I was provided this video in a lib pit during a discussion on BRICS. It was somehow supposed to refute the legitimacy of the project and cast it in a negative light (I guess?)

Honestly the video seems like high-school level information-wise, and says very little other than (paraphrased) things like:

  • Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea cooperate

  • These four states which USA considers to be enemies are helping each other, for some nefarious reason

  • Countries which share a border can trade with each other

  • Other countries in Asia can also trade and cooperate with these four countries that we don't like, because they also share borders with them

It never explicitly says if or why this is all bad, per se, it just heavily implies it with the imagery of "blue team good red team bad", and depicting the leaders of these four evil countries as cartoon super-villains.

    LOL, the top youtube comment already calls out the bullshit this video is peddling

    You start your "story" in 2022, but it really started in 2014.
