This move is a Simple pragmatism by all parties to insure the stability of oil to china who is far more dependent on it than the west ever was. CN can’t afford a gulf war conflict.
Is it meaningful? have the BRICS been meaningful? Nope.
Threat to security? Don’t see it. We have no strategic interests there any longer, and it’s been a sink for us.
Threat to the dollar? A long time if so. Would it matter? Very unlikely. US is very likely to absorb all world capital if any of the predicted changes in geoeconomic shift occur.
Can they form a block for authoritarian countries vs rule of law countries? Sure. Does it matter? I doubt it. It would weaken western debt capacity. It would keep the world financial system a bit more honest. Instead of one hegemon as now, or ten empires as in history, can we effectively have two or three? Sure. Fine. Is there such reason for war between us? Possibly. All three are territorially aggressor empires.
What does this mean for Israel? Assuming anyone cares in this feed (which I sort of doubt) I don’t think so. Stability serves Israel’s interests.
The world is going to look more like the 18th century but with fewer ’empires’. That is, until the current generations age out. The internet is accomplishing more than our propaganda ever did. And I assume that the progress toward self-determination will play out as the world-island center civilizes, Russian and Chinese populations collapse, and the middle east spends another century trying to recover from ww1 border fiascos.
Any wisdom, pls share it. 😉

I mean it as the dissident (angry) right that’s favoring authoritarianism from any point on the spectrum.

COLOR ME CURIOUS?
I don’t understand why this matters. China is far more dependent on ME oil than the west ever was. Why not have them fulfill the role? It’s been a sink for us.
Can they displace the dollar? For how much of the world? If long term is as expected, neither China nor any other of these countries are viable.
Is this a military or strategic issue? Well not really, because all our allies are dependent upon seas, and not the ‘world island’. We can siege china from a distance if we lost Taiwan. And do it long enough it doesn’t matter.
IMO I see this as a rational choice by all parties that’s practical.
I don’t see any long-term threat.
I do see a military threat from the remaining ‘corrupt empires’ of Russia, Iran, and China. And I do see a political marketplace for an authoritarian network of countries to work together vs a network of modern countries to work together.
Please correct me if I err.
Thanks. 😉

WHY THE WORLD ABANDONS THE WEST?
Does the world hate the west (natural law, rule of law, republican government, democratic elections, global trade, and the prosperity that results)? Or does the world hate the degeneracy of neoMarxism, Multiculturalism, Postmodernism, Feminism, Hedonism, and Woke?
OK, let’s make the question even worse? What culture (civ) did natural law, rule of law, republican government et al arise from? (Western), and what culture (civ) did Marxism, neoMarxism, Multiculturalism, Postmodernism, Feminism, Hedonism, and Woke et al arise from? (Jewish)
And if the Western people, or at least, Western women, are vulnerable to the revolution against Western civ by Jewish influence; and if the West is providing the vehicle for the propagation of this influence, then it’s rational for the ‘moral’ world to resist “the whole package”.
So is the world against western culture and its institutions? Or is it against Jewish culture and its war against western institutions, and the moral institutions of the rest of the world, via western institutions? It’s obvious. It’s also fixable: Outlaw immoral cultural sedition.
So disambiguate between the west and western high-trust institutions that continue traditional morals that maintain the primacy of the intergenerational family as the purpose of policy, and restore the prohibition of ‘hazarding’ our young from the commons.
We are not criminals until we are aware we’re committing a crime. The rule of law states “no law no crime”. However this doesn’t apply to torts. If damage is don’t then restitution is due.
How do we collect restitution from the Marxist, pomo, woke, cult?

CORRECT ANSWER
When the internet was limited to scientists and engineers it benefitted all of us.
Like everything in the world: mass markets, like mass democracy seek the bottom of the stimulation pyramid.
Why? Because “Brains seek stimulation by novelty by the means comprehensible.”
So, put basal stimuli in children’s hands and that’s what you get.
Put mass communication in the hands of nitwits and they’ll gossip about ‘simple folks talk about people, less simple folks talk about events, and not simple folks talk about ideas and are bad at it, and very not simple folks falsify ideas and invent new ones, some of which aren’t bad.
It’s not complicated.
