BRICS announces 6 new members
(news.cgtn.com)
Coomers are going to have a blast drawing new waifus
That's a lot of African representation, which is nice because South Africa is particularly small compared to the other original members. Would be kinda sadfunny if the ancap from Argentina wins the election and tries a complete 180 on this, but otherwise this is great news. I guess I expected Cuba and Syria would also be on the first batch, but they might be testing the waters before whipping out the "controversial" ones.
Watch the dollar drop like a Yankee's net worth after suffering an accident without health insurance.
I hope they join soon, but I believe that first they want to strengthen the bloc and then join these and other countries most affected by US imperialism
Nigeria would be a perfect fit, but they are content siding with the West without even getting benefits like South Korea does.
Holy shit, the saudies? This is really the end of the petrodollar wow.
We could do with an emoji with that fucked around and found out chart but it's Xi or Chen Weihua holding the pointer. Have a feeling it'll be used more and more, moving forward.
BRICSEESIA
Symbolic representation matters, especially if the bloc continues to grow. I wonder if there will be a legitimate desire for a name that goes beyond an acronym. The nice thing about something like "Warsaw Pact" was that it could be used for any number of participants.
They could call it "The International Community"
Oh the international community isn't going to like that at all.
Well, they already have the "Rules-Based International Order", how about the "Kicks Ass-Based International Order?", or the "Totally Shreds-Based International Order".
BRICS+, Expanded BRICS; and BRICSX, where X represents the number of member states, are all acceptable.
BRICS 2: The Bricsenning
Electric Boogaloo
They're gonna steal Saudi Arabia to the US, banger
And if the US makes Saudi Arabia an enemy in response we might see a 9/11-2.
Oh damn, I'm excited now. I hope they'll make it bigger than the first one.
I could see a world in which the US becomes even more cucked for Saudi oil instead. Venezuela ain't gonna cut it.

this article didn't age well!
lmao. Iran is a big surprise tbh. That just makes the yanks seethe ever harder
Finally! I was waiting for this since we applied last year, I'm honestly surprised they invited Egypt considering the current economic situation. Maybe this will help us get out of the crippling weight of foreign debt. Also surprised Algeria wasn't invited when it's more ideologically aligned to current BRICS countries, while Egypt tries to play both sides since the 70s (although it's increasingly looking east recently).
BRICS not trying to win challenge (impossible)
