In the last 30 years 3 rulers have tried to sell oil not using the U.S, dollar, Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein and Putin. I'm not saying the BRICS+ nations are better than us, but what they are doing on the money side is not bad. And yes we have screwed the pooch on the sactions side.
BRICS want to be able to buy and sell goods with whom ever in whatever currency they wish.
And not have their “assets” (treasuries) seized over a disagreement. It will still be a while though; “little by little then all at once”.
