Again— great information! Where can I read about this? I read geopolitical economics with Micheal Hudson but have not seen these developments mentioned.

Not sure which comment you're replying to https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/macron-would-be-inappropriate-guest-brics-summit-says-russia-2023-06-22/ but Macron wants more autonomy and sees Brics as the way to a multipolar world but he'd have to leave NATO and probably the EU first. 'Macron's intent to display independence from the US or his possible interest in more cooperation with BRICS countries, it all indicates that the US is no longer what it used to be. Macron has pointed out that Western hegemony may be coming to an end because of the West's own missteps. Macron was reported to have lobbied Donald Trump to reconsider his decision to withdraw the US from the Paris Climate Agreement. And by the end of 2022, he blasted US Inflation Reduction Act. Yet the results are the same - the US does not listen. Worse, with the US profiting from the Ukraine crisis and shifting the burden to Europe, as a major European power, it is impossible for France to have no complaint. Therefore, Macron's move can be seen as expressing dissatisfaction with the US, as the US, the leader of the West, is becoming increasingly unreliable.'

Macron wants to leave the sinking ship. Unfortunately the UK is going to go down with the SS Imperial US.
