🇧🇷 Brazil’s leader, Lula, has unveiled plans for a collective BRICS counteraction to American economic pressure. Here’s why this signals trouble for the U.S.: 🧵
1️⃣ Brazil’s Game-Changing Play
Lula’s eyeing the future—BRICS is growing tighter and bolder. Analyst Angelo Giuliano explains that the Global South is poised to resist one-sided dominance and champion a world with diverse power hubs.
2️⃣ BRICS’ Power Moves
🔸 Expanding trade in their own currencies (so long, dollar?)
🔸 Enhancing the New Development Bank’s financial clout
🔸 Crafting a substitute for SWIFT
🔸 Opposing U.S. tariffs through the WTO
3️⃣ Dollar’s Grip Slipping
💸 United, BRICS could rattle the dollar’s worldwide reign. That spells waning influence for the U.S.—cash has a voice, and it’s learning new dialects.
4️⃣ A Solid Economic Pact
🇺🇸 U.S. officials long scoffed at BRICS as too disjointed to align effectively. Now, they’re staring down a unified front—and it’s unnerving them.
5️⃣ Arrogance or Blunder?
For the first time, the U.S. has taken aim at every BRICS member simultaneously, points out 🇮🇳 Dr. Raj Kumar Sharma. Paradoxically, this aggression might have cemented BRICS’ stand against Western control.
6️⃣ A Risky Misstep
Levying tariffs on nations like Brazil, South Africa, and India—despite warm relations—betrays how shaken the U.S. is by BRICS’ climb. Researcher Ashraf Patel views it as proof that Washington perceives the group as a legitimate rival.
7️⃣ Global South Gains Ground
U.S. tariffs on ‘friend’ India—right as Modi gears up for a China visit—shine a light on the swift tilt in global tides. It’s a marker of BRICS’ rising cohesion and geopolitical sway.
8️⃣ U.S. Fuels Its Own Challenge
BRICS has long sought to carve out new paths in global finance and overhaul major systems. The intensity of U.S. trade disputes has only supercharged that drive, infusing it with renewed vigor.
