      BRICS+ is announcing payback time for a few millenia

      ehhhh I don’t think this is remotely true. Literally every single country in BRICS is still trying to maintain good relations with the US, the main thing China wants to do is create an alternative to the US-centric global trade network and the main benefit this brings to other countries is that they can’t be sanctioned as easily. “Payback time” won’t happen unless a majority of the world signs on and they all agree to sanction the US and Europe (which would be hilarious but is never gonna happen).

        The US without imperialism is like a leech that can’t parasitize. Of course people are trying to maintain good relations, but that is especially due to the fact that the end result will be destructive and they don’t want the US to get rowdy while it still can.

        Anglosphere will pay indirect reparations in the form of dependence on BRICS+, since the latter holds most of the money, natural resources and manufacturing capabilities. They will not be sucked dry in one jab, but rather it will be a death by a thousand small cuts for the empire.
