Based, Westerners already got UN and EU. They should be kept from infiltrating our organization and turning it into another UN/EU-esque organization meant to only serve them and bend into their rules.
It would be cool if French Guyana got in, I guess. The rest of France can stay neatly in Europe with their soaring energy prices.
That would be hilarious, but that would be a slap in the face of all the African countries France colonized.
"Sorry France, you're still pretty first world. Let those riots cook for another few years, then we'll talk"
Probably because BRICS knows that France has no intention on furthering the goals of the organization.
I think it's France realizing it's on a sinking ship and wants to jump to another boat.
It might be a good time to also change to a better projection than the "Huge Greenland" one. That one makes it seem as if Europe even has any landmass to boast. For reference, Venezuela has roughly double the area of France. And look at that tiny India!
Happy to finally see the Global South uniting and rising up to prominence as it always should've been 🥰🥰🥰
I was gonna ask about Cuba and Venezuela since it seemed like a no-brainer, so I’m glad they’ve formally applied.
I still can't believe that Goldman Sachs is partially responsible for this.
Goldman Sachs named BRICS. It was originally meant to be a "hottest place to invest" thing for investors. That's why South Africa is in the original group, when it honestly doesn't match the other 4 in size or influence.
They were probably going to come together anyways, but South Africa being part of the original 5 is due to Goldman Sachs imo.SA has a good amount of natural resources even if their population and economy is smaller.
They also are at a geographical point for global south trade that will see their importance grow. Same geography is why they end up as a fiber optic hub for projects like the BRICS Cable.
Is BRICS something you apply to? I didn't think it was a formal org, just like a classification.
Where can we apply? This application document has got to be fire
Again, the new members are only invited. They still need to accept the offer.
Pretty sure all those countries already applied previously. There is zero chance of them not accepting the offers.
shitting BRICS
