    Who are they're going to sell to though? China is the only big economy in that group and they produce well in excess of internal demand and anything else they could sell to those other countries. The other problem for China is that they sell cheap labor, basically.

    There's nothing unique to them, tech or IP wise. You can set up the same sweat shops in Honduras and Guatemala for maybe $.20 more. When Trump put tariffs in China, the immediate reaction for some companies was to move to Vietnam.

    China especially has way, way more to lose than gain from an economic bloc like that.
    El, up late trying to seal Putin off, tighter than a nun's snootch on the Sabbath.

    tee, hee.

    What so Pop can virtue signal by telling Putin he needs more diversity hires?

    No, Trump really might be alive or not be in jail in 2024.

    Yes.
    The economic powers of the world will find their way...???
    What kind of economic power does India have? Russia has the economy of Spain. Wow...

    The reason both are players is they are nuclear powers and huge; and you are cheering miniscule financial agreements.
    Russia is India's main supplier of arms

    There is that small detail.

    The goings on in UKR is barely a story there.

    Otoh, the way the US/EU tanked Russia's economy overnight might lead a number of countries' central banks to consider de-dollarizing in earnest or at least to hedge the risk of undue US/EU influence. Russia, China and Iran are already on that road, it's hard to imagine present cir stances will cause them to reverse course.

    Btw, are there any historical examples of US sanctions regimes that worked? Either for regime change or to achieve immediate political ends? None immediately come to mind for me.

    Nothing was taken away from the central bank. The value of those reserves, being in US dollars, is the same. What changed is nobody in the civilized world wants to do business with Russia.

    And this is largely their own doing as well. When WWII was won, a lot of these concessions were made to the US. Stalin being a loser I'm sure helped.

    Also losing the Cold War happened to have consequences. C'est la vie.

    Looking more and more like Putin is looking over his shoulder. I may lose that bet.

    X is right there, RG.

    + Putin has assured Ukr's that they can flee Ukr, but only thru mother Russia.

    tee, hee.
