And I, as an European, ask him to kick the bucket ASAP.

What about you go fuck yourself instead? 100%, 200%, doesn't really matter. Just go fuck yourself.

BRICS is like half the world’s gdp, their economies are expanding faster than any western nation. This is because they invest in their economy, their infrastructure, their labor force. Instead of tariffs and saber rattling, we should do that.
But we won’t. Because our aristocracy are exploitative bastards who would rather rule a pile of shit than allow the average worker to have a decent life.
Speaking as an American, we fought a revolution to overthrow the last aristocracy that treated us this way. I know many other nations have as well.
They’re not giving us much of a choice.

WTF? First of all BRICS has 28.7% of global nominal GDP and 38.35% PPP.
R=Russia which is fighting a massive war in Ukraine
I=India common fighting against Pakistan including some this year
Please actually read up on other countries. The US has a lot of problems and is getting worse, but that still leaves the US in a pretty decent place globally, seeing as it still is insanely rich.

Alright. We can do that as soon as you start flooding Ukraine with US weapons to fight Russia, deal?

Everyone hates Trump but cutting off Russian money is needed to save Ukraine. What was the point of the EU cutting off Russian gas if Russia just sells it for more to India?
-
Not sure if gas is the same as crude, but if it is then the price is capped so that Russia doesn't make any money off it. Then India can buy from Russia and sell it on for profit to the market, meaning that India profits instead of Russia, and the rest of us gets to enjoy fairly normal prices when it comes to oil and gas. Almost everyone is happy.
Which is why India is rightfully pissed at Trump for sabotaging this setup, probably because it was done under Biden, when they've been doing exactly what everyone wanted, and expected.
Edit: India is pissed because not only did Trump sabotage the setup, he's also punishing India for doing something that the setup permitted and encouraged. Turkieye (or how you spell it) is doing the same as India IIRC.

The price isn't capped but it doesn't matter that they sell it for less profit.
They sell it to India for cash which funds their war against Ukraine. India likes the cheap resources so doesn't care that they are funding Russia's invasion.

Trump must be punishing India for their recent visit to China. If India becomes friends with China then who is going to contain China?

Rather the whole world (russia also even it pains to say it..) should unite and drive every single yankee soldier out of the world back to U.S
