No I know that, I follow BRICS closely. But it can economically isolate the US and the west, which will be very bad for capitalists here. If it works like I hope it will the US will crumble under its own weight.

>>"But it can economically isolate the US and the west..."

That is a pipe dream not built on reality and how the world economic, financial and trading systems work.

That's one reason I dislike the likes of Ben Norton (who loves selling such dreams to his audience in hopes of increasing subscribership, etc.).

Better people to listen to on BRICS are Richard Wolf, Michael Hudson, etc. that really understand the interplay between economic systems and global trading relations.
