World power undergoing revision

NEVER has the world fought on so many dimensions, but who is winning militarily, in finance, technology, diplomacy, media, culture and law?

Regarding relationship blocs, 40 more countries have indicated they will apply for Brics membership; 159 nations out of 195 have indicated an interest in participating in the Brics-set currency clearing system that will allow nations to conduct substantial trade in their own currencies. This will allow them more leeway to avoid or mitigate control by the US, having seen how the US and the EU have taken over Russian, Iraqi, Venezuelan, Libyan and other accounts, as well as have denied access to the Swift clearing system, which have become an instrument for the monitoring and control of trade, destroying the economies of nations, as well as subjugating the sovereignty of many others.
