BRICS, Yemen, and Sleepy Joe: Path to America’s Rapid Decline in 2024

The year 2024 is going to be challenging to the US. Let's take a look as to why this is the case.

The cost of the war on Ukraine, the war in israel, Yemen preventing israeli affiliated ships from entering through Bab al-Mandab, forcing them to go all the way around Africa, and with countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE and Iran joining BRICS are major blows on the US hegemonic economy and the American dollar. The American leadership is being tested like never before.”

On 24 August 2023, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Argentina, and Ethiopia were invited to join BRICS. Although Argentina’s libertarian president Javier Milei, who is pro-West and pro-Zionism, recently announced their withdrawal from the BRICS expansion bloc, the rest of the countries mentioned have become official members of BRICS as of 1 January 2024.

Let’s focus on Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE for now since they are the most vital components in both, West Asia, and as BRICS expansion.

Saudi Arabia and UAE are obviously known for being very rich countries for their oil. But besides the oil, they are rely on importing products from other countries, technology is one of the examples. It makes UAE and Saudi Arabia crucial customers in terms of trades with other countries.

While in the case of Iran, it has natural resources, like oil, gas, and lithium, and it is also able to produce many of its own goods, such as technology, consumer goods, automobiles, electronics, home goods, and even military equipment and drones. Countries having natural resources along with an ability to produce and export other material besides those, it makes the country very valuable to have in BRICS expansion, and takes BRICS to a whole new level.

As we mentioned lithium, Iran earlier this year announced their discovery of world second largest lithium reserve deposit. It allows Iran to have 10% of control of the world’s known lithium reserves of 89 million tones, according to the Financial Tribune.

China heavily relies on Australia for lithium to produce electric cars and electric cars are also on the rise as years go by. With Iran emerging as the second largest lithium deposit, it allows Iran to have more control in the market. Iran and China have had good ties, even before BRICS. Iran can even sell lithium cheaper compared to Australia and that would be both a blow on the Australian/Western economy and also an advantage for Iran to generate more income, helping its economy thrive just a bit more.

Keep in mind, BRICS will be using its own currency which is backed by gold. Speaking of gold, Saudi Arabia recently made a discovery of a large gold deposit in Mecca. A gold mining company named Maaden announced their discovery in 30 December 2023.

With the gold deposit discovery by Saudi Arabia and lithium deposit discovery by Iran, it’s making that one fellow a little bit jealous, especially with the fact that its once big customer is joining BRICS. Even when the diplomatic ties between Tehran and Riyadh were resumed earlier this year, it made the US feel anxious, as they fear losing control.

As we speak, the US is now finding itself in a position that never seen before in their history and things are also moving too fast – too fast for Biden to have a grasp of what is going on.

When Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, UAE, and Argentina were announced to join BRICS – although Argentina have made their withdrawal – we all saw that as a major move toward multi-polarity as how the US and the West in general are not going to be that leading power in everything.

While we considered that as a big move, and with the heavy cost of the war on Ukraine (the US sending billions of dollars to them), has been making its economy bleed slowly and put the dollar in a serious threat that will lead it to decline. Bloomberg has even described 2023 as the worst year for the American dollar.

As mentioned before, things are moving fast and a lot of things that have happened recently as well which were not expected which added more of a challenge to the US and Western economies: 7 October 2023, the Al-Aqsa Flood. Another war besides the Ukrainian one, so that means more billions to give.

The US gives billions of dollars every year to “israel,” even before 7 October. In fact, that has been like an annual ritual for the US to continue its colonization of Palestine. But since the war started, more obligations came out with it as well.

In November 2023, it is reported that the US gave $14.5 billion to “israel” (AP News), where before this war, they used to give around $3-$5 billion annually, so the cost has tripled.

The genocide in Gaza, which is a sign of huge failure from “israel” to counter the Palestinian resistance such as Hamas, has led to the anger of other resistance groups. In South Lebanon there is Hezbollah and even Yemen’s Ansarallah.

Ansarullah has made it clear that the continuity of the heinous genocide in Gaza against the civilians will not be left unpunished. “israel” so far has murdered at least 20,000 people, mostly women and children. As a response, Ansarallah began seizing any ship affiliated with “israel” trying to enter through Bab al-Mandab, preventing it from reaching “israel,” affecting “israel” economically, where ships have to go from all the way around Africa and then through Mediterranean Sea just to reach “israel” and that can massively affect the price of the products reaching the occupation entity.

That itself had already caused 85% drop in activity in Eilat Port. Perhaps this can even lead to more anger and frustration by the “israeli” settlers against Netanyahu and his leadership, which allows the settlers to have more reasons to blame any “israeli” failure on him, from them not being able to free the “israeli” prisoners and also the increased cost of living.

Ansarallah’s motive is to defend the innocents in Gaza and to stop the Zionist aggression. They said they will stop seizing ships if “israel” stops their genocide.

The cost of the war on Ukraine, the war in israel, Yemen preventing “israeli” affiliated ships from entering through Bab al-Mandab, forcing them to go all the way around Africa, and with countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Iran joining BRICS are all major blows on the US hegemonic economy and the American dollar. The American leadership is being tested like never before.

Although there is a fair criticism of BRICS, in that it is purely an economic alliance and has no ideological common ground. That is not to say this organization has no power, but it has limitations when its member states don’t agree on many issues of the world, and some may even take part in sanctions against another member state. However, BRICS is not powerless in spite of that and is only the beginning of alternative alliances to those dominated by the Zionists and western liberals.

Perhaps more ideological-based alliances will arise in the future, and not for just economic issues, but for replacing the useless United Nations or International Criminal Court with honest equivalents who have the power to enforce its rulings and who represent its member states fairly without an imbalance of power, as we currently see in the UN Security Council with the veto powers being in the hands of the Satanic regimes of the world.

As we enter 2024 and the presidential elections in the US, one of their mission now is cleaning the mess Biden have left, there are now two wars to be solved and also how to save the American economy and its dollar from the emerging economy coming from BRICS. But that mess could be beyond repair as it has already paved the way of multi-polarity.
