It is not hyperbole to say that the 15th BRICS Summit, that wrapped-up today in Johannesburg, South Africa, was a historic event and a geopolitical milestone that is bound to have deep repercussions in the years to come.
Even before the summit there was drama and suspense, like French President Macron fishing for an invite and being snubbed, or the realization that Putin would not be there personally because of the ICC arrest warrant.
Add to that the successful Indian space mission that put a spacecraft in the Lunar surface, and the shock with Wagner PMC’s Prigozhin plane crash death, and you have the stuff history is made of.

As expected, the position to expand the club, sponsored by China and Russia, prevailed in the end – and six new members will be added in January 2024.
Reuters reported:
“The BRICS bloc of developing nations agreed on Thursday to admit Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, Argentina and the United Arab Emirates in a move aimed at accelerating its push to reshuffle a world order it sees as outdated.
The group’s leaders left the door open to future enlargement, potentially paving the way for the admission of dozens more countries motivated by a desire to level a global playing field they consider rigged against them.”
The new arrivals join the founding members China, Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa, in a move that adds geopolitical clout to the group.
“‘This membership expansion is historic’, Chinese President Xi Jinping, the bloc’s most stalwart proponent of enlargement, said. ‘It shows the determination of BRICS countries for unity and cooperation with the broader developing countries’.”

What “deep repercussions in the years to come” can you enumerate?
Trump repatriated $4 Quadrillion from the Vatican. That’s 1000 trillion so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
Thanks Salty !
Do it before everyone shorts the dollar……sounds complicated.
A coalition of losers pretending to be relevant
Thanks for the reply Ggirl !
“Sorry, I can’t take BRICS seriously. India and China hate each other and are actively killing each other’s soldiers in periodic border clashes, Russia is a basket case, and Brazil’s promising future never seems to turn into the present.”
Then you won’t mind them dumping the US dollar hegemony.
