Trump threatens BRICS with tariffs if they replace US dollar

Are you perhaps Colombian or Ecuadorian? I grew up with aguardiente but I've never seen that type of bread. Although we make our aguardiente from sugar cane. Our grape licor we call pisco, but we consider it to be more of a Peruvian/Chilean thing.

You appear to be saying that only the US starts wars? That's not the case.

BRICS was also designed for exactly this scenario; a rogue US finally showing its whole ass to the world.

It was created to diversify the commercial relations of those countries, decentralizing them from US/Europe.

You can call that "protection against a rogue US", but it was much more of a "we will never get rich if those two control everything we do" thing.

Now, that's not true.

You can pick any poor country at random, and you'll find that one policy there with almost no exceptions.

That's not a common interpretation of those words in that order, which would be fantastic if there were a competition for most unique and obtuse construing of sentences; however whether or not such a contest exists, this isn't a part of it.

It's less "we will never get rich", which is objectively incorrect given China is part of BRICS and was rich long before brics was created, and more, "why the fuck is less than 8% of the world entitled to the wealth of over 60%?"

You're right, I wasn't thinking about colossal shitholes.

Portuguese.

We have, technically, two grape alcohols: distilled wine or the distilled leftovers of the wine making process (bagaço).

I was referring to the second one. It's a clear alcohol, with strenght varying from 21% up to 75% (anything above 41% is technically illegal but privates still make the really hard stuff).

It is supposed to be flavour neutral (if it kills your taste buds it does become, along with everything else...) but in reality it still carries some of the flavours of the grapes/wine and it can accentuate other flavours.

It is used as a secondary leavening agent in traditional pastries, especially for very heavy doughs, as the alcohol evaporates and areates the doughs.

You said:

In a world United against the US, there's no war the US can wage effectively.

What about the wars that the rest of the world wage?

...it's not a part of the discussion. Do keep up if you're going to weigh in. I know English sucks, and it really does, but it's the easiest language to learn the basics of for a reason

Sure, and if the BRICS countries offer free spaghetti dinners for residents, I'll sprout wings and fly there. This is notoriously not going to happen.

That is so cool! I distil my own spirits and I make a good amount of illegally potent alcohol, but I've never heard about using them in baking. I will give it a try this weekend. Thank you

Qu'ils mangent de la brioche!

That's their idea. BRICS know they can't beat USA in a straight on fight. But using a different economic model, set up alternative trade, USA can be made irrelevant in the long. USA really likes to play for short term gains, what is a weakness that can be exploited, especially with a "it hurt itself in its confusion" leader.

That sounds delicious. What treatment toppings did you administer?

Have you seen that bronzer?! He must be some carrot, but it’s only skin deep.

I predict a huge collapse of tge us dollar before his term is up

If the world is united against the US, why would they go to war with each other? They would all have a common enemy in a belligerent country run by an egotistical maniac.

Nothing unites people like a common enemy. Just look at how the Republicans get voted in and how Trump got elected again.
