I've never quite understood what binds the BRICS together other than some vague opposition to the West. These five countries are incredibly diverse, and adding more countries from three different continents isn't gonna change that.
They should add Belarus and Libya as well
Love the term vague opposition.
It seems like the thought with BRICS is "we like how alliances which include the US keep the people down but we don't want to do it with them"
LOL. Listen to yourself.
I just don't understand what these countries have in common except some vague opposition to 600-years of complete domination by a misogynistic racist genocidal hegemony that oppressed 80% of the world's population, stole trillions of dollars of wealth, killed hundreds of millions of people, and continues to do everything they can to maintain their globe spanning minority dominance.
And then
this alliance is too diverse already, adding more countries like this will make it more diverse, and that's probably bad in some vague way that implies I think an Aryan alliance is generally preferable to a motley crew of shithole countries that are poor and also backwards
Always some hyperbolic BS coming from lemmygrad.
One broken system isn't enough. We somehow need multiple and they each need their own rogues gallery smh
I see the naming being the next difficult topic.
Just call the whole thing X.

Underrated comment.
More international economic cooperation is always good. This has a really good chance of helping to diffuse tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia... which is looking really good for the near-term stability of the Middle East. Thank god.
