PTS host, Tracy Steele, interviews ASCF Sr. Analyst Laurence Sanford on BRICS Brazil. BRICS is a growing alliance led by China that's challenging U.S. influence and the dollar's dominance. The latest BRICS summit in Brazil marked a significant moment for the bloc, without President Xi Jinping of China present, leaving room for speculation and theories about his absence. Putin did appear in a virtual call and is looking for BRICS nations to help avoid Western sanctions amid his war with Ukraine. Mr. Sanford also discusses how China is waging unrestricted warfare against the U.S. and is using BRICS to strengthen its collective influence on the world stage.   Please subscribe to our newsletter at www.ascf.us for updates on our monthly webinars, survey polls, articles, and podcasts.
