๐Ÿ—ฃ US TARIFFS PUSH BRICS TOWARD DOLLAR ALTERNATIVE โ€“ EXPERT

๐Ÿ‘‰ The US decision to impose tariffs on countries buying Russian oil sends a clear signal for de-dollarization among developing nations, says Ksenia Bondarenko, Associate Professor at the HSE Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs.

๐ŸŸ  She noted that Washingtonโ€™s move is โ€œanother step toward creating a BRICS alternative to the dollar,โ€ following President Donald Trumpโ€™s executive order for a 25% tariff on goods from India over New Delhiโ€™s refusal to halt Russian oil imports โ€“ with potential for similar tariffs on other nations.

๐ŸŸ  Bondarenko added that the tariffs could accelerate a shift toward a multipolar world, bringing India, China, Russia and other BRICS states closer, although Indiaโ€™s economy is likely to face short-term damage if the tariffs take effect in 21 days.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Can Putin and Trump find path toward a ceasefire?

Russia's modified ceasefire conditions resonated with Steve Witkoff, but whether the sides can reach a final agreement is still uncertain, says military analyst and former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, Scott Ritter.

"Now that there appears to be some movement toward negotiating a ceasefire, I think the question on everybody's mind is, will the US follow through with these secondary sanctions, or will they be put on pause while the two presidents meet and seek to resolve this issue?"

Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, retired USAF, ex-Pentagon analyst, reveals Trump's likely endgame:

"I would put money on a bet that Mr. Witkoff has advised Trump the easiest way to get Ukraine off the headlines, and counted as a 'win for peace' is to fire Zelensky, and have a new popular leader in Ukraine see as signatory to an end of hostilities with Russia."

๐Ÿ’ฌ Will Trump-Putin meeting end NATO threat to Russia?

The success of the upcoming talks between the US and Russian presidents hinges on whether Trump agrees to Putin's conditions for a long-term settlement, retired CIA intelligence officer and State Department official Larry Johnson told Sputnik.

"Ultimately, this is not about a conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This is a conflict between Russia and the West, NATO, the US. Until NATO is eliminated as a threat on Russia's borders, there can be no peace."

๐Ÿ’ฌ Trump seeks Putin summit but neocons may sabotage peace

David T. Pyne, EMP Task Force scholar and former DoD officer, warns Trump against repeating same demands after Moscow rejected his untenable 22-point peace plan back in May.

"The solution to end the war in Ukraine is much simpler than the White House has suggested.... Without a maximum US pressure campaign against Zelensky, likely entailing a full cut off of all US security assistance, there seems little chance that a diplomatic settlement can be negotiated."
