The BRIC is trying to destroy the US economy, we all know that, they have basically said as much
No, they haven't and they aren't, seeing as they are all dependent on a functioning US (and Western) economy for their own.
Besides that, this whole myth the the BRIC's are some sort of steadfast alliance and all pulling in the same direction is nonsense - they aren't and disagree on as much as they agree.
Glazyev's set of countermeasures specifically targets the core strength of the US war machine, i.e. the Fed's printing press. Putin's advisor proposes the creation of a "broad anti-dollar alliance" of countries willing and able to drop the dollar from their international trade. Members of the alliance would also refrain from keeping the currency reserves in dollar-denominated instruments. Glazyev advocates treating positions in dollar-denominated instruments like holdings of junk securities and believes that regulators should require full collateralization of such holdings. An anti-dollar coalition would be the first step for the creation of an anti-war coalition that can help stop the US' aggression.
"The Chinese and Russians are working together against the Americans, and there are many countries that would be happy to join them in dethroning the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. This historic gas deal between Russia and China is very bad news for the petrodollar," Marin Katusa wrote for Forbes last May.
Another woe is an alternative development bank announced by BRICS, the governments of Brazil, Russia, India and China.

Gog and Magog come after the 1000 year reign of Christ. Unless they deleted it from our history books I'm certain we have never had 1000 years of global peace under one religious ideology.

The good news is that Russia has a pathetic army...and an even more pathetic work ethic(as a society)...and that's to say nothing about the poor innate, inherent IQ of its alcohol imbibing populace....
Once we get a new president with a backbone, America will [again] put that pathetic socialist parasite in its place...

I'm assuming until hearing otherwise that all territory proposed would come from Israel alone and not the surrounding countries that also have Palestinian lands incorporated in their territories.
That's the rub I've always had with these proposals and most likely the reason they've gone nowhere over the years.
Demanding that Israel and Israel alone give territory is a non-starter and just perpetuates an acrimonious situation.
Even were this issue dealt with who thinks ME would all sudden be peaceful?
Not me as Palestinians were kicked out of Syria and Lebanon due the trouble they brought, I think the Palestinian cause offers a convenient excuse for extremists which wont change even with that issue dealt with.
You seem to a bit naive and woefully misinformed with economics and what BRIC actually is. It's funny, actually, because the articles you quoted mentioned the new Development bank being setup by China et al - it's biggest backers are actually Western Governments, including the UK.

BRICS can't destroy the US and the US can't destroy BRICS. It's a chess match where the only potential losers are the citizens, because the elitists bankers have enough for 100 lifetimes.
The Federal Reserve and the global ponzie scheme of private fractional reserve banking is the only force that can dictate financial collapses.
In the US all we would have to do is end the Fed and work with our neighbors in Canada, Mexico and South America. We may due without a few toys until new factories could be built, but BRICS is not a threat to the US. We don't need made in China garbage, and China can find other buyers if they want to stop trading in dollars.
We have only been a truly global community for about 100 years. Russia, China and the US were fine before globalization and will be fine without it. I would be more worried about the effects on smaller 3rd world nations.
