The 15th BRICS Summit has decided to bring in Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as new members.

The full membership of new countries in BRICS will begin on January 1 2024, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Thursday.

    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
