The strategies of Russia, Iran and China (RIC) are to a large extent influenced by their suffering from Western aggression, and the need to defend against future aggression. All three are civilizational states with deep roots in history. All are rich nations, that have yet to tap their full potential, and all three have a history of abiding by international law and honoring treaties. RIC nations are focused on across the board development to recover from the periods during which they suffered from Western domination. Russia from the 1990s destruction and pilferage frequently referred to as the “Rape of Russia”. Iran from 80 years of plunder and terrorism by the Anglo-American duo, while China has managed to recover from the devastation of the Century of Shame.

All three nations achieved phenomenal development during these two decades. Today by far the deadliest weapon of mass destruction in Washington‘s arsenal lies not with the Pentagon or its traditional killing machines. It‘s de facto a silent weapon: the ability of Washington to control the global supply of money, of dollars, through actions of the privately-owned Federal Reserve in coordination with the US Treasury and select Wall Street financial groups. Developed over a period of decades since the decoupling of the dollar from gold by Nixon in August, 1971, today control of the dollar is a financial weapon that few if any rival nations are prepared to withstand, at least not yet.

Illegal unilateral sanctions, the most common instrument used, are far from being the only instrument in the Bretton Woods arsenal. Federal Reserve interest rates, global banks, rating agencies, hedge funds, commodity exchanges, Bank of International Settlements edicts, etc. are all Western tools available for attacking national economies. Russia, Iran and China have all prepared defenses on an individual bases and in collaboration with each other. The preparations of RIC countries are as follows:
