lol Pax Americana fails, then 'BRICS fails immediately. India is going to surpass Red China, and it won't feel like carrying either them or Russia, much less Africa. They all depend on technology theft and rich markets with disposable incomes, like the U.S. and Europe. Russia can't even keep Crimea in the long run, they've wrecked its economy and turned it into a big liability, for one, and India and Red China as long term 'allies' is just silly, they're barely civil to each other as it is. Red China's financial system is pure junk and coming apart. Without the U.S. to hide behind all those multinational corps and billionaires have zero defenses against extortion and their laundered money havens will no longer be safe places to park their loot from labor racketeering and price gouging.
