While the yuan is often seen as a growing challenger to the dollar because of China's increasing economic and financial influence in the global economy, its role in global reserves and trade will rise about 2.3% by 2030 — not enough to threaten the dollar's dominance

It's not serious. The Turks are just holding up a middle finger to the EU for refusing to let them join. 'Okay, then we're going to join your competitors' team!'
People really shouldn't attempt to understand world affairs from inside a right-wing conspiracy-theory bubble.

BRICS can have Turkey. Take them right the hell out of NATO. Still the Ottoman Caliphate in my mind. The ones that lost the holy land to the allies after WWI and can't get over it.
We'll take poor ass Ukraine as a replacement, because they're not insane muslims hurling anti-American epithets at our miltary and threatening them on liberty.
Lol BRICS.

In the last few days, Turkey has made a move to join BRICS, what does that mean for its NATO membership? Is this move mainly to allow hostility toward Israel? Also US Marine was attacked in Turkey I believe yesterday....

In last few days, Mexico and I believe Honduras have booted our diplomats for making offensive comments. Of course diplomats are usually people who have done favors for those currently in power. I am sure the Biden family picked some qualified people.
Anyway, in a nutshell, the USA is looking more and more like a joke by the day.
