Someone here once said it takes two to tango.
Are you seriously supporting the anglophone conservatives royalist revisionist propaganda to shift blame? almost everything can thought of as something that “takes two to tango“. but one side can certainly be the aggressor who perpetuated the tango. That’s like how some British historians blame China for the opium wars, stating that it was due to lack of market access or trade imbalance and how the Chinese were just as bad for operating opium dens. The two does not equate in terms of blame. By your reasoning, do you support the Belgium king cutting the hands off their African slaves for not working hard enough because those workers should have been more productive?

it is certainly hypocritical that the same people who try to whitewash British history are also the ones who blamed Chinese demand for African poachers killing elephants.

I think that is why BRICS leadership is talking about a basket of currency and commodities. Will it work i don't know can't really tell a historic example of something like that being done.
Russia's Sergei Glaziev has also been talking about a Eurasian currency. I hope it will happen, but that talk was months ago, and I haven't heard a thing about it since. I think Glazyev has been running into the same problems that the BRICS countries have. One problem I can think of is this: How can we prevent a new reserve currency from being abused the way the US is abusing the dollar? That will be difficult to solve if we also want to issue massive quantities of the new currency.

I don't know how you can solve it, but i'm sure they will find a way, getting stabilised prices and unrestricted trade within BRICS countries for the next 20~30 years should be an improvement over the eurodollar system.
