The sky is falling, the sky is falling. Any day now the BRICS will issue a new currency that will displace the US dollar as the world reserve currency. We will all be speaking a mix of Chinese and Russian within a decade.

This should get the Iowa wrestlers off the hook, no?  They made bets with a useless valueless currency.

Is it true the new currency will be on the vodka standard?

More likely the tea standard.

Hunter Biden was just appointed to take over for both Janet Yellen and Jerome Powell because of his vast knowledge of foreign currency and geopolitical policies . Our new currency to be  determined. It might be a little bit illegal.

He can Zoom in like Putin.

Putin cannot fly to South Africa or he will be arrested. You know, the basis for a good reserve currency.

I can Zoom in, as the big guy won't let me go anywhere.

Currency isn't on the next agenda, but if it were, I'd bet on tea.

No one is touching vodka. 

Sugar is too volatile.

Spice is too closely aligned with the interests of the dollar to have the desired effect.

South Africa is hosting the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) Summit this week.

Someone on here was claiming that the BRICS would create a currency that would dethrone the USD as the reserve currency. I chuckled.

[ionel]

A BRICS no-show speaks volumes about Putin’s shrinking horizons

So ... definitely currency not on the vodka standard.  

[Husker_Du]

has to be an MSM outlet.
