Absolutely astonishing that Iran and Saudi Arabia would be admitted side-by-side. Geopolitical arch-rivals joining the same economic bloc like this might signal a watershed moment for multipolarity.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

BRICS truly gunning for world peace with:
Iran + Saudi Arabia
Egypt + Ethiopia
China + India
Which is why it is going to fall apart at the first sign of trouble. Adding more member states to an already fragile coalition is only going to heighten the disputes among them, which means there isn’t going to have any common policy coming out from BRICS going forward.
This plays perfectly into the hands of the US and the increasingly vassalized EU bloc, and gives Biden the perfect opportunity to strike hard and fast against an entire group of countries that don’t quite know what they all want. The US/EU bloc with unquestioning loyalty and unity is always going to be at an advantage compared to the squabbling BRICS countries.
The US is really in a prime position to bury BRICS once and for all (possibly this fall to late 2023), when the overwhelming dollar liquidity is flowing outwards to the foreign sector once again.
