BRICS as a bloc is not only expanding but is emerging as an alternative to the US-dominated global order. Most countries have suffered US bullying and are taking steps to break the shackles of dollar hegemony to help create a better world.
Nobody likes to be disliked. In fact, most people love to be loved, Americans more than anyone else. Yet American rulers are not only disliked worldwide but even the American people do not like them anymore. A Gallup survey found only 31% of Americans approve of their government.

Islamic Iran has a score to settle with Donald Trump and his minions who were involved in the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani three years ago. It was a war crime and those responsible must be held accountable.
US President Joe Biden’s National Security Strategy document identifies three principal enemies: China, Russia and Iran, in that order. His prescription: to acquire more weapons, to terrorize opponents into submission. This did not work in the past and is not likely to succeed in the future.
