I don't think Americans are fully realizing the threat that the BRIC organization is to our economic future...

 

I don't think that many Americans are fully realizing the threat that the BRIC organization is to our economic future.

In any economic organization it eventually becomes insular.  By that I mean that they will engage in trade with each other at the expense of those outside the organization.

Look at the Tweet above.  Half the worlds population.  Most of the world's top oil producers.  Half ot the top natural gas reserves.

You can be all about green energy but the reality is that its a long way off till or even if it becomes a reality.  Nuclear power has become a boogey man so fossil fuels is where its at for at least another 100 years (unless the politics changes and I think it MUST).

You say that they only compose 37% of the global GDP?  That will change and change fast.  Are you looking at what's going on in Africa?  The age of colonialism is rapidly ending.  Suddenly the Africans realize what they have.  All those precious earth minerals and uranium that we won't harvest in our own countries are gonna cost an arm and a leg.

You can bet your ass that oil exploration will soon come and the people are tired of the constant wars and terrorism.  Iron hands will bring peace and a bit of prosperity (of course the corruption will remain rampant for awhile but that too will eventually be sorted out).

We're on the wrong side of a losing hand.

Arrogance led us to a focus on only the West and now that bill will come thru.

We still have a small window to right ourselves, stop pushing our jacked up values on others and start real diplomacy before we lose it all.

Confidence is not high and if I'm right and we don't get it done then we will see our standard of living decline.  Maybe not for my generation but for our children's.
