I am not sure how many people realize how big of trouble BRICS is already in. The two linchpins in China and Russia have a ton of issues going on both internally and externally.
When you then factor in how this most recent summit how for the first time Xi Jinping did not attend a summit in 13 years and how Putin didnt travel due to his arrest warrants its is pretty telling.
BRICS is scared of the US even with Iran in attendance. While they criticized the attacks on Iran they did not say anything about who attacked Iran when it is a very openly known thing. Why because they did not want to upset the US.
Last thing is the hilarious nature of Brazil's President Lua da Silva went after NATO for hiking military spending to 5% of GDP annually by 2035 clearly ignoring that it is that Blocs countries that are at war and have been threatening to invade others not NATO. It is the pot calling the kettle black if I have ever seen it!
Experts in international buiness and geopolitics have highlighted how BRICS is already running into more and more issues after its "huge" moves last year
João Alfredo Nyegray, an international business and geopolitics professor at the Pontifical Catholic University in Parana, said the summit could have played a role in showing an alternative to an unstable world, but it won’t do so.“The withdrawal of Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and the uncertainty about the level of representation for countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are confirming the difficulty for the BRICS to establish themselves as a cohesive pole of global leadership,” Nyegray said. “This moment demands high-level articulation, but we are actually seeing dispersion.”
