Fair enough.I thought maybe it had something to do with the central banking stuff.

WTFever dude, you quote two statements and say you heard it here first then get your panties in a wad because someone doesn’t mind read and know you meant only the second statement you quoted.
Like I said, maybe be less cryptic and more clear in your communications.
As I checked myself...it looks like your BRICS link is outdated.Saudia Arabia hasn’t officially joined BRICS.

In 2026, the status of Saudi Arabia's relationship with BRICS remains complex, following a period of high-profile developments in mid-2025.
Membership Status (Current as of 2026)
- Official Position: While some official BRICS materials listed Saudi Arabia as its 11th member in 2025, Saudi officials have consistently maintained that the kingdom is "still considering" the formal invitation.
- July 2025 Reports: Conflicting reports emerged in July 2025. Some sources claimed Saudi Arabia "officially joined" during that month, while authoritative diplomatic sources clarified that the country attended the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro (July 6–7, 2025) as an active participant but stopped short of formalizing full membership.
- Strategic Hedging: Riyadh continues to balance its economic ties with the China-led bloc against its long-standing security alliance with the United States.
- 2026 Chairship: India officially assumed the rotating presidency of BRICS on January 1, 2026.
- 18th BRICS Summit: Expected to be hosted by India in late 2026 (likely August or September). Saudi Arabia's full participation in this summit will be a major indicator of its final decision on membership

Reporter: Who’s in charge of Venezuela right now? 
Trump: Don’t ask me who’s in charge because I’ll give you an answer and it’ll be very controversial. 
Reporter: What does that mean?
Trump: It means we’re in charge.

How about this? If it never was about the drugs, and was for oil or Rare Earths or Central Bank, the US Government killed over 100 civilians, lied about it and egotistically turned it into propaganda to further an imperialistic agenda.
And I am in no way advocating that Maduro was the right person to lead Venezuela or shouldn’t be held accountable for his crimes.
I’m betting that when we get some time down the road we will find out just how much of a cluster this policy turns out. Kinda dog caught the car bc we know the guy who said “go” can’t control his worst impulses and is maybe the worst long term thinker in that position in our lifetimes.

You keep mentioning my quote of two statements. Maybe you should’ve asked which single sentence was important to my response instead of assuming.

I'm with ya, it was never about drugs, but the antisemitism in that post is a little over the top.

Anti Zionist and antisemitic are not the same thing.
Zionists use the antisemitism trope as a smoke and mirror tactic. The account is Muslim. So he is very anti Zionist much like the Palestinian people under their oppression. So, you’ll have to sympathize.
Saddam Hussein was an evil man.
But I don't think anyone can make the case that things were better in Iraq after he was gone.
Will they even be able to convict him? Not only are they incompetent, but it is doubtful that he was/is some sort of drug kingpin.
This is just a dumber, more contrived Iraq situation. Imperialism at it's core. And it has the potential to end worse for everyone involved.
Weird that the BRICS portal doesn't know who their members are.
The BRICS countries list has actually grown from five founding members to eleven full members, with Saudi Arabia officially joining in July 2025 along with earlier additions.

I had to stop at this one. This is dumb. Like saying, "LA Street gangs? The largest gang is US law enforcement who have killed....."
Purdue pharma did bad things. What they did was horrible but unfortunately legal. I don't know how you could know that they "killed 500,000 Americans as the manufacturer of one of the many abused opiates. The Sacklers paid out billions in fines and the company was dissolved.
Was that enough? I don't know. But, they are not narco-terrorists, and they did not receive "nothing."
This is a fallacy of comparison. Which is great for getting already angry people worked up but not very effective in getting skeptical people to agree to a conspiracy theory that you are about to propose.
