The #UnitedStates & #Britain have responded w/ #airstrikes on #Houthi targets, but the attacks have continued.

Ditching the Dollar: The #BRICS collective, comprising #Brazil, #Russia, #India, #China and #SouthAfrica, is working on a common currency in an attempt to ditch the US dollar and push back against America’s dominance.
