(At their recent meeting ) the BRICS states not only repeated their critique of the world economic order and North Atlantic financial hegemony, but they offered new policy guidelines and institutions as a counterpoint (and they) have taken some more steps toward the rejection of the North Atlantic’s political leadership over the planet..
Closer to home when Hugo Chavez of Venezuela announced the initiative for the region to start trading in its own currency the Sucre and to set up an institution to to manage this new currency their was an out cry by the regional politicians who are pro Washington. Guess now they will have to take an objective look at such an initiative. Global trade as we know it cannot continue; we all have to admit a —- in the geopolitics of the globe.
President Obama knows it, but is unable to admit it in the face of Republican/Tea party aggression.
