Trump made an error in judgment by publicly opposing and threatening the creation of the BRICS common currency. A clever strategy would be to encourage the formation of this chimera and watch it fail. If that's twisted then ignoring these political whims entirely would be a pragmatic course of action. It would've been a dead-on-arrival anyway. Nothing strengthens the USD more than the collapse of a competing currency regime.
Instead, our easily triggered champion of US nationalism took the bait and provided credibility to the idea. Why would Trump fiercely oppose it had it not been a serious threat, a BRICS sympathizer would reason. Furthermore, this act indirectly supports incumbent politicians whose currency plans have vaporized. They could now rally local support in case the power grip will loosen. Nothing unites people more behind the ruling elites than external threats.
Escalatory nationalism begets more nationalism elsewhere. I hope these lessons were learned in the 20th century.

Again, in contrast to Facebook, Google and Twitter, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov runs his company in relative secrecy from Dubai. In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed. "Russians are really disconnected from the reality of what happening to their country," Andrey said. "So Telegram has become essential for understanding what's going on to the Russian-speaking world." That hurt tech stocks. For the past few weeks, the 10-year yield has traded between 1.72% and 2%, as traders moved into the bond for safety when Russia headlines were ugly—and out of it when headlines improved. Now, the yield is touching its pandemic-era high. If the yield breaks above that level, that could signal that it’s on a sustainable path higher. Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future. In December 2021, Sebi officials had conducted a search and seizure operation at the premises of certain persons carrying out similar manipulative activities through Telegram channels.
