I have been following Brics for about 4 years. Interest in Brics really took off once the US/EU froze Russian Assists, and very high interest levels were reached with a flood of applicants after the EU decided to steal Russian Assets.
Trump however has made the case for Brics, if there was ever a case to be made. Trump is telling countries who they can trade with, coupled with his Tariffs/Sanctions which are indistinguishable in application.
Trump came into office loaded to break Brics and has only made the organization stronger with activities directed against India, China, Brazil, Thailand and other countries.
The key draw of Brics is that no one is allowed to participate in Sanctions. Of course everyone who joins Brics, or applies to join understands that they may well be cut off from Trade with Trump and the EU.
Never before has the US extended a war to a worldwide Sanction regime to break a nation we are not at war with officially. However, the world has watched the US use SWIFT since 1999 against many countries, implement various sanctions, and actively now force countries to choose who they can trade.
Africa is in fact waking up to B&R. Ghana and Liberia have thrown them out. I expect more will follow.
There was also riots in Angola against the Chinese.
What the guys with guns on their flag....Say it isn’t so.
I have been all over the continent. What I saw was deeply concerning. I am hopeful they will turn it around.
