Billed as the end of western financial tyranny. The US dollar is about to take a big hit, if it hasn't already.

Apparently the US has brought it on itself, seeing as most member countries are countries that have been sanctioned by the US, 1/3rd of the world.

The president of one can't even visit one of the other countries without being arrested.

Sounds like a very stable currency.

BRICS doesnt recognize Crimea as Russias territory. Sounds fine by me.

ce political discourse hasn't evolved beyond partisan squabbles over domestic wedge issues; of course no one here's talking about geopolitics or macro trends

with that said though, brics takes a bit of a backseat to the general global trends toward geopolitical multipolarity, de-dollarization in international settlements, and chinese dominance of global trade

BRICS isn't a real thing. There's no real cooperation and the countries involved all hate each other.

They forgot the part where they have to have western customers for their shitty products produced from slave labor. Otherwise it could have been a threat.

Honestly theyre the ones shitting BRICS now that Biden actually made the coalition with South Korea and Japan happen. Thats a huge response to China and North Korea.

Was going to ask why they're using Mercator as their projection instead of Robinson or Winkel tripel then realized obviously it's to make Russia look as big as possible. Classy.

BRICS is doomed to fail from the beginning as China, Russia, and India will each argue their currency should be the reserve and won't compromise.

BRICS is basically a group of frenemies banding together to accomplish nothing since they're stuck more on the enemy part of frenemy.

Meanwhile, the USA is mending its relationship with Vietnam. Not to mention Biden being able to get the main leaders of Japan and South Korea to form an allyship on good terms.

this post has a strong paid content vibe to it.

so, dear TC, BRICS? Really? Are we talking about the country with the open air defecation problem, the country that had apartheid not many decades ago, the country with a corruption problem so big theyre drilling the Amazon jungle or the country that has the biggest land mass in the planet but a GDP about the size of Italys?

China is the only dangerous country in that block lol.

BRICS is a fucking joke. Hell, Argentina might elect a president that officially adopts the dollar.

BRICS doesn't actually do anything besides talking about how they are going to destroy the Western Hegemony without actually doing anything. They are somehow more useless and pointless than the UN.

Between them all this could work if the country's could settle their differences sns trust one another. If only for their desire to detached themsevles from the west.

But it doesn't seem like it'll be happening anytime soon it seems since they lack the infrastructure still and a centralized currancy.

South Africa is not in a good place right now and Russia is Russia. As said, Putin can't even visit some of those countries without risking arrest.
