Nice, looking forward for the next development within brics. Did Saudi Arabia really join? Some sources say they did, some say they are still considering it, wikipedia is not updated either.
Looking it up (though the only source is Reuters- so who's to say) the Saudis seem to be on the fence (not yet having responded to the invitation, officially looking into whether to join or not)
BBC, bloomberg and WSJ say they did, its been 2 weeks from these how is it not clear yet, mainstream media is so goddamn unreliable. It is a huge deal if SA joins, it very well could mean the end of the petrodollar.
It's not my list. It's natopedia. The same source that you used. In fact, I found the link within that page that you linked.
PPP represents the real economy. You'll recognize this soon enough when every nation outside the west has dedollarized and the USD is no longer propped up by its need for trade.
🤡 Your own list has Iran just below Egypt. Do you think Iran has ever traded in petrodollars? This will have absolutely no effect to actually hurting the Egyptian economy.
Third world countries will do literally anything to benefit their national sovereignity and fragile gringoes will come out of the woodwork to yell "You won't be missed! Babe come back! It's for your own good!"
Two economists are walking in the park. The first economist sees a pile
of dog shit and says to the other, "I'll pay you $50 to eat that dog
shit." So he does and gets paid $50. Later on, the second economist sees
a pile of dog shit and says to the first, "I'll pay you $50 to eat that
pile of dog shit." So he does and gets paid $50.
The first economist says, "I can't help but feel we just ate dog
shit for nothing." "Nonsense," says the second economist, "We just
contributed $100 to the economy."
