More than 71,000 Russian soldiers have been identified and confirmed to have been killed in Ukraine, according to a late-September report by the independent Russian media outlet Mediazona.
Using open source research, Mediazona has been documenting the names of Russian soldiers killed, verifying the information through obituaries, posts by relatives, statements from local authorities and other public reports.
Leaked US documents suggest that more Russian soldiers have been killed than previously estimated.
In July, The Economist reported that between 462,000 and 728,000 Russian soldiers had been killed, injured or captured by mid-June, citing documents by the US Department of Defense.

Yeah..
The world has been using the US dollar for far too long now, and that has only benefitted the US..and also given US law makers a sense that they run and own the whole world.
Time for the US dollar to stand on its own like every other currency

The days of Western global hegemony are numbered
We exploit our own working populations to enrich the ruling elites, to speak nothing of the calamities we have wrought on other countries with invasions, wars, overthrown governments and leaders assassinated - again, just for the benefit of our oligarchical elites - because they would not submit to the rule of neo-colonialist policies set by American instruments of power: the IMF and World Bank. We evilly and cynically foment conflict and war just to empty our stockpiles of weapons so they have to be replenished by the military industrial complex.
Nobody is being "held hostage" by China. BRICS serves up an alternative economic system to the corrupt self-serving systems the West imposes, often by violence. How can we know this? Because China has in fact never projected military force in other countries. They haven't even developed or built such capability. There are no Chinese carrier battlegroups. No government was ever overthrown by China. What they have to offer is mutually beneficial trade, and all are free to say No without threat of reprisal. In fact, more and more are saying Yes: BRICS has expanded, and 30 more countries are applying for membership to date.
I am hopeful that this development will shine a light on China and BRICS as a model for others to follow as a peaceful means of achieving economies that work for the benefit of common people. Xi and Putin will be remembered as the greatest statesmen of these times, if not in the minds and media in the West then certainly in the rest of world as evidenced by the growing solidarity.

While President Vladimir Putin is eager to demonstrate to fellow leaders at the BRICS summit that Russia is shrugging off Western sanctions over his war in Ukraine, organizers are sending foreign guests a different message — bring cash.
The summit’s website reminds visitors that they won’t be able to use their Mastercard or Visa cards issued outside of Russia to make payments or cash withdrawals in the country. Union Pay cards are valid but with restrictions, it said.
Instead, Russia advises the summit’s participants to bring dollars or euros, adding that they’re the only currencies that can be “freely exchanged for cash in rubles in most banks in Russia.” It also suggests taking out the home-grown Russian Mir bank card, providing instructions on obtaining one, including at the airport in Kazan, which is hosting the BRICS meeting.
It’s an embarrassing admission for Kremlin officials, who have taken to labeling the dollar and euro as “toxic” currencies in response to sanctions imposed by the US and its Group of Seven allies over Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Russia has turned toward “friendly” currencies such as China’s yuan to try to lessen the economic impact on trade from the restrictions.
The Mir payment system was once touted as a Russian alternative to Visa and Mastercard, though those hopes have mostly been dashed as even some of Moscow’s closest allies have turned away from the card after it was sanctioned by the US.

Record high deaths in the Russia-Ukraine war: What you should know
You bring up conflicts that are instigated by Western imperialism, 50 years old and that are of Chinese local security interest with ramifications on their ability to conduct maritime trade. Likewise security matters that Russia is dealing with today in Ukraine, instigated by warmongering Western powers.
The court of world opinion disagree with you. The global south stands with China and Russia.

Not sure what our point is. This is because of sanctions and wars carried out by the West. Which is accelerating the development of BRICS payment and trade settlement systems independent of the West. Seems like a helpful PSA given by Russia to delegations attending the BRICS summit from member states and scores of countries wanting to join that have convened in Kazan.
Sure sure pinko.
Supporting the Khmer Rouge, invading Vietnam, annexing Tibet, throwing thousands of people into concentration camps, inundating Africa in debt, ramming Filipino vessels, is “security”Right is left. Up is down. 2+2=5.In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable—what then?

Point was that even inside a BRIC nation like Russia, nobody wants to do business with their currencies so they are telling them to keep your Yuan ( 0.14 United States Dollars), Russian ruble ( 0.010 United States Dollars ), Rupees ( 0.012 United States Dollars) , Rands ( 0.057 United States Dollars ) & Real ( 0.18 United States Dollar) at home

Interesting that you bring up commercial aircraft. I wouldn't bet against Comac taking over the global market from Airbus and Boeing, like they have already taken over with EVs.
Chinese Xiaomi is coming out with self-developed 3nm chips for their new phone devices. Sanctions that aimed to kill Chinese semiconductor industry have failed.
China's first 3nm SoC by Xiaomi marks a seven-year gap since its last launch, likely manufactured by TSMC
Xiaomi's self-developed 3nm chip has begun taping out, marking the first 3nm mobile SoC launched by a Chinese company, with TSMC anticipated as the manufacturer. However, neither Xiaomi nor TSMC has confirmed this information, and shortly after the news broke, related video reports were removed.

BRICS will never happen, China will not stop using $ as they make a lot of money trading with us
This is all Putin plot to weaken the West but the problem is Russia is too weak of a country economically and militarily to do any real damage
Who is going to trust a monetary system where leaders of said nations are dictators?
