People from different countries have to abide by their own government decisions, usually. Sometimes foreigners affect your country's economy in many different ways. That could be through investments, a country's reputation, sovereignty, or the normal every day life decisions they take.
For example, North America is normally known as USA-CAN-MX, or some claim. In countries like Canada, they claim NA is USA-CAN-Greenland. Different countries may have a different system of governing and perhaps different opinions of the aspects of the daily life.
Yet, the current global conflicts could lead to a very different tomorrow in many ways. With Russia being perhaps the big winner in all of this. When dealing with every day matters in NA, you have countries from EU and SA that also benefit from our NA trade agreements. Here in Mexico, our daily exports are mostly to the US. Yet, the Ukraine invasion has affected our economy in many ways. For instance, part of our lives are affected by the high costs of gold.
When dealing with USA - MX relations, many countries always try to tip the balance, so to speak. The relation that countries who have respect for Russia have, created a motion of nations to counter the value of the US dollar, and also the Mexican Peso. Tensions between the US and Mexico, plus the tensions between Canada and Mexico make the NA continent ready to fumble.
Here in Mexico, the different social classes are affected in many ways, specially with misleading information. For instance when you have famous people who scam others for millions, and even after having done that, the same famous people cover each other's backs. Or, when due to their wrong doing, they'll give a bad reputation to others, to make them seem like terrible human beings so that the public turns a blind eye to their initial wrongdoing. Here in Mexico is very common that some rich famous artists and singers steal money by committing tax evasion. Then their friends usually turn a blind eye and do nothing.
For example, the fentanyl crisis. Hundreds of thousands of people dying due to that, and the famous people who turn a bind eye to it, sometimes talk down on the people who are actually doing something, giving them more trouble and making things harder. Here in Mexico is very common some artists and singers have sentimental relationships with cartel murderers, who proceed with absolute heinous acts against human lives. And their fame circles pretend like nothing is happening. To make things worse, sometimes those people are from other countries and instead of actually helping someone in need, they rather steal or murder. Sometimes some political candidates protect them as well, due to large sums of money or more votes.
The information is everywhere, when some people claim to be true sometimes they only care about their money, fame and status. Sometimes some of those people are child molesters, and in return they get more fame and money. No wonder some middle east countries claim some people from NA are corrupting their soil for stepping on it. I have to admit that child molesters should kicked out of the public eye for good. What has America become? Or, has that always been the case?
Regardless of all of that, the brics nations are going to put some stress on the US dollar, and also the Mexican peso. What does Spain has to gain here? I mean, they seem to protect the presidents that turned Mexico into a killzone. Yet, they have helped Mexico in many ways, like the banking system. Moreover, they benefit from the energy treaties, and also the Mexican Oil.
Looking at the past, and the bad relationships some magnates have with countries like Brazil, is very likely NA could enter yet another great depression. China on the other hand, is looking quite strong for a trading agreement. Their economy could flourish because they are investing in developing countries. I still think that Mexico should strengthen the ties we have with China a bit more. Mexico could use some innovative Chinese technology. With the US being our biggest trade partner, and a better trade agreement with the Chinese government, Mexico could be looking better with a brighter future for the long run. I mean, the Chinese a great market that could bring about many opportunities.
In terms when dealing with Russia, everyone has to agree that illegally invading Ukraine to disrupt the global economy is completely unacceptable, and Putin should be judged under the international court of law. Any of those who claim that kidnapping thousands of children is okay, should be sanctioned. If Europe choses to acquire their energy from Russia, that is only going to make things worse. Russia is going to grow stronger economically and politically. The economies that could turn the balance could be Australia, Germany and Italy. At the end of the day, they could all pretend that nothing is happening, could they?
