Default BRICS an upcoming super alliance

So far this organization consist of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, Iran and some more. The are many more countries who want to join this organization. Turkey is also interested in becoming a member

Soon we will see an alliance who is bigger in everything-Money, military and population.

Can't remember the numbers it was provided in the news yesterday. Where they talked about the summit in Kazan.

First get rid of "super". Bigger? Not really, this collocation has more problems to solve than us more grifter countries, Brazil Turkey India South Africa will not go away from the dollar. Turkey and India are countries operates in both sides and will never leave the West. And is there really anyone thinking they can unite the global south? Even when they were our colonies, they were not profitable I wish BRICS all good luck with them, good riddance.

The next wave of expansion came at the 2023 BRICS summit, with invitations extended to six newcomers: Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). All accepted except Argentina, after its newly elected President Javier Milei pledged to turn the country in a pro-West direction, saying that it would not “ally with communists.” Saudi Arabia has reportedly accepted the membership, but has delayed officially joining without giving detailed further explanation.

Alright maybe using the word super was to much.

The alliance will be a factor towards NATO and EU.

Yes some of these members are also pro-West.

Substitut the Dollars and Euros-With their own currency ?

I can very well see this alliance create their own common currency as a counterweight to Dollars and Euros

Most important-I'm not looking at the development of BRICS today or tomorrow-I'm looking at it 10-15 years from now.

I think it unwise to get into cahoots with any country led by a dictator.

BRICS represents ~32-36% of the global GDP, G20 ~80-85%, G7 ~30-45%.

BRICS represents 44-45% of the global population, G20 64%, G7 10%.

BRICS emits ~40% of global CO2, G20 78-80%, G7 ~23%.


Another ~40 countries have further expressed interest for membership in BRICS.

Note that some states are members in several organizations, thats why the %-numbers do not add up for 100%, but exceed it. The wider ranges given are indeed intentional, since sources vary drastically, depending on whom you refer to and what ideological camp he sides with. I am surprised by how much effect this bias seems to have.

Russia and China are drivng the agenda, but Russia currently finds it difficult to dominate it as much as it intends. Several countries have an interest to jump off the dollar regime.

Conclusion: BRICS is powerful enough that only a fool would not take it as a serious multidimensional challenge. Mocking it is premature.
