need is a convicted felon in the Oval Office. I think you get what I’m saying.
