BRICS has a project to create a cryptocurrency to denominate all trade between those countries. Not sure if it'll be successful, but it's definitely their ambition.

Yes, and the US is in the amazing position where basically all global trade is denominated in US dollars. This tariff thing is just going to incentivise everyone to switch to something else.

The logic is that if potential immigrants hear about the terrible conditions, they won't attempt to cross the border. It's basically modelled on the Australian 'stop the boats' policy, which hasn't actually stopped the boats.

And Israel is basically the exception that has been allowed to kill Americans without even a hint of protest. It's not even about the race of the victim, they can kill any American.

Sounds to me like you didn't see the debate. He dropped out because of the debate performance. And yes, with speeches he was better because he tends to actually read what's there instead of Trump's going off script and rambling about Arnold Palmer's dick or whatever.

And Trump is a fascist, I'm pretty sure you can go through my posts and find posts where I say that.
